            ``(4) Use of state highway specifications.--
                    ``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall use the 
                highway specifications of a State for airfield pavement 
                construction and improvement using funds made available 
                under this subsection or subsection (c)(1)(D) at 
                nonprimary airports serving aircraft that do not exceed 
                60,000 pounds gross weight if--
                            ``(i) such State provides notice to the 
                        Secretary that nonprimary airports in the State 
                        intend to use such highway specifications; and
                            ``(ii) the Secretary determines that such 
                        specifications will not negatively affect 
                        safety.
                    ``(B) Deadline.--The Secretary shall make a 
                determination described in subparagraph (A)(ii) not 
                later than 6 months after a State provides notice to 
                the Secretary under subparagraph (A)(i).
                    ``(C) Extension.--If the Secretary determines that 
                the time provided under subparagraph (B) is 
                insufficient to make a determination, the Secretary may 
                extend the determination period by 6 months, so long as 
                the Secretary--
                            ``(i) notifies the State that provided 
                        notice pursuant to subparagraph (A)(i) of the 
                        extension; and
                            ``(ii) provides justification for the 
                        extension to such State.
                    ``(D) Additional extensions.--The Secretary may 
                authorize additional extensions under subparagraph 
                (C).''.
