Abstract: 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. .
