the requirements of this section, for the owner or operator of a 
reliever airport to deny access to any person providing scheduled 
passenger air service if the airport is located within 25 miles of an 
airport designated as a hub airport in the National Airport Plan and if 
no scheduled passenger air service was provided at the reliever airport 
in January 1996.''.
