Determination: Partially approved. Explosive trace detection
equipment has already been deployed to each checkpoint in sufficient
number to meet current FAA regulations and operating procedures.
Therefore, the explosive trace detection equipment element of this
project is not approved.
Wetlands relocation.
Determination: Partially approved. The environmental assessment in
support of this project included only the detailed analysis for filling
6.3 acres of wetlands in a portion of the runway protection zone and
for remediating 24.08 acres of wetlands located in the southwest
portion of ORD. The remaining wetlands have not been environmentally
evaluated and thus the public agency cannot meet the requirement of
Sec. 158.25(c)(1)(ii)(B) for the remaining wetlands and that portion of
the project is not approved.
Brief Description of Project Approved for Collection at ORD and Use
at Chicago Midway Airport at a $4.50 PFC Level:

Terminal 1/Terminal 2 connection expansion.
Concourse L extension.
Runway 18/36 rehabilitation.
Brief Description of Project Approved in Part For Collection at ORD
for Future Use at ORD at a $4.50 PFC Level:
Airport Transit System (ATS) maintenance relocation.
Determination: Partially approved. This project meets the nominal
requirements for AIP eligibility and, therefore, PFC eligibility under
paragraph 594(a) of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook (October 24, 1989)
which provides for the relocation of a facility that impedes eligible
development. However, maintenance facilities are eligible only in so
far as they provide maintenance for eligible safety and security
equipment per paragraph 567(e)(1) of FAA Order 5100.38A. Therefore, the
use of PFC revenue is limited to the cost to replace a like facility.
Any expansion or upgrade would not be PFC eligible.
Brief Description of Projects Approved For Collection at ORD and
Use at ORD at a $3.00 PFC Level:
Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Terminal 3 facade and circulation enhancement
improvements.

Brief Description of Projects Approved in Part for Collection at
ORD and Use at ORD at a $3.00 PFC Level:
Snow/security/fire miscellaneous equipment.
Determination: partially approved. This project included 11
components of which four were determined to be ineligible for AIP and,
therefor, PFC funding. The four disapproved components and the reason
for each disapproval are: Four pickup truck small salters (these units
are not used on runways, taxiways, aprons, or gate areas as required in
order to be eligible under AIP criteria); one fire step van (this unit
is not required by Part 139 to meet ARFF requirements); three ambulance
trucks (these units are not required by Part 139 to meet ARFF
requirements); and two portable stairway trucks (these units are not
required by Part 139 to meet ARFF requirements).
Oil separators 1, 2, and 3 rehabilitation.
Determination: Partially approved. Any general maintenance, such as
the repair to lake erosion, is not AIP eligible and, therefore, is not
PFC eligible.
Concession area public space buildout.
Determination: Partially approved. The FAA has determined that a
portion of this project is for the benefit of the food court and other
revenue producing vendors. Therefore, even though the public agency
identifies these areas as public seating and for public use, the FAA
has concluded that the seating areas proposed for the E/F apex, H/K
apex, and Rotunda are not AIP or PFC eligible. However, in addition to
the seating areas, the public agency proposes circulation improvements
intended to improve the efficiency of passenger movements between and
among terminals and concourses as well as provide access to restroom
facilities. The public agency estimates that the circulation portion of
the project has been reduced by the final design of the various areas
to the point that the PFC portion of the project is approximately 32
percent of the total. Furthermore, the FAA's analysis concluded that
the Concourse B food court does not provide additional public
circulation and is primarily for the benefit of the vendor area. Thus,
the Concourse B area is completely ineligible. In addition, since the
public agency listed the Concourse H and K food courts separately from
the H/K apek, the FAA assumes these are separate areas. However,
because the public agency did not provide any plans, sketches, or
additional information regarding these food courts, the FAA was unable
to determine if any portion of those areas was eligible. Therefore, PFC
funds cannot be used to fund any improvements in the H and K food
courts.
Airport maintenance complex addition.
[[Page 31968]]
Determination: Partially approved. This project is generally
eligible under AIP criteria, paragraphs 567(d) and 568 of FAA Order
5100.38A, AIP Handbook (October 24, 1989). However, to the extent a
building houses both eligible and ineligible equipment, the eligible
cost of the building and utilities for the building must be a prorated
share of the total project cost, under paragraph 568 of FAA Order
5100.38A.
Landside formulation.
Determination: Partially approved. Elements of work not
specifically identified in the public agency's PFC Attachment B's for
this project are not included in this approval. Furthermore, to the
element that any of the elements listed involve ineligible (off-
airport) work, the costs of planning, study, assessment, and design
attributable to the off-airport portion of the project is not PFC
eligible.
High temperature water piping: elimination of ball joints.
Determination: Partially approved. This project is generally
eligible under AIP criteria, paragraph 568 of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP
Handbook (October 24, 1989). However, to the extent the high
temperature water piping serves both eligible and ineligible buildings
and/or spaces, the eligible cost of utilities for the airport must be a
prorated share of the total project cost.
Brief Description of Projects Approved for Collection at ORD and
Use at Gary/Chicago Airport (GYY) at a $3.00 PFC Level:
Acquisition of a 1500-gallon ARFF vehicle.

Brief Description of Projects Approved in Part for Collection at
ORD for Future Use at ORD at a $3.00 PFC Level:
Concourse C upgrade.
Determination: Partially approved. Some elements of this project
may meet the nominal requirements for AIP eligibility, and therefore,
PFC eligibility under paragraph 551 of FAA order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook
(October 24, 1989). However, the FAA has determined that the public
agency did not provide sufficient description or justification
concerning the majority of the proposed elements to allow a
determination of nominal eligibility for those elements. The FAA was
able to conclude that the restroom work, insofar as this work is needed
to comply with ADA requirements, is eligible. The information provided
on the remaining tasks in this project did not allow the FAA to
conclude that the remainder of this project involved eligible
reconstruction/repair rather than ineligible maintenance work
(paragraph 501 of FAA Order 5100.38A).
Concourse B upgrade.
Determination: partially approved. Some elements of this project
may meet the nominal requirements for AIP eligibility, and, therefore,
PFC eligibility under paragraph 551 of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook
(October 24, 1989). However, the FAA has determined that the public
agency did not provide sufficient description or justification
concerning the majority of the proposed elements to allow a
determination of nominal eligibility for those elements. The FAA was
able to conclude that the restroom work, insofar as this work is needed
to comply with ADA requirements, in eligible. The information provided
on the remaining tasks in this project did not allow the FAA to
conclude that the remainder of this project involved eligible
reconstruction/repair rather than ineligible maintenance work
(paragraph 501 of FAA Order 5100.38A).
Concourse L upgrade.
Determination: Partially approved. Some elements of this project
may meet the nominal requirements for AIP eligibility, and therefore,
PFC eligibility under paragraph 551 of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook
(October 24, 1989). However, the FAA has determined that the public
agency did not provide sufficient description or justification
concerning the majority of the proposed elements to allow a
determination of nominal eligibility for those elements. The FAA was
able to conclude that the restroom work, insofar as this work is needed
to comply with ADA requirements, is eligible. The information provided
on the remaining tasks in this project did not allow the FAA to
conclude that the remainder of this project involved eligible
reconstruction/repair rather than ineligible maintenance work
(paragraph 501 of FAA Order 5100.38A).
Concourse K upgrade.
Determination: Partially approved. Some elements of this project
may meet the nominal requirements for AIP eligibility, and therefore,
PFC eligibility under paragraph 551 of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook
(October 24, 1989). However, the FAA has determined that the public
agency did not provide sufficient description or justification
concerning the majority of the proposed elements to allow a
determination of nominal eligibility for those elements. The FAA was
able to conclude that the restroom work, insofar as this work is needed
to comply with ADA requirements, is eligible. The information provided
on the remaining tasks in this project did not allow the FAA to
conclude that the remainder of this project involved eligible
reconstruction/repair rather than ineligible maintenance work
(paragraph 501 of FAA Order 5100.38A).
Concourse H upgrade.
Determination: Partially approved. Some elements of this project
may meet the nominal requirements for AIP eligibility, and therefore,
PFC eligibility under paragraph 551 of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook
(October 24, 1989). However, the FAA has determined that the public
agency did not provide sufficient description or justification
concerning the majority of the proposed elements to allow a
determination of nominal eligibility for those elements. The FAA was
able to conclude that the restroom work, insofar as this work is needed
to comply with ADA requirements, is eligible. The information provided
on the remaining tasks in this project did not allow the FAA to
conclude that the remainder of this project involved eligible
reconstruction/repair rather than ineligible maintenance work
(paragraph 501 of FAA Order 5100.38A).
New police facility.
Determination: Partially approved. The FAA has determined that not
all activities at the Police Facility support Part 107 functions. The
Federal Security Manager for ORD has determined that approximately 80
percent of the facility will support Part 107 activities and, thus,
this approval is limited to that 80 percent of the facility which is
eligible.
Brief Description of Withdrawn Project:
Airside perimeter road rehabilitation/construction
Determination: this project was withdrawn by the public agency by
[[Page 31969]]
letter dated January 4, 2001. Therefore, the FAA did not rule on this
project in this decision.
Brief Description of Disapproved Projects:
Automated vehicle identification--ground transportation.
Determination: Disapproved. The FAA has determined that this
project provides a system for controlling commercial vehicles (taxis
and limousines) and charging them for the Metropolitan Pier and
Exposition Authority commercial vehicle tax. The FAA has determined
that the collection of a local vehicle tax does not preserve or enhance
capacity, safety, or security, furnish opportunities for enhanced
competition between or among air carriers, or mitigate noise impacts
resulting from aircraft operations at ORD. Therefore, this project does
not meet the requirements of Sec. 158.15(a).
Perimeter intrusion detection system--phase II.
Determination: Disapproved. The FAA's Federal Security Manager for
ORD has reviewed the proposed project and has determined that the
existing 10-foot fence with outriggers and barbed wire, when combined
with periodic patrols, meets the requirements of part 107. Therefore,
this project is not required to meet part 107, does not meet the
requirements of Sec. 158.15(b)(1), and is not PFC eligible.
360 degree Silicon Graphics Incorporated based tower simulator.
Determination: Disapproved. Training programs for air traffic
controllers are not airport development as defined by AIP criteria. In
addition, the development of new flight patterns or procedures is not
AIP eligible. Therefore, this project does not meet the requirements of
Sec. 158.15(b)(1).
Zemke road extension.
Determination: Disapproved. The FAA has determined that the scope
of the project describes a roadway that will be utilized for access to
the soon-to-be-built United Airlines corporate headquarters building, a
non-aeronautical facility. As presently depicted, this road does not
exclusively serve airport traffic as is required by paragraph 553(a)(3)
of FAA Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook (October 24, 1989). therefore, this
project does not meet the requirements of Sec. 158.15(b)(1).

to proceed or start of physical construction for a proposed PFC project
occurred prior to November 5, 1990 (the date the PFC statute was
enacted), the project is not PFC eligible under Sec. 158.3. This is
because implementation of a construction project occurs when the notice
to proceed is issued or physical construction is begun, whichever is
first. The notice to proceed for this project was issued October 22,
1990. Therefore, this project is not eligible to receive PFC funding at
any PFC level.
