Procedures for  Reimbursement of General Aviation Operators and 
Service Providers in the  Washington, DC Area

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION:  Notice of proposed  rulemaking.

----------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY:  On November 30, 2005, President Bush signed into law the 
Transportation,  Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the 
Judiciary, the District of  Columbia, and Independent Agencies 
Appropriation Act, 2006 (Pub.L. 109-115,  119 Stat. 2396, hereafter 
the Act, or the 2006 Appropriation Act). Section  185 of the Act 
authorized the Department of Transportation to provide  reimbursement 
to fixed-based general aviation operators and providers of  general 
aviation ground support services at five metropolitan Washington, DC  
area airports, for the direct and incremental financial losses they  
incurred while the airports were closed due to Federal Government  
actions taken after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The  
airports are: Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport; College Park  
Airport in College Park, Maryland; Potomac Airfield in Fort 
Washington,  Maryland; Washington Executive/Hyde Field in Clinton, 
Maryland; and  Washington South Capitol Street Heliport in Washington, 
DC. A total of up to  $17,000,000 was appropriated for this purpose. 
This proposed rule would  establish the eligibility requirements and 
application procedures for those  who may qualify for assistance under 
this statute.

DATES: Comments  should be received by November 3, 2006.
