SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposes to rule and invites public 
comment on the application to use PFC revenue at Lewiston-Nez Perce 
County Airport, under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 40117 and part 158 of 
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 158). The City of 
Lewiston and County of Nez Perce has also requested that their previous 
application be amended. This amendment request will be addressed under 
Federal Aviation Regulation part 158.37(b)(1). On February 3, 1994, the 
FAA issued a Record of Decision approving the applicant's application 
for an Impose Only PFC in the amount of $229,610, with an effective 
date of May 1, 1994. Collection of the PFC charge commenced July 1, 
1994. The increased amount identified in the current application 
reflects action, by the City of Lewiston and County of Nez Perce, to 
identify a more accurate estimate of costs and necessary scope. This 
was accomplished through the development of a feasibility study.
    On January 24, 1995, the FAA determined that the application to use 
revenue from a PFC submitted by the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport 
was substantially complete within the requirements of Sec. 158.25 of 
part 158. The FAA will approve or disapprove the application, in whole 
or in part, no later than May 12, 1995.
    The following is a brief overview of the application.
    Level of the proposed PFC: $3.00.
    Proposed charge effective date: July 1, 1994.
    Proposed charge expiration date: July 1, 2003.
    Total estimated PFC revenues: $835,458.00.
    Brief description of proposed project: Terminal building expansion 
and remodel.
    Class or classes of air carriers which the public agency has 
requested not be required to collect PFC's: Charter carriers or air 
taxis which comprise less than 1% of total enplanements. More 
specifically, those operations by Air Taxi/Commercial Operators when 
enplaning revenue passengers in limited, irregular, special service air 
taxi/commercial operations such as air ambulance services, non-stop 
sightseeing flights that begin and end at the airport and are concluded

special service operations by such air taxi/commercial operators.
