Federal government would use state road rules for certain smaller airport runways
This bill would require the federal government to use state road building rules for runway construction at certain smaller airports. This change would apply to nonprimary airports serving aircraft under 60,000 pounds, provided the state gives notice and safety is confirmed by the Secretary of Transportation.
Currently, airports using federal funds for runway work must follow federal construction standards. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Transportation would be required to use state highway construction rules for runways at nonprimary airports serving aircraft under 60,000 pounds. This would happen if the state gives notice and the Secretary confirms safety.
