BOWERS FIELD—AIRPORT MASTER PIAN <br />Task 14.3. – FAA Compliance Summary <br />ObJective <br />Applying for and receiving Airport improvement Program (AIP) grant funding contractually obligates an <br />airport sponsor to comply with the Assurances contained in the application package. FAA makes <br />continual efforts to educate sponsors in general about their grant obligations, but much of FAA's <br />compliance efforts with individual sponsors is reactive, in that violations come to FAA's attention and <br />require correction. The objective of this task is to take a proactive—even preemptive—approach to <br />achieving compliance and avoiding noncompliance at a specific airport with its unique circumstances by <br />examining existing and potential compliance issues as part of an airport planning project. <br />Aparoach <br />The airport sponsor through their Consultant will conduct a thorough review of the approved airport <br />layout plan (ALP), Exhibit 'A' Property Map, Airport Ordinance (if any), Zoning Ordinance, Rules and <br />Regulations, Minimum Standards, airport enterprise fund/budget, leases, easements, permits and any <br />other pertinent governing documents to ascertain consistency with the Assurances. A common-sense <br />"look -around" will also take place to identify potential problems, such as: <br />A. incompatible land uses in the airport environs and/or an absence of appropriate airport - <br />compatibility zoning <br />B. existing "through -the -fence" access for aircraft based off airport property and/or possible future <br />requests for same (especially residential airparks) <br />C. revenue diversion (including improper use of airport property) <br />D. on -airport residential use (sometimes called "crew quarters") <br />E. non -aeronautical local events closing: the airport or a runway (such as drag racing on runways) <br />F. unabated wildlife attractants <br />G. trees or structures (possibly unstudied/uncharted) obstructing the airport's airspace <br />H. anything else in conflict with the Assurances or sound operation of the airport <br />Proguct <br />A. Summarize current compliance with FAA Grant Assurances. <br />a. List and describe any existing and potential compliance issues, referenced to the specific <br />Assurance or other obligation involved. <br />C. For existing violations, recommend remedies and time frame for achieving compliance. <br />D. For potential violations, recommend strategies to avoid noncompliance (i.e., new ordinance) <br />E. Develop and implement a strategy/program to educate the airport sponsor's decision -makers <br />and the general public on the components and importance of compliance.
