*Notice of proposed administrative rule and opportunity to comment*

The director of King County’s Department of Executive Services (DES), acting under the authority of King County Code sections 2.98 and 15.12.010, proposes adopting a rule concerning the establishment of Supplemental Rules and Regulations providing standards for facility maintenance and storage and access, badging, and escorting for commercial aeronautical activities at King County International Airport-Boeing Field (KCIA). 

In accordance with the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of l982, 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) § 47101, "et seq., "and the Airport Improvement Program Sponsor Assurances, the owner or operator of any airport that has been developed or improved with federal grant assistance or conveyances of federal property assistance is required to operate the airport for the use and benefit of the public and to make it available for all types, kinds, and classes of aeronautical activity. The Surplus Property Act of l944 (as amended by 49 U.S.C., §§ 47151-47153) contains a parallel obligation under its terms for the conveyance of federal property for airport purposes (collectively, the “Federal Obligations”).

The Federal Obligations require the owner or operator of an airport to make its facilities available for public use for aeronautical activities. The business terms imposed on those who use KCIA and its services must be reasonable and applied without unjust discrimination to any licensee or lessee who has been granted a right by the airport owner or operator to offer services normally offered to aeronautical users of the airport. Key updates to meet current Federal Obligations include changes to:


* Policy statement and authority
* Self-service and prohibited activities
* Variance and rejection policy
* Facility maintenance and storage
* Aircraft maintenance in hangars
* Non-commercial flying club
* Access, badging, and escorting

_Draft Supplemental Rules and Regulations Availability:_ The Draft Supplemental Rules and Regulations will be available for public review and comment beginning on October 9, 2024.

S., Suite 200, Seattle, WA 98108.
