EAGLE COUNTY
PFC ASSURANCES CERTIFICATION STATEMENT
The undersigned Commissioner of the Eagle County Regional Airport, Eagle, Colorado, assures
and certifies, with respect to the PFC application and projects including each individual project
work element submitted in its application to impose a PFC at EGE Airport:
1) Responsibility and authority of the public agency. It has legal authority to impose a PFC
and to finance and carry out the proposed projects. A resolution, motion or similar action
has been duly adopted or passed as an official act of Eagle County authorizing the
application, including all understandings and assurances contained therein, and directing and
authorizing the person or persons holding the position of Commissioner as the official
representative of the public agency to act in connection with the application.
2) Compliance with regulation. It will comply with all legal provisions of 14 CAR Part 158
not inconsistent with the provisions of the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (enacted
November 5, 1990) and the authority of the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations
implementing Section 9110 of the Act.
3) Compliance with state and local laws and regulations. It has complied, or will comply,
with all applicable state and local laws and regulations.
4) Environmental, airspace and airport layout plan (ALP) requirements. It will not use PFC
revenue on a project until the FAA has notified the public agency that:
a) Any actions required under the National Environmental Policy act of 1969 have
been completed;
b) The appropriate airspace finding required by FAA regulations has been made; and
c) The FAA Airport Layout Plan (ALP) with respect to the project or project work
element has been approved to the extent such approval authority of the FAA is
required by regulations of the FAA for such project or an individual project work
element, and the regulation or related guidelines requiring ALP approval is available
to the public agency at the time of submission of a PFC application for approval to
use PFC revenues.
5) Nonexclusivity of contractual agreements. It will not enter into an exclusive long term lease
or use agreement with an air carrier or foreign air carrier for the use of projects funded with
PFC revenue. Such lease or use agreements will not preclude the public agency from
funding or developing new capacity at the airport using PFC and other sources of airport
revenues or funds, and reserving and assigning such new capacity for the use of new entry
carriers or expanding, competitive carriers.
6) Carryover provisions. It will not enter into any lease or use agreement with an air carrier
or foreign air carrier for the use of any airport facilities financed in whole or in part with
revenue derived from a PFC if such agreement for such facility contains a carryover
provision regarding a renewal option which, upon expiration of the original lease, would
operate to automatically extend the term of such agreement with such carrier in preference
over any potentially competing air carrier or foreign air carrier seeking to negotiate a lease
or use agreement for such facilities.
7) Competitive access. It agrees that any lease or use agreements between the public agency
and any air carrier or foreign air carrier for any facility financed in whole or in part with
revenue derived from a PFC will contain a provision that permits a public agency to
terminate the lease or agreement if -
a) The air carrier or foreign air carrier has an exclusive lease or use agreement for
existing facilities at such airport; and
b) Any portion of its existing exclusive use facilities is not fully utilized and is not
made available for use by potential competing air carriers or foreign air carriers at
compensatory rtes not exceeding the rates paid for such similar facilities to the
public agency.
8) Rates, fees and charges.
a) It will not treat PFC revenue as airport revenue for the purpose of establishing a
rate, fee or charge pursuant to a contract with an air carrier or foreign air carrier.
b) It will not include in its rate base by means of depreciation, amortization or any
other method, that portion of the capital costs of a project paid for by PFC revenue
for the purpose of establishing a rate, fee or charge pursuant to a contract with an
air carrier or foreign air carrier.
C) Notwithstanding the limitation provided in subparagraph (b), with respect to a
project for terminal development, gates and related area, or a facility occupied or
used by one or more air carriers or foreign air carriers on an exclusive or
preferential basis, the rates, fees and charges payable by such carriers that use such
facilities will be no less than the rates, fees, and charges paid by such carriers using
similar facilities at the airport that were not financed by PFC revenue.
9) Standards and specifications. It will carry out the project in accordance with FAA airport
design, construction and equipment standards and specifications contained in advisory
circulars current on the date of project approval with the understanding that such standards
are minimum standards of compliance.
10) Record keeping and audit. It will maintain and accounting record for audit purposes for a
period of 3 years after completion of the project. All records will satisfy the requirements
of 14 CFR Part 158 and will contain documentary evidence for all items of project costs.
11) Reports. It will submit reports in accordance with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 158,
Subpart D, and as the Administrator may reasonably request.
12) Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990. I understand that sections 9304 and 9307 of the
Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 require the authority to impose a PFC be
terminated if the Administrator determines the public agency has failed to comply with that
act or with the implementing regulations promulgated thereunder.
