and Capacity Expansion Act of 1990 (Title IX of the Omnibus Budget 
Reconciliation Act of 1990) (Pub. L.101-508) and Part 158 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 158). This notice is 
published pursuant to paragraph d of Sec.  158.29.

Mississippi.

    Brief Description Of Projects Partially Approved For Collection And 
Use: Standby power engineering and construction.
    Determination: Partially approved. The FAA determined that this 
project was only 67 percent eligible based on a pro-ration of the 
eligible versus ineligible areas served by the standby power system. In 
addition, the FAA determined that two other project components were not 
eligible for PFC funding.
    Rehabilitation of aircraft aprons.
    Determination: Partially approved. The PFC amount was reduced from 
that requested because, after the PFC application had been submitted, 
the public agency received additional, unplanned AIP funds to pay an 
additional portion of the project.
    Rehabilitation of runway 16R/34L--engineering services.
    Determination: Partially approved. The Project originally requested 
both engineering services and construction. However, the FAA found that 
the construction component of the project was not sufficiently 
described and so, did not approve that component.
    Rehabilitation of taxiways A, B and C--engineering services.
    Determination: Partially approved. The Project originally requested 
both engineering services and construction. However, the FAA found that 
the construction component of the project was not sufficiently 
described and so, did not approve that component.
    Decision Date: September 2, 2014.

provided an updated cost estimate after submission of the application 
which showed reduced project costs; (2) the FAA determined that the 
project was only 44 percent, and not the 100 percent requested, 
eligible for PFC funding; and (3) the public agency modified its 
financing plan for this project after the air carrier consultation and 
public notice processes were complete but did not undertake new air 
carrier consultation and public notice processes.
    Decision Date: September 4, 2014.
