LCD-80-84 1 (1980-08-13)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabawr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 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. 113018 6 6 LCD-80-84 AUGUST 13, 1980
