Regulatory Relief for Small Airports: Using State Road Standards for Runways.
This law allows smaller, nonprimary airports to use state highway construction standards for airfield pavement improvements. The goal is to simplify regulations and potentially reduce the cost of maintaining local air infrastructure. This change applies only to airports serving aircraft weighing up to 60,000 pounds and must be approved as safe by the Secretary of Transportation.
Key points
Small regional airports can now adopt state highway specifications for constructing and improving runway pavement.
The change is limited to airports serving lighter aircraft (up to 60,000 pounds gross weight).
The use of state standards is conditional upon a determination that safety will not be negatively affected.
