The DOT/FAA will use any information
submitted in response to this requirement to carry out the intent
of 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. In
particular, Sections 40117(k) and 47106(f) specify that no PFC may
be approved for a covered airport and no AIP grant may be made for
a covered airport unless the airport has submitted a written
competition plan in accordance with the statute. Without this
information, the Secretary/Administrator cannot carry out the
specific legislative directives contained in the statute. The
collection of information will be required from one group – the
approximately 40 public agencies that control covered airports.
