GAO noted that: (1) several airports participating in MAP did not meet the congressionally established program goals and used their funds for projects that could have been funded through other FAA grants; (2) FAA has tightened eligibility criteria and required all airports participating in MAP to submit plans for conversion- and capacity-related projects specific to MAP; (3) the conditions for the reliever airport set-aside no longer exist, since there has been a decrease in general aviation traffic, access to general aviation facilities is adequate, and reliever airports lack the facilities to accommodate larger general aviation traffic; and (4) FAA has agreed to reexamine the criteria for designating reliever airports, but has not yet issued a report or alternative selection criteria. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-94/html/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-94.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-94/pdf/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-94.pdf GAO/T-RCED-96-94 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-94 Testimony GAO/T-RCED-96-94; Airport Improvement Program: Military Airport Program and Reliever Set-Aside Update; Airports Federal aid for transportation Commercial aviation Military facilities Discretionary grants Urban transportation operations Eligibility criteria Set-asides Defense conversion FAA Military Airport Program FAA Airport Improvement Program Public Law 104-50
