<br />facilities, including the airport, to support not only the airport but also the airport owner or operator's general debt
<br />obligations or other facilities, then this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by the airport (and, in the case
<br />of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall not apply.
<br />b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984, the sponsor will direct that the audit will
<br />review, and the resulting audit report will provide an opinion concerning, the use of airport revenue and taxes in
<br />paragraph (a), and indicating whether funds paid or transferred to the owner or operator are paid or transferred in a
<br />manner consistent with Title 49, United States Code and any other applicable provision oflaw, including any
<br />regulation promulgated by the Secretary or Administrator.

<br />

<br />a. submit to the Secretary such annual or special fmancial and operations reports as the Secretary may reasonably
<br />request and make such reports available to the public; make available to the public at reasonable times and places a
<br />report of the airport budget in a format prescribed by the Secretary;
<br />b. for airport development projects, make the airport and all airport records and documents affecting the airport,
<br />including deeds, leases, operation and use agreements, regulations and other instruments, available for inspection by
<br />any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable request;

<br />with other aircraft at all times without charge, except, if the use by Government aircraft is substantial, charge may be made for
<br />a reasonable share, proportional to such use, for the cost of operating and maintaining the facilities used. Unless otherwise
<br />detennined by the Secretary, or otherwise agreed to by the sponsor and the using agency, substantial use of an airport by

<br />b. The total number of movements (counting each landing as a movement) of Government aircraft is 300 or more, or

<br />multiplied by gross weights of such aircraft) is in excess of five million pounds.

<br />control or air navigation activities, or weather-reporting and communication activities related to air traffic control, any areas of

<br />construction, operation, and maintenance at Federal expense of space or facilities for such purposes. Such areas or any portion
<br />thereof will be made available as provided herein within four months after receipt of a written request from the Secretary.
<br />
<br />29. Airport Layout Pian.
<br />a. It will keep up to date at all times an airport layout plan of the airport showing (1) boundaries of the airport and all
<br />proposed additions thereto, together with the boundaries of all offsite areas owned or controlled by the sponsor for
<br />airport purposes and proposed additions thereto; (2) the location and nature of all existing and proposed airport
<br />facilities and structures (such as runways, taxiways, aprons, tenninal buildings, hangars and roads), including all

<br />nonaviation areas and of all existing improvements thereon. Such airport layout plans and each amendment,
<br />revision, or modification thereof; shall be subject to the approval of the Secretary which approval shall be evidenced
<br />by the signature of a duly authorized representative of the Secretary on the face of the airport layout plan. The
<br />sponsor will not make or pennit any changes or alterations in the airport or any of its facilities which are not in
<br />conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the Secretary and which might, in the opinion of the

<br />safety, utility, or efficiency of any federally owned, leased, or funded property on or off the airport and which is not

<br />the Secretary (1) eliminate such adverse effect in a manner approved by the Secretary; or (2) bear all costs of
<br />relocating such property (or replacement thereof) to a site acceptable to the Secretary and all costs of restoring such

<br />color, national origin, sex, age, or handicap be excluded from participating in any activity conducted with or benefiting from
<br />funds received from this grant. This assurance obligates the sponsor for the period during which Federal fmancial assistance is
<br />extended to the program, except where Federal fmancial assistance is to provide, or is in the form of personal property or real
