Public Agency: City of Austin (City), Austin, Texas.
Application: 95-04-C-00-AUS.
Application Type: Impose and use PFC revenue.
PFC Level: $3.00
Total Approved Net PFC Revenue: $333,232,479.
Charge Effective Date: July 1, 1995.
Estimated Charge Expiration Date: July 1, 2020.
Class of Air Carriers Not Required to Collect PFC's: On demand air 
taxi/commercial operators that (1) do not enplane or deplane at Robert 
Mueller Municipal Airport's (AUS) or subsequently, Austin Bergstrom 
International Airport's (ABIA) main terminal building or (2) enplane 
fewer than 500 passengers per year at AUS, or subsequently, ABIA.
Determination: Approved. Based on information submitted in the City's 
application, the FAA has determined that the proposed class accounts 
for less than 1 percent of AUS's actual or ABIA's forecasted total 
annual enplancements.
Brief Description of Projects Approved for Collection and Use:
    New airport passenger terminal complex,
    New airport landside facilities.
Brief Description of Project Approved, in Part, for Collection and Use: 
New airport airfield facilities.
Determination: Approved, in part. This project is generally Airport 
Improvement Program eligible in accordance with paragraphs 510, 520, 
521, 523, 524, 530, 532, 534, and 535 of FAA Order 5100.38A. However, 
the 9,000-foot by 150-foot widely spaced parallel runway requested by 
the City was determined to not be an economically justified alternative 
over a closely spaced 9,000-foot runway alternative offered by the air 
carriers during consultation, in accordance with established benefit-
cost criteria. The 7,000-foot by 150-foot runway approved is 
economically justified and provides sufficient capacity to meet the 
runway requirements for opening day at ABIA. The FAA is not approving 
the imposition or use of PFC revenue for the additional 2,000 feet of 
runway. In light of the 12,250-foot length available on existing runway 
17R/35L, the operational requirement for a new 9,000-foot runway has 
not been demonstrated. This approval is based on the City's 
representation that it expects to use locally generated aviation funds 
to construct the additional 2,000 feet of runway and complete the 
9,000-foot length it originally proposed in its application.
Decision Date: April 28, 1995.
