Page 2 of 5 Exhibit B to Administrative Order No. 58-22-27-F Topic: Non—Aeronautical Property Storage  Several commenters asked why the Eugene Airport is going beyond minimum standards based on federal policy, stating that there is no Grant Assurance liability with the current FAA document FAA rule 2016-14133: Policy on the Non-Aeronautical Use of Airport Hangars. Response: Subdivision II – Rules and Regulations, Section A, VIII. Non-Aeronautical Property Storage policy is a best practice recommendation from Landrum & Brown. There is Grant Assurance liability for Airport non-compliance as stated in 14 CFR, Chapter 1, FAA Policy on the Non- Aeronautical Use of Airport Hangars, Section V. No Right to Non-Aeronautical Use: In the context of enforcement of the Grant Assurances, this policy allows some incidental storage of non-aeronautical items in hangars that do not interfere with aeronautical use. However, the policy neither creates nor constitutes a right to store non-aeronautical items in hangars. Airport sponsors may restrict or prohibit storage of non-aeronautical items. Sponsors should consider factors such as emergency access, fire codes, security, insurance, and the impact of vehicular traffic on their surface areas when enacting rules regarding hangar storage. In some cases, permitting certain incidental non-aeronautical items in hangars could inhibit the sponsor’s ability to meet obligations associated with Grant Assurance 19, Operations and Maintenance. To avoid claims of discrimination, sponsors should impose consistent rules for incidental storage in all similar facilities at the airport. Sponsors should ensure that taxiways and runways are not used for the vehicular transport of such items to or from the hangars. No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of these comments. Topic: Ground Vehicles in the AOA  One commenter asked whether the Eugene Airport is prohibiting motorcycles from being used on the AOA, even motorcycles that are used as a transportation mode to access their hangar. Response: Subdivision II – Rules and Regulations, Section D, III. Ground Vehicles in the AOA, Movement Area and Safety Areas, (K) does not prohibit a licensed driver to operate a registered motorcycle on the AOA. “Recreational” is the key term, for example, motorcycles should not be used to drive around in the hangar areas or AOA other than for transportation to and from Lease Premises. No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of this comment. Topic: Aircraft Rentals  One commenter asked if the proposed SASO Minimum Standards for Aircraft Rental prevent a sole-aircraft commercial hangar tenant from renting out their aircraft. Response: The Subdivision III – Minimum Standards, VI. Aircraft Rental requirement for SASOs is a best practice recommendation by Landrum & Brown, but alternative agreements may be agreed to in writing by the Airport Director. No changes are being made to the Rules and Standards as a result of this comment.
