terminal addition, Second level roadway, East terminal expansion,
Demolish lease buildings, USAir, Replace airport fire station.
Brief Description of Disapproved Projects: Expand west terminal.
Determination: Disapproved. The Port, in its response to carriers'
disagreements on this project, makes several statements which raise
concerns about the justification and feasibility of this project.
Specifically, the Port states that ``the addition of gates on the NTC
[Naval Training Center] side of the concourse * * * would only be
pursued based on the needs of the airlines and if the NTC land is made
available.'' The carriers had also questioned whether there was
sufficient airfield capacity to accommodate the additional traffic
which would use these additional gates. The Port responded by stating
that ``airfield capacity simulation modeling will be pursued in the
planning of the project * * *.'' The FAA has concluded that the Port's
request for collection authority for this project is premature because
of the Port's stated uncertainties and disapproved the project.
Construct NTC apron.
Determination: Disapproved. The project justification provided by
the Port for this project states that the apron project is necessary to
support the west terminal expansion project, which was also
disapproved. This project is not justified as a stand-alone project.
Therefore, this project is being disapproved at this time.
Modify NTC roadways.
Determination: Disapproved. The project justification provided by
the Port for this project states that the roadways are necessary to
support the west terminal expansion project, which was also
disapproved. This project is not justified as a stand-alone project.
Therefore, this project is being disapproved at this time.

[[Page 41148]]
Estimated Charge Expiration Date: January 1, 2001 (at each
airport).
Class of Air Carriers not Required to Collect PFC'S: Part 298 Air
taxis, with the exception of commuter air carriers.
Determination: Approved. Based on information submitted in the
public agency's applications, the FAA has determined that the proposed
class accounts for less than 1 percent of the total annual enplanements
at each airport. Although the Port Authority proposed the same class at
each airport, the members of the class are different at each airport.
Carriers should review the specific application or consult with the
Port Authority to determine if they are members of the class excluded
from PFC collection at either EWR, JFK, or LGA.
Brief Description of Project Approved for Use of PFC Revenue: EWR
monorail.
Brief Description of Project Approved for Collection and use: EWR
landside access project--phase 1A.

access monorail-Northeast Corridor connection, Automated guideway
transit (AGT) system--Howard Beach component.
Brief Description of Disapproved Project: AGT system--LGA on-
airport component.
Determination: Disapproved. The Port Authority's justification for
this project is entirely dependent on the construction of the entire
AGT system. Completion of the entire system appears to be uncertain at
this time. The Port Authority has not provided information showing that
this project has independent utility as a separate on-airport system.
Therefore, the FAA has determined that the LGA on-airport component
does not meet the requirements of Sec. 158.15(a) or (b), nor has the
Port Authority provided adequate justification for the project as a
stand-alone project as currently proposed.
Decision Date: July 31, 1995.
