SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction and Background 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code 47134 

authorizes the Secretary of 

Transportation, and through delegation, 

the FAA Administrator, to exempt a 

sponsor of a public use airport that has 

received Federal assistance, from certain 

Federal requirements in connection 

with the privatization of the airport by 

sale or lease to a private party. 

Specifically, the Administrator may 

exempt the sponsor from all or part of 

the requirements to use airport revenues 

for airport-related purposes, to pay back 

a portion of Federal grants upon the sale 

or lease of an airport, and to return 

airport property deeded by the Federal 

Government upon transfer of the airport. 

The Administrator is also authorized to 

exempt the private purchaser or lessee 

from the requirement to use all airport 

revenues for airport-related purposes, to 

the extent necessary to permit the 

purchaser or lessee to earn 

compensation from the operations of the 

airport. 

On September 16, 1997, the Federal 

Aviation Administration issued a notice 

of procedures to be used in applications 

for exemption under Airport 

Privatization Pilot Program (62 FR 

48693). A request for participation in 

the Pilot Program must be initiated by 

the filing of either a preliminary or final 

application for exemption with the 

FAA. 

Hendry County submitted an initial 

preliminary application to the Airport 

Privatization Pilot Program for Airglades 

Airport on August 31, 2010. The FAA 

requested additional information and 

Hendry County submitted that 

information on October 6, 2010— the 

filing date of this preliminary 

application. The County may select a 

private operator, negotiate an agreement 

and submit a final application to the 

FAA for exemption. 

If FAA accepts the final application 

for review, the application will be made 

available for public review and 

comment for a sixty-day period. 

Issued in Washington, DC on October 20, 

2010.

Director, Office of Airport Compliance and 

Field Operations.
