Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Approvals and
Disapprovals

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Monthly Notice of PFC Approvals and Disapprovals. In January
2015, there were nine applications approved. This notice also includes
information on two applications, one approved in May 2012 and the other
disapproved in November 2014, inadvertently left off the May 2012 and
November 2014 notices, respectively. Additionally, three approved
amendments to previously approved applications are listed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA publishes a monthly notice, as appropriate, of PFC
approvals and disapprovals under the provisions of the Aviation Safety
and Capacity Expansion Act of 1990 (title IX of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990) (Pub. L. 101-508) and part 158 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 158). This notice is
published pursuant to paragraph d of Sec. 158.29.

PFC Application Disapproved

Public Agency: The Pennsylvania State University, State College,
Pennsylvania.
Application Number: 15-06-C-00-UNV.
Application type: Impose and use a PFC.

[[Page 8127]]

Reason for Disapproval: The Centre County Airport Authority has
exclusive control of the terminal complex at University Park Airport
(UNV) while the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) has exclusive
control of the airfield. The FAA has determined that both organizations
operate independently of each other. Since the proposed PFC
application, submitted by the PSU, included projects that would impact
both airfield and terminal areas, the FAA concluded that the existing
arrangement between the two entities contravenes the public agency's
obligations under the PFC assurances, including requisite legal
authority to impose a PFC to finance and carry out the proposed
projects. Therefore, the FAA could not approve PSU's PFC application.
Decision date: November 20, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lori Ledebohm, Harrisburg Airports
District Office, (717) 730-2835.

Brief Description of Projects Approved for Collection and Use at a
$4.50 PFC Level:

Airfield electrical design and construction.
Perimeter fencing replacement construction.
Airfield pavement rehabilitation design and construction.

Brief Description of Projects Approved for Collection and Use at a
$3.00 PFC Level:

Land use and development study.
Long term development feasibility study.
Drainage pumping station design and construction.
Brief Description of Projects Partially Approved for Collection and
Use at a $3.00 PFC Level: Airfield pavement condition study.
Determination: The FAA reviewed the scope of the project and found
that the following work elements do not meet the requirements of Sec.
158.15(b). Therefore, PFC revenue cannot be used on these elements: (1)
Micro Paver software (or an approved equal); (2) onsite training to
airport staff; and (3) preparing an airfield signage plan showing the
plan location of the airfield signs, depicting sign type, style, size,
model, etc.
Long term planning study.
Determination: The FAA reviewed the supporting documentation and
found that the documentation supported only $6,801,500 in total project
costs and not the $7,551,500 amount shown in the PFC application.
Long term development program--terminal design and construction.
Determination: The FAA partially approved this project for two
reasons. (1) The FAA reviewed the scope of the project and found that
the following work elements did not meet the requirements of Sec.
158.15(b): airport administration (operations offices), baggage service
offices, airline ticket offices, Transportation Security Administration
offices, loading dock, storage, police station, central baggage
inspection system equipment (build out and equipment), and escalation
and contingency fees. (2) The public agency did not include a letter
from Customs and Border Control certifying that the Federal Inspection
Services (FIS) facility is sized to the staffing levels that will be
provided. Therefore, the FAA was not able to verify that the space
requested was the minimum necessary as required in Table N-5 (1) of FAA
Order 5100.38D, Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Handbook, (September
30, 2014). Therefore, PFC revenue cannot be used on items relating to
the FIS facility.
Long term development program--airside design and construction.
Determination: The FAA reviewed the scope of the project and found
that the use of PFC revenue for contingencies does not meet the
requirements of Sec. 158.15(b). Therefore, the public agency may not
use PFC revenue for contingencies.
Long term development program--landside design and construction.
Determination: The FAA reviewed the scope of the project and found
that the following work elements do not meet the requirements of Sec.
158.15(b). Therefore, the public agency may not use PFC revenue on the
following elements: contingencies; parking structure(s); hotel
infrastructure; access roads (off-airport); landscaping within site
development; surface parking; and utilities.
Brief Description of Disapproved Project: Access road improvements,
design and construction.
Determination: Table P-3(a)(6) of FAA Order 5100.38D, AIP Handbook,
(September 30, 2014), requires that eligible access roads must
exclusively serve airport traffic. This means that an access road that
serves both airport traffic and non-airport traffic cannot be prorated.
In mixed use situations of

[[Page 8129]]

airport/non-airport use, only the portion of the road that is beyond
the non-airport access point is eligible. In this case, the proposed
road is not beyond the non-airport access point and, therefore, the
road is not PFC-eligible.
