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 FM'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 />Approach <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.
