The DOT/FAA will use any information
submitted in response to this requirement to carry out the intent
of Title 49, Sections 40117 (k) and 47106 (f), which is to assure
that a covered airport has, and implements, a plan that affects its
business practices to provide opportunities for competitive access
by new entrant carriers or carriers seeking to expand. The affected
public includes public agencies controlling medium or large hub
airports.

conditioned on satisfaction of project requirements
The FAA Modernization and
Reform Act of 2012, Pub. L. No. 112-95, 126 Stat. 11 (February 14,
2012) removed the requirements that a covered airport provide
information on patterns of air service and airfare levels compared
to other large airports thereby reducing the workload for
preparation of Competition Plans. FAA has revised the estimated
number of Competition Plans and Competition Plan updates reviewed
each year from 5 to 7, resulting in an overall increase in the
reported burden. A review of the previous computation for
determining Secretary/Administrator recordkeeping for this
requirement showed an error and this computation was revised
accordingly.
