New Guidance on Oil and Gas Extraction at Federally Obligated Airports

June 3 – Advisory Circular Reminds Airports of Existing Requirements

News & Update You are subscribed to News & Updates from the FAA Homepage. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. New Guidance on Oil and Gas Extraction at Federally Obligated Airports   The FAA today posted an advisory circular (AC) on oil and gas extraction on airport property. The AC does not create new requirements, but describes how existing statutory and regulatory requirements apply to proposed oil and gas extraction on or beneath airport property at federally-obligated airports.   As the number of airport sponsors interested in allowing oil and gas extraction activities on airport property continues to grow, the FAA wanted to provide this guidance for airport sponsors that have federal obligations.   The FAA understands that many airport sponsors want to utilize oil and gas extraction as a source of airport revenue. Sponsors must ensure proposed mineral extraction activities do not violate any of their obligations and requirements.   Some of these FAA requirements, outlined in the new AC, include seeking and receiving FAA approval of Airport Layout Plan changes for on-airport development before drilling begins; ensuring the extraction does not create a hazard or conflict with current or planned aviation purposes; getting fair market value payments for the oil and gas lease and use of airport land; and using the revenue as outlined in the FAA's revenue use policy and grant agreements.   As with any proposed change in airport land use, the AC urges airport sponsors to contact the appropriate FAA Airports District Office or Regional Office as early as possible in the process.   ### Please do not reply to this message.

FAA Breaks Ground for New Air Traffic Control Tower at Charlotte Douglas International Airport

Press Release For Immediate Release Date: Thursday, June 2, 2016                                                            Contact: Kathleen.Bergen@faa.gov Phone: (404) 305-5100; Cell:  (404) 660-7123 You are subscribed to News updates for the Federal Aviation Administration. A new Press Release is now available. We've included a copy of the release in this email. CHARLOTTE, N.C. – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Deputy Administrator Michael G. Whitaker broke ground today for a new 370-foot-tall air traffic control tower and radar approach control at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT).  The new tower will enable air traffic controllers to continue to provide the safest, most efficient service to flights at the nation's fifth busiest tower.   "This investment in our aviation infrastructure will position us to handle the future growth that we forecast for Charlotte," said Secretary Foxx.  "This new air traffic control facility will help us serve travelers at one of our busiest airline hubs for decades to come."   "The FAA is committed to modernizing our air traffic control system," said Deputy Administrator Whitaker, who also is the FAA's Chief NextGen Officer.  "Investing in NextGen will make air travel more efficient, dependable, and even safer."   The new air traffic control tower will be equipped with state-of-the-art Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NextGen, technology including Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS), Data Communications, Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), and Advanced Electronic Flight Strip System (AEFS).  Charlotte also is the test site for Airspace Technology Demonstration (ATD-2).   The 850-square-foot tower cab has enough room to accommodate additional future air traffic control positions.  The 42,000-square-foot base building will house an expanded terminal radar approach control (TRACON), with space for future growth.  Training rooms, administrative offices, and a power distribution supply system will also be in the base building, along with the latest aviation security and air traffic simulation capabilities.   In addition, the new 370-foot-tall tower at CLT will provide air traffic controllers with a bird's-eye view of the airfield, and will accommodate current operations and future growth.  The new Charlotte tower will be the second tallest tower in the National Airspace System after the 398-foot-tall tower at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The existing tower was commissioned in 1979.  The facility's operational growth, new air traffic control technology, and the airport's addition of new runways and taxiways made the height and size of the old tower obsolete.   Charlotte Tower controllers handled about 225,000 takeoffs and landings from January 1 to May 31, 2016, making it the fifth busiest tower in the country.  In 2015, CLT was the sixth busiest tower, when controllers handled 544,000 takeoffs and landings.  TRACON controllers handled 572,330 instrument operations (overflights) in 2015, making it the 13th busiest radar approach control.  Traffic at CLT is forecast to grow to 748,000 by 2040.   CLT also handles significant quantities of air cargo and was recently included in the Department's designation of the Interim National Multimodal Freight Network as one of the top airports for freight movement in the country.  Please see https://www.transportation.gov/freight/InterimNMFN for more information on the designation of the Interim National Multimodal Freight Network.   A total of 179 FAA employees work at Charlotte Tower and TRACON – 136 in Air Traffic and 43 in Technical Operations.  Technical Operations employees install and maintain air traffic control equipment.   The FAA awarded a $60 million contract to build the new facility in January 2016 to Archer Western Construction.  Equipment, installation and training costs, and demolition of the old tower bring the total project cost to $112 million.   Construction of the tower and TRACON base building is expected to be complete in 2018, and the facility will be fully operational in 2020.  ### Please do not reply to this message.
