It <br /> I.. <br /> the : ' o . <br /> " e standards in this submart apply to the effect of con- <br /> struction or alteration proposals upon an airport if, at <br /> the ti ma of filing notice • • . (1) (the airport is) avail- <br /> able for public Use and is listed in the Airport <br /> . . _ .. __ •• • ..., <br /> After reviewing these regulations, it is my .opinion <br /> ! <br /> 1. The, requirements for amproach zone control and owner- <br /> ' ship are mandatory only , for airports receiving federal <br /> aid ZU.nds. . <br /> . . _ , <br /> 2. Even for airports for which compliance is mandatory, <br /> the recuirements extend only to the outer end of the <br /> clear !zon as defined in 152. 9 (b) . <br /> ! - <br /> -......_ <br /> 3. The requirement for reporting and review is amplicable I= <br /> only on new construction or substantial alteration, <br /> at the! time of the construction. <br /> In conclusion!, it ammears that if Midway Airport were a fede,-al <br /> aid airport, it would be recuired by statute to concern itself <br /> only with obstructions in the clear zone . It would, therefore, <br /> seem appropriate for Orange County to only require Midway Airport <br /> to have suffiCient land interest in the areas defined as <br /> zone" . <br /> • <br /> If I may be of farther assistance , please let me know. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> _ . <br /> a (- I <br /> A <br /> t..t. 4.• C..
