transportation of passengers or property; or for noise mitigation purposes
on or off the airport. The following exceptions apply to this paragraph:
1) If covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued before
September 3, 1982, by the owner or operator of the airport, or
provisions enacted before September 3, 1982, in governing statutes
controlling the owner or operator's financing, provide for the use of
the revenues from any of the airport owner or operator's facilities,
including the airport, to support not only the airport but also the
airport owner or operator's general debt obligations or other
facilities, then this limitation on the use of all revenues generated
by the airport (and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes on
aviation fuel) shall not apply.
2) If the Secretary approves the sale of a privately owned airport to a
public sponsor and provides funding for any portion of the public
sponsor’s acquisition of land, this limitation on the use of all
revenues generated by the sale shall not apply to certain proceeds
from the sale. This is conditioned on repayment to the Secretary

airport improvement grant made to the private owner for any
purpose other than land acquisition on or after October 1, 1996,
plus an amount equal to the federal share of the current fair market
value of any land acquired with an airport improvement grant
made to that airport on or after October 1, 1996.

production, lease, or other means at a general aviation airport (as

proportional to such use, for the cost of operating and maintaining the facilities
used. Unless otherwise determined by the Secretary, or otherwise agreed to by the
sponsor and the using agency, substantial use of an airport by Government aircraft
will be considered to exist when operations of such aircraft are in excess of those

31. _— Disposal of Land.
For land purchased under a grant for airport noise compatibility purposes,
including land serving as a noise buffer, it will dispose of the land, when
the land is no longer needed for such purposes, at fair market value, at the
earliest practicable time. That portion of the proceeds of such disposition
which is proportionate to the United States' share of acquisition of such
land will be, at the discretion of the Secretary, (1) reinvested in another
project at the airport, or (2) transferred to another eligible airport as
prescribed by the Secretary. The Secretary shall give preference to the
following, in descending order, (1) reinvestment in an approved noise
_ compatibility project, (2) reinvestment in an approved project that is
eligible for grant funding under Section 47117(e) of title 49 United States
Code, (3) reinvestment in an approved airport development project that is
eligible for grant funding under Sections 47114, 47115, or 47117 of title
49 United States Code, (4) transferred to an eligible sponsor of another
public airport to be reinvested in an approved noise compatibility project
at that airport, and (5) paid to the Secretary for deposit in the Airport and
Airway Trust Fund. If land acquired under a grant for noise compatibility
purposes is leased at fair market value and consistent with noise buffering
purposes, the lease will not be considered a disposal of the land.
Revenues derived from such a lease may be used for an approved airport
development project that would otherwise be eligible for grant funding or
any permitted use of airport revenue.
b. For land purchased under a grant for airport development purposes (other
than noise compatibility), it will, when the land is no longer needed for
