designation, or continued participation, in the fiscal year 1996 
Military Airport Program to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
Regional Airports Division or Airports District Office that serves the 
airport. Applications must be received by that office of the FAA by 
March 29, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Send an original and two copies of Standard Form 424, 
``Application for Federal Assistance,'' and supporting and justifying 
documentation, specifically requesting to be considered for designation 
to participate, or continue, in the fiscal year 1996 Military Airport 
Program, to the Regional FAA Airports Division or Airports District 
Office that serves the airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice extends the dates of the

``Notice of Opportunity to Participate, Criteria Requirements and 
Change of Application Procedures for Participation in the Fiscal Year 
1996 Military Airport Program.'' This notice announces extension of the 
date for submissions of applications and of the date by which the 
airport sponsor must possess title, a long-term lease, or joint use 
agreement for the property on which the civilian airport is located.

Application Procedures

    The Dates section of 60 FR 54560, October 24, 1995, is revised to 
provide that applications must be submitted to the airports district 
office or the airports division that serves the airport applying for 
the program by March 29, 1996.

Information To Be Contained in Application, New Airports

    Section (4) of the qualifications for new airports (60 FR 54561, 
October 24, 1995) is modified as follows: In the case of a former 
military airport, documentation that the local or State airport sponsor 
holds satisfactory title, or a long term lease for 20 years or more, to 
the property on which the civilian airport is being located. In the 
case of a current military airport, documentation that the airport 
sponsor has an existing joint-use agreement with the military 
department having jurisdiction over the airport. (The title transfer, 
lease, or joint use agreement must be effective on or before May 31, 
1996. This is necessary so the airport sponsor qualifies as an eligible 
sponsor to receive grants of Federal financial assistance under the 
Airport Improvement Program.)

Director, Office of Airport Planning and Programming.
