The bill would let smaller, nonprimary airports use their state's highway construction standards for runway and taxiway pavement instead of federal airport design standards. This option applies only to airports serving aircraft weighing 60,000 pounds or less, and only after the state notifies the federal government and the Secretary of Transportation confirms it won't cause safety problems.
State transportation departments, local airport authorities, and construction contractors working on smaller regional and community airports.
Using more familiar state highway specifications could simplify pavement projects at small airports, though actual effects depend on how states and the FAA implement the change.
