(a) Definition.--In this section, "amount subject to apportionment" means the amqunt newly made available under section
48103 of this title for a fiscal year.
(b) Apportionment date.--On the first day of each fiscal year, the Secretary of Transportation shall apportion the amount
subject to apportionment for that fiscal year as provided in this section.
(c) Amounts apportioned to sponsors.--
(1) Primary airports.--
(A) Apportionment.-- The Secretary shall apportion to the sponsor of each primary airport for each fiscal year an
amount equal to--
(i) $7.80 for each of the first 50,000 passenger boardings at the airport during the prior calendar year;
(ii) $5.20 for each of the next 50,000 passenger boardings at the airport during the prior calendar year;
(iii) $2.60 for each of the next 400,000 passenger boardings at the airport during the prior calendar year;
(iv) $.65 for each of the next 500,000 passenger boardings at the airport during the prior calendar year; and
(v) $.50 for each additional passenger boarding at the airport during the prior calendar year.
(B) Minimum and maximum apportionments.-- Not less than $650,000 nor more than $22,000,000 may be
apportioned under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph to an airport sponsor for a primary airport for each fiscal year.
(C) Special rule.--In any fiscal year in which the total amount made available under section 48] 03 is $3,200,000,000 or
more--
(i) the amount to be apportioned to a sponsor under subparagraph (A) shall be increased by doubling the amount that
would otherwise be apportioned;
(ii) the minimum apportionment to a sponsor under subparagraph (B) shall be $1,000,000 rather than $650,000; and
(iii) the maximum apportionment to a sponsor under subparagraph (B) shall be $26,000,000 rather than $22,000,000.

Page 2
49 U.S.C.A. ~ 47114
minimum amount set forth in subparagraph (B) or (C), as appropriate, to the sponsor of such airport.
(E) Use of previous fiscal year's apportionment.--Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the Secretary may apportion to
an airport sponsor in a fiscal year an amount equal to the amount apportioned to that sponsor in the previous fiscal year if
the Secretary finds that--
(i) passenger boardings at the airport fell below 10,000 in the calendar year used to calculate the apportionment;
(ii) the airport had at least 10,000 passenger boardings in the calendar year prior to the calendar year used to calculate
apportionments to airport sponsors in a fiscal year; and
(iH) the cause of the shortfall in passenger boardings was a temporary but significant interruption in service by an air
carrier to that airport due to an employment action, natural disaster, or other event unrelated to the demand for air
transportation at the affected airport.
(F) Special rule for fiscal years 2004 and 2005.--Notwithstanding subparagraph (A) and the absence of scheduled
passenger aircraft service at an airport, the Secretary may apportion in fiscal years 2004 and 2005 to the sponsor of the
airport an amount equal to the amount apportioned to that sponsor in fiscal year 2002 or 2003, whichever amount is
greater, if the Secretary finds that--
(i) the passenger boardings at the airport were below 10,000 in calendar year 2002 or 2003;
(H) the airport had at least 10,000 passenger boardings and scheduled passenger aircraft service in either calendar year
2000 or 2001; and
(Hi) the reason that passenger boardings described in clause (i) were below 10,000 was the decrease in passengers
following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
(G) Special rule for fiscal year 2006.--Notwithstanding subparagraph (A) and the absence of scheduled passenger
aircraft service at an airport, the Secretary may apportion in fiscal year 2006 to the sponsor of the airport an amount
equal to $500,000, if the Secretary finds that--
(i) the passenger boardings at the airport were below 10,000 in calendar year 2004;
(H) the airport had at least 10,000 passenger boardings and scheduled passenger aircraft service in either calendar year
2000 or 2001; and
(iH) the reason that passenger boardings described in clause (i) were below 10,000 was the decrease in passengers
following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
(2) Cargo airports.--
(A) Apportionment.--Subject to subparagraph (D), the Secretary shall apportion an amount equal to 3.5 percent of the
amount subject to apportionment each fiscal year to the sponsors of airports served by aircraft providing air transportation
of only cargo with a total annual landed weight of more than 100,000,000 pounds.
(B) Suballocation formula.--Any funds apportioned under subparagraph (A) to sponsors of airports described in
subparagraph (A) shall be allocated among those airports in the proportion that the total annual landed weight of aircraft
described in subparagraph (A) landing at each of those airports bears to the total annual landed weight of those aircraft
landing at all those airports.
(C) Limitation.--In any fiscal year in which the total amount made available under section 48103 is less than
$3,200,000,000, not more than 8 percent of the amount apportioned under subparagraph (A) may be apportioned for any
one airport.

by the Secretary, that the Secretary finds will be served primarily by aircraft providing air transportation of only cargo.
(E) Determination of landed weight.--Landed weight under this paragraph is the landed weight of aircraft landing at each
airport described in subparagraph (A) during the prior calendar year.

[(E) Redesignated (B)]
(2) If the Secretary decides that an amount required to be used for grants under paragraph (1) of this subsection cannot be

may use during such fiscal year the amount not so required to make grants for any purpose for which grants may be made
under section 48103. The finding may be based on the notifications that the Secretary receives under section 47105(t) or
on other information received from airport sponsors.

sufficient amount was not available for the restoration.

48103 of this title, an amount equal to the amounts restored under paragraph (2) shall not be available for discretionary
grant obligations under section 47115.
(B) Use of remaining amounts.--Subparagraph (A) does not impair the Secretary's authority under paragraph (1), after a
restoration under paragraph (2), to apply all or part of a restored amount that is not required to fund a grant under an
apportionment to fund discretionary grants.
(4) Limitations on obligations apply.--Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize the Secretary to incur
grant obligations under section 47104 for a fiscal year in an amount greater than the amount made available under section
48103 for such obligations for such fiscal year.
(g) Limiting authority of Secretary.-- The authority of the Secretary to make grants during a fiscal year from amounts that
were apportioned for a prior fiscal year and remain available for approved airport development project grants under
subsection (b) of this section may be impaired only by a law enacted after September 3, 1982, that expressly limits that
authority.

Codifications
Section 125 of Pub.L. 104-264, which was to have repealed certain other amendments by Pub.L. 104-264, effective Sept. 30,
1998, was repealed effective Sept. 29, 1998, by section 110(a) of Title I of Div. C of Pub.L. 105-277. Accordingly,
amendment by section 125 of Pub.L. 104-264 never took effect, and text was restored to provisions as amended by Pub.L.
104-264 without regard to such section 125.
Pub.L. 104-264. ~ 124(d). which directed that in subsec. (e)(1)(B) of this section "1996, 1997, and 1998" be substituted for
"and 1996," was struck out by Pub.L. 105-102. ~ 3(c)(2), given that it could not be executed in view of prior amendment by
section 123(b)(6) of Pub.L. 104-264, which resulted in "and 1996," being stricken from subsec. (e)(I)(B) of this section.
Subsequently, Pub.L. 1 06-6. ~ 7. also directed that subsec. (d) of Pub.L. I 04-264. ~ 124 be struck out.
Pub.L. 105-102. ~ 3(c)(l)(A). revised section 123(b)(6) of Pub.L. 104- 264, October 9, 1996, 110 Stat. 3213, thereby
amending subsec. (e)(I)(B) of this section. Such amendment by section 3(c)(I)(A) ofPub.L. 105-102 effective as if included
in Pub.L. 104-264 when enacted on October 9, 1996.
Pub.L. I 04-287. ~ ~ 5(82)(A), 8(2), Oct. II, 1996, 11 0 Stat. 3397, 3400, as amended by Pub.L. 105-1 02. ~ 3( d)(2)(B), Nov.
20, 1997, 111 Stat. 2215, provided that, effective September 30, 1998, subsec. (e)(1)(A), formerly (B), as redesignated by
section 123(b)(3) of Pub.L. 104-264, is amended by substituting "47504(c)" for "47504(c)(1)". This amendment replaces an
identical substitution of language by section 123(d) ofPub.L. 104-264, as added by section 3(c)(1)(B) ofPub.L. 105-102.
This latter amendment terminated Sept. 30, 1998 pursuant to section 125 of Pub.L. 104-264. As a result, amendment by
Pub.L. 104-287 resulted in no change in text. [The redesignation of subpar. (B) as (A) by section 123(b )(3) of Pub.L. 104-
264 terminated Sept. 30, 1998, pursuant to section 125 of Pub.L. 104-264, resulting in provision once again being set out as
subpar. (A).]

in the same State or geographical area as the primary airport."
Subsec. (e)(1 )(A). Pub.L.l 08-176. ~ 15 I. rewrote subpar. (A), which formerly read: "At least 34 percent for grants for
airport noise compatibility planning under section 47505(a)(2) of this title and for carrying out noise compatibility programs
under section 47504(c) of this title. The Secretary may count the amount of grants made for such planning and programs
with funds apportioned under section 471 14 in that fiscal year in determining whether or not such 34 percent requirement is
being met in that fiscal year."
2000 Amendments. Subsec. (e)(1)(A). Pub.L. 106-181. ~ 104(e). struck out "31 percent" and inserted" 34 percent".

49 U.S.C.A. S 47117
"(1) Discretionary use of apportionments.--(l) Subject to paragraph (2) of this subsection, if the Secretary finds, based on
the notices the Secretary receives under section 47105(1) of this title or otherwise, that an amount apportioned under section
47114 of this title will notbe used for grants during a fiscal year, the Secretary may use an equal amount for grants during
that fiscal year for any of the purposes for which amounts are authorized for grants under section 48103 of this title.
"(2) The Secretary may make a grant under paragraph (1) of this subsection only if the Secretary decides that--
"(A) the total amount used for grants for the fiscal year under section 48103 of this title will not be more than the amount

"(B) the amounts authorized for grants under section 48103 of this title for later fiscal years are sufficient for grants of the

by section 3(c)(2) of Pub.L. 105-102, and so required no change in text. See Codifications note set out under this section.
1998 Amendments. Pub.L. 105-277, ~ 110(a), repealed section 125 ofPub.L. 104-264, which had provided for termination
of other amendments by Pub.L. 104-264. See 1996 Amendments notes for other amendments by Pub.L. 104-264.

1996 Amendments. Pub.L. 104-264, ~ 125. repealed amendments by sections 123 and 124(d) ofPub.L. 104-264 to subsecs.
(b) and (e). Prior to the repeal of those amendments, subsecs. (b) and (e) read as follows:
"(b) Period of availability.--An amount apportioned under section 47114 of this title is available to be obligated for grants

Secretary under section 47118(a) of this title for grants for developing current and former military airports to improve the
capacity of the national air transportation system and to sponsors of noncommercial service airports for grants for
operational and maintenance expenses at any such airport if the amount of such grants to the sponsor of the airport does not

realignment of a military base, and if the sponsor of the airport certifies that the airport would otherwise close if the airport
