The Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that establishes procedures for reimbursing general aviation operators at five Washington, D.C., 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 Sept. 11, 2001,” the NPRM states.
The airports include Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, College Park Airport, Potomac Airfield, Washington Executive/Hyde Field, and Washington South Capitol Street Heliport. The proposed rule would establish the eligibility requirements and application procedures for those who may qualify for assistance. Comments on the proposal must be received by Nov. 3.
