Brief Description of Projects Partially

Approved for Collection and Use:

Terminals 1, 2, and 3, central public

services building, and administration

building electrical system

reconstruction/upgrade phase 2.

Determination: In accordance with

paragraph 551(d) of FAA Order

5100.38A, revenue producing and non

public-use space such as concessions in

the terminals and the central public

service and administration buildings in

their entirety are not AIP eligible, thus

making utilities which serve those areas

ineligible. In phase 1 of this project,

partially approved in the 95–02–C–00–

SMF Record of Decision, the public

agency determined and the FAA

concurred, that approximately 49

percent of the project served ineligible

areas. The public agency did not

provide a new proration with

submission of this project, therefore, the

FAA has used the same ratio of eligible

to ineligible areas as was used on Phase

1 of the project. The public agency has

requested 100 percent PFC funding for

this project. The FAA’s approval

reduced the approved amount to the

prorated cost of the eligible portion of

the project. Reconstruct electrical vault

and construct east electrical vault.

Determination: In accordance with

paragraph 551(d) of FAA Order

5100.38A, revenue producing and non

public-use space such as concessions in

the terminals, rental car facilities, as

well as airport and airline

administrative spaces are not AIP

eligible, thus making utilities which

serve those areas ineligibile. Only that

portion of this project which relates to

eligible facilities is eligible. In the 95–

02–C–00–SMF Record of Decision, the

public agency determined and the FAA

concurred, that, for a project involving

the electrical vault, approximately 52

percent of the project served ineligible

areas. The public agency did not

provide a new proration with

submission of this project which

involves work similar to the previous

approval, therefore, the FAA has used

the same ratio of eligible to ineligible

areas as was used on the previous

project. The public agency has

requested 100 percent PFC funding for

this project. The FAA’s approval

reduced the approved amount to the

prorated cost of the eligible portion of

the project.
22082 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 93 / Monday, May 13, 1996 / Notices

Brief Description of Disapproved

Projects: Air quality mitigation

compress natural gas (CNG) system.

Determination: Disapproved. Based

on information available to the FAA, the

FAA has determined that the CNG

fueling station is a part of the Air

Quality certificate to permit the

Sacramento Metropolitan Airport to

increase the number of terminal

vehicular parking spaces, not for the

1985 runway project, as presented by

the public agency in their Attachment B

for this project. In addition, the project

was not identified as a mitigation action

at the time the environmental finding

was approved for the runway project.

Therefore, this project must be

considered as a project to comply with

Clean Air Act mandates. Section 203 of

the Federal Aviation Administration

Authorization Act of 1994, Public Law

No. 103–305 (August 23, 1994) (49

U.S.C. 40017(a)(3)(F)), expanded PFC

eligibility to include Federal clean air

mandate projects imposed on an airport.

However, this same legislation limited

PFC eligibility to only airside, that is,

aircraft movement area, clean air act

mandate projects unless the project was

also included in an AIP grant. This

proposed project is not considered an

airside project and the proposed

financial plan shows only PFC funding.

Therefore, the project is not PFC

eligible. Airfield support shops and

facilities.

Determination: Disapproved. The

justification provided by the public

agency for this project in the

Attachment B indicates that these

facilities will support the airfield

operations and maintenance, buildings,

and equipment. In a March 13, 1996,

letter to the FAA, the public agency

clarifies that these facilities are not

intended to support ARFF or airfield

lighting requirements. The FAA has

determined that these facilities will

support maintenance and operations

functions at the airport. This project,

therefore, is not AIP eligible in

accordance with Appendix 2, item 11,

of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook.

Therefore, this project does not meet the

requirements of § 158.15(b). Airfield

drainage control equipment—backhoe.

Determination: Disapproved. This

equipment is considered a maintenance

item and, as such, does not qualify as

eligible safety, security, or support

equipment as defined by paragraphs

562, 563, 565, and 566 of FAA Order

5100.38A, AIP Handbook. Therefore,

this project does not meet the

requirements of § 158.15(b). Airfield

sweeper.

Determination: Disapproved. This

equipment is intended for use at another

airport the public agency owns,

Sacramento Mather Airport, not

Sacramento Metropolitan Airport;

however, information provided to the

carriers during consultation as well as

the discussion of the project in the

airline consultation meeting makes no

mention that this sweeper is intended

for use at an airport other than the

airport where the PFC is being imposed.

Therefore, the FAA has determined that

the consultation for this project was not

adequate.

Decision Date: April 26, 1996.
