is granted to any person, firm, or corporation to conduct or to engage in any. aeronautical activity for
16 of 20
furnishing services to the public at the airport, the Sponsor will insert and enforce provisions requiring
the contractor to-
1) furnish said services on a reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, basis to all users thereof,
and
2) charge reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, prices for each unit or service, provided that
the contractor may be allowed to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory discounts, rebates, or
other similar types of price reductions to volume purchasers.
c. Each fixed -based operator at the airport shall be subject to the same rates, fees, rentals, and other
charges as are uniformly applicable to all other fixed -based operators making the same or similar
uses of such airport and utilizing the same or similar facilities.
d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to lase any fixed -based
operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport to serve any air carrier at such airport.
e. Each air carrier using such airport (whether as a tenant, non tenant, or subtenant of another air
carrier tenant) shall be subject to such nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules,
regulations, conditions, rates, fees, rentals, and other charges with respect1to facilities directly and
substantially related to providing air transportation as are applicable to all such air carriers which
make similar use of such airport and utilize similar facilities, subject to reasonable classifications such
as tenants or non tenants and signatory carriers and non signatory carriers: Classification or status as
tenant or signatory shall not be unreasonably withheld by any airport provided an air carrier assumes
obligations substantially similar to those already imposed on air carriers in such classification or
status.
f. It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent any person, firm, or
corporation operating aircraft on the airport from performing any services on its own aircraft with its
own employees [including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling] that it may choose to
perform.
g. In the event the Sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges referred to in this assurance,
the services involved will be provided on the same conditions as would apply to the furnishing of such
services by commercial aeronautical service providers authorized by the Sponsor under these
provisions.
h. The Sponsor may establish such reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, conditions to be met by
all users of the airport as may be necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the airport.

such action is necessary for the safe operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil aviation
needs of the public. f
23. Exclusive Rights. It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person providing, or
intending to provide, aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this paragraph, the providing of
the services at an airport by a single fixed -based operator shall not be construed as an exclusive right if
both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly, burdensome, or impractical for more than ;one fixed -based operator
to provide such services, and
b. If allowing more than one fixed -based operator to provide such services would require the reduction
of space leased pursuant to an existing agreement between such single fixed -based operator and
such airport. It further agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or permit any person,
firm, or corporation, the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any aeronautical activities, including,
but not limited to charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental and sightseeing, aerial photography, crop
dusting, aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier operations, aircraft sales and services, sale of
aviation petroleum products whether or not conducted in conjunction with other aeronautical activity,
repair and maintenance of aircraft, sale of aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of
their direct relationship to the operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and
that it will terminate any exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity now existing at such an
airport before the grant of any assistance under Title 49, United States Code.
24. Fee and Rental Structure. It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and services at the
airport which will make the airport as self- sustaining as possible under the circwmstances existing at the
particular airport, taking into account such factors as the volume of traffic and economy of collection. No
part of the Federal share of an airport development, airport planning or noise compatibility project for
which a grant is made under Title 49, United States Code, the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of
1982, the Federal Airport Act or the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be included in the
rate basis in establishing fees, rates, and charges for users of that airport.

and which are directly and substantially related to the actual air transportation of passengers or
property; or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport. The following exceptions apply to this
paragraph:
1. If covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued before September 3, 1982, by the owner or
operator of the airport, or provisions enacted before September 3, 1982, in governing statutes
controlling the owner or operator's financing, provide for the use of the revenues from any of the
17 of 20 .
airport owner or operator's facilities, including the airport, to support not only the airport but also
the airport owner or operator's general debt obligations or other facilities, then this limitation on
the use of all revenues generated by the airport (and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes
on aviation fuel) shall not apply.

2. If the Secretary approves the sale of a privately owned airport to a public sponsor and provides
funding for any portion of the public sponsor's acquisition of land, this limitation on the use of all
revenues generated by the sale shall not apply to certain proceeds fronh the sale. This is
conditioned on repayment to the Secretary by the private owner of an amount equal to the
remaining unamortized portion (amortized over a 20 -year period) of any airport improvement
grant made to the private owner for any purpose other than land acquisition on or after October 1,
1996, plus an amount equal to the federal share of the current fair market value of any land
acquired with an airport improvement grant made to that airport on or after October 1, 1996.
3. Certain revenue derived from or generated by mineral extraction, production, lease, or other
means at a general aviation airport (as defined at Section 47102 of title 49 United States Code), if

share of acquisition of such land will be, at the discretion of the Secretary, (1) reinvested in another
project at the airport, or (2) transferred to another eligible airport as prescribed by the Secretary. The
Secretary shall give preference to the following, in descending order, (1) reinvestment in an approved
noise compatibility project, (2) reinvestment in an approved project that is eligible for grant funding
under Section 47117(e) of title 49 United States Code, (3) reinvestment in an approved airport
development project that is eligible for grant funding under Sections 47114, 47115, or 47117 of title
49 United States Code, (4) transferred to an eligible sponsor of another public airport to be reinvested
in an approved noise compatibility project at that airport, and (5) paid to the Secretary for deposit in
the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. If land acquired under a grant for noise compatibility purposes is
leased at fair market value and consistent with noise buffering purposes, tYie lease will not be
considered a disposal of the land. Revenues derived from such a lease may be used for an approved
airport development project that would otherwise be eligible for grant funding or any permitted use of
airport revenue. .
i
b. For land purchased under a grant for airport development purposes (other than noise compatibility), it
will, when the land is no longer needed for airport purposes, dispose of such land at fair market value
or make available to the Secretary an amount equal to the United States' proportionate share of the
fair market value of the land. That portion of the proceeds of such disposition which is proportionate
to the United States' share of the cost of acquisition of such land will, upon application to the
Secretary, be reinvested or transferred to another eligible airport as prescribed by the Secretary. The
Secretary shall give preference to the following, in descending order: (1) reinvestment in an approved
noise compatibility project, (2) reinvestment in an approved project that is eligible for grant funding
under Section 47117(e) of title 49 United States Code, (3) reinvestment in an approved airport
development project that is eligible for grant funding under Sections 47114, 47115, or 47117 of title
49 United States Code, (4) transferred to an eligible sponsor of another public airport to be reinvested
in an approved noise compatibility project at that airport, and (5) paid to the Secretary for deposit in
the Airport and Airway Trust Fund.
c. Land shall be considered to be needed for airport purposes under this assurance if (1) it may be
needed for aeronautical purposes (including runway protection zones) or serve as noise buffer land,
and (2) the revenue from interim uses of such land contributes to the financial self - sufficiency of the
airport. Further, land purchased with a grant received by an airport operator or owner before
December 31, 1987, will be considered to be needed for airport purposes if the Secretary or Federal
agency making such grant before December 31, 1987, was notified by the operator or owner of the
uses of such land, did not object to such use, and the land continues to be%Used for that purpose,
such use having commenced no later than December 15, 1989. i
d. Disposition of such land under (a) (b) or (c) will be subject to the retention or reservation of any
interest or right therein necessary to ensure that such land will only be used for purposes which are
compatible with noise levels associated with operation of the airport.
32. Engineering and Design Services. It will award each contract, or sub - contract for program
management, construction management, planning studies, feasibility studies, architectural services,
preliminary engineering, design, engineering, surveying, mapping or related services with respect to the
