The authority to impose a PFC is contingent on your continued compliance with the terms of 49 U.S.0 40117, 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 158 and any conditions included in this letter. Your notice of intent, submitted on May 26, 2021, has been assigned the following PFC Application Number: 21-20-C-00-YKM. The FAA does not have any particular objections to your notice of intent or proposed projects. Therefore, the FAA acknowledges that you will begin collecting a PFC at a $4.50 PFC level on August 1, 2021 and complete your collections on December 1, 2027. Furthermore, the FAA acknowledges that you will collect a total of $861,200 in PFC revenue to for the following projects: Project Title !Design, Engineer, and Construct SRE Building.

We request that you notify the carriers in this excluded class, which were listed in your notice of intent, of their exemption. All public agencies collecting PFC's are subject to reporting, record keeping, and auditing requirements as described in 14 CFR Part 158, Subpart D (14 CFR section 158.61 et. seq.). Specifically, you are reminded that, pursuant to 158.67(c), at least annually during the period the PFC is collected, held or used, each public agency shall provide for an audit of its PFC account. After completion of your audit, please provide the ADO a copy of the audit. Also be advised, that the ability to collect on PFC Application Number 21-20-C-00-YKM is governed by either the charge -expiration date, noted above, or when full collection authority (PFC collections plus interest) is reached - whichever comes first. Therefore, it is important to monitor your rate of collection and adjust your charge expiration date as necessary. Also, you are responsible for coordinating any construction with the appropriate federal offices as you would with any non -federally funded construction. Be advised, 14 CFR section 158.33(a)(1) requires you to implement your concurrent impose and use project that the FAA has not objected to within the 2 years of this date. 14 CFR section 158.33(a)(1) requires the public agency to begin implementation of a project no later than 2 years after receiving clearance to use PFC revenue on that project.
