49 U.S.C. § 47120 — Grant priority

submitted 32 years ago by Pub. L. 103-272 to r/title-49-TRANSPORTATION · 97 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This short section lets the Secretary favor grant projects that fit an airport system plan. It also tells the FAA to discourage airports from spending automatic funds on low-priority projects. Airports that do so get lower priority when they later request discretionary grants.

(a) In General — In making a grant under this subchapter, the Secretary of Transportation may give priority to a project that fits with an integrated airport system plan. (b) Discretionary Funding To Be Used for Higher Priority Projects — The FAA Administrator must discourage airport sponsors and airports from spending their entitlement funds on lower priority projects. It does this by giving lower priority to discretionary-fund requests from airport sponsors and airports that have used entitlement money on projects ranked lower in priority than the projects for which they are now seeking discretionary funds.
