BY THE U.S, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE,

Report To The Secretary Of Transportation i I'    81


Misuse Of Airport Land Acquired

Through Federal Assistance


The law specifies that State and local govern-
ments acquiring land through Federal grants
and donations for airport use must agree to
develop it for that purpose only. GAO found
many cases where this was not being done. The
land was being used for private residences,
parks, commercial businesses, and golf courses.
The Federal Aviation Administration is lax in
protecting Federal interests in the land.

The Secretary of Transportation should require
FAA to more effectively monitor and enforce
the proper use of land acquired through Fed-
eral assistance. Where proper use is not obtain-
ed, the property should be reclaimed, the Gov-
ernment should be reimbursed, or reinvest-
ment should be ensured.
