Bill Summary

Small Airport Regulation Relief Act of 2015 Prescribes a special rule to require the Secretary of Transportation for FY2015 and FY2016 to apportion amounts for airport planning and development and noise compatibility planning and programs to sponsors of primary airports based on the number of passenger boardings at the airport during calendar year 2012 if it had: (1) fewer than 10,000 passenger boardings during the calendar year used to calculate the apportionment for FY2015 or FY2016, and (2) 10,000 or more passenger boardings during calendar year 2012.

AI Summary

This bill, the Small Airport Regulation Relief Act of 2015, amends the Airport Improvement Program to provide a special rule for how funds are distributed to airports for fiscal years 2015 and 2016. Specifically, it directs the Secretary of Transportation to calculate funding for eligible airports, known as "sponsors of primary airports," based on their passenger boarding numbers from calendar year 2012, rather than the most recent year. This applies to airports that had fewer than 10,000 passenger boardings in the most recent calculation year but had 10,000 or more passenger boardings in 2012, aiming to offer relief to smaller airports that experienced a recent dip in passenger traffic.
