The law today
(a) Existence and Amounts in Fund.— The Secretary of Transportation has a discretionary fund. The fund consists of— (1) amounts subject to apportionment for a fiscal year that are not apportioned under section 47114(c)–(e) of this title; and (2) 12.5 percent of amounts not apportioned under section 47114 of this title because of section 47114(f). (b) Availability of Amounts.— Subject to subsection (c) of this section and section 47117(e) of this title, the fund is available for making grants for any purpose for which amounts are made available under section 48103 of this title that the Secretary considers most appropriate to carry out this subchapter. (c) Minimum Percentage for Primary and Reliever Airports.— At least 75 percent of the amount in the fund and distributed by the Secretary in a fiscal year shall be used for making grants— (1) to preserve and enhance capacity, safety, and security at primary and reliever airports; and (2) to carry out airport noise compatibility planning and programs at primary and reliever airports. (d) Considerations.— (1) For capacity enhancement projects.— In selecting a project for a grant to preserve and improve capacity funded in whole or in part from the fund, the Secretary shall consider— (A) the effect that the project will have on overall national transportation system capacity; (B) the benefit and cost of the project, including, in the case of a project at a reliever airport, the number of operations projected to be diverted from a primary airport to the reliever airport as a result of the project, as well as the cost savings projected to be realized by users of the local airport system; (C) the financial commitment from non-United States Government sources to preserve or improve airport capacity; (D) the airport improvement priorities of the States to the extent such priorities are not in conflict with subparagraphs (A) and (B); (E) the projected growth in the number of passengers or aircraft that will be using the airport at which the project will be carried out; and (F) the ability of the project to foster United States competitiveness in securing global air cargo activity at a United States airport. (2) For all projects.— In selecting a project for a grant under this section, the Secretary shall consider among other factors whether— (A) funding has been provided for all other projects qualifying for funding during the fiscal year under this chapter that have attained a higher score under the numerical priority system employed by the Secretary in administering the fund; and (B) the sponsor will be able to commence the work identified in the project application in the fiscal year in which the grant is made or within 6 months after the grant is made, whichever is later. (e) Waiving Percentage Requirement.— If the Secretary decides the Secretary cannot comply with the percentage requirement of subsection (c) of this section in a fiscal year because there are insufficient qualified grant applications to meet that percentage, the amount the Secretary determines will not be distributed as required by subsection (c) is available for obligation during the fiscal year without regard to the requirement. (f) Consideration of Diversion of Revenues in Awarding Discretionary Grants.— (1) General rule.— Subject to paragraph (2), in deciding whether or not to distribute funds to an airport from the discretionary funds established by subsection (a) of this section and section 47116 of this title, the Secretary shall consider as a factor militating against the distribution of such funds to the airport the fact that the airport is using revenues generated by the airport or by local taxes on aviation fuel for purposes other than capital or operating costs of the airport or the local airports system or other local facilities which are owned or operated by the owner or operator of the airport and directly and substantially related to the actual air transportation of passengers or property.

(d) Guidelines.— The Secretary shall establish guidelines to administer this section in accordance with the purposes and conditions described in this section. The Secretary may require a State or unit of local government to which a grant may be made under this section to provide progress reports and other information as the Secretary determines to be necessary to carry out this section. (e) Eligible Projects.— The Secretary may approve a grant under this section to a State or unit of local government for a project resulting from a land use compatibility plan only if the Secretary is satisfied that the project is consistent with the guidelines established by the Secretary under this section, the State or unit of local government has provided the assurances required by this section, the State or unit of local government has implemented (or has made provision to implement) those elements of the plan that are not eligible for Federal financial assistance, and that the project is not inconsistent with applicable Federal Aviation Administration standards.

The law today
(a) Applications.— (1) A person may apply to the Secretary of Transportation for a license or transfer of a license under this chapter in the form and way the Secretary prescribes.

(b) Requirements.— (1) Except as provided in this subsection, all requirements of the laws of the United States applicable to the launch of a launch vehicle or the operation of a launch site or a reentry site, or the reentry of a reentry vehicle, are requirements for a license or permit under this chapter.
