PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE APPLICATION NO. 2
NEWPORT NEWS/WILLIAMSBURG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Pursuant to 14 CFR 158.24, the Peninsula Airport Commission (“PAC”) owner and operator of the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (“Airport”), hereby provides public notice of its intent to amend an existing Passenger Facility Charge (“PFC”) Application (“Amendment No.1 to PFC Application No. 2”) approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) in its Final Agency Decision dated December 21, 2011 pursuant to 14 CFR 158.37(b).

In Amendment No. 2 to PFC Application No 2, the PAC is seeking approval to amend the PFC Impose and Use approval amount of one project. The PAC intends to increase the Impose and Use authority from $15,866,709 to $20,114,239. Although the PAC is increasing the overall impose and use authority for Amendment No. 2 to PFC Application No. 2, the increase is associated with one project, PWE 2.19 FIS Finish, which is being funded with a combination of State grant funds, Airport cash and PFC’s. The PFC’s being collected to fund this project is now estimated to increase from $1,050,000 to $5,297,530, an increase of $4,247,530. The PAC estimates using $20,114,239 in PFC revenue to pay for or reimburse PFC eligible costs of the PWE’s in PAC’s Amendment No. 2 to PFC Application No. 2.

The PAC proposes to impose a $4.50 PFC per revenue enplaned passenger to pay the PFC eligible costs of the PWE’s included in this Amendment No. 2 to PFC Application No. 2.

The proposed Charge Effective Date for Amendment No. 2 to PFC Application No. 2 is July 1, 2010 and the estimated Charge Expiration Date is March 1, 2025.

This Public Notice is effective September 25, 2013. Public comments, if any, are required to be submitted to the Airport no later than October 30, 2013.

More detailed project information is available concerning the proposed PFC and the Airport improvements by writing to the Executive Director, Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport, 900 Bland Boulevard, Suite G, Newport News, Virginia, 23602-4319.

Project Description: This is the construction phase of the new consolidate security checkpoint that will serve both Concourse A and Concourse B gates. The project will result in the need for a building expansion to accommodate four security checkpoint lanes meeting the most recent TSA concept of operations including AIT and AT2 deployment. The layout will also provide for the future flexibility of adding one additional lane to be used for either future changes to TSA’s concept of operations or for the ability to meet higher demand levels. Initial planning was conducted as part of the Master Plan Update suggested that the consolidated checkpoint should be located at the existing restaurant location.

Design for the SSCP project has been completed using the Construction Manager at Risk project delivery method. The airport has negotiated at Guaranteed Maximum Price to construct the project by the CMR. The scope of the project retains four SSCP lanes with expansion capability to five lanes also includes necessary mechanical upgrades to critical building systems that have reached the end of their useful life. This includes two new chillers with sufficient capacity to correct cooling deficiencies in the terminal building, new boilers and necessary cooling tower modifications.

Significant Contribution (Medium & Large Airports Only $4.00 or $4.50 PFC level):

N/A

Project Objective: This PWE is eligible pursuant to 49 CFR Part 158.15(a)(1) and will enhance capacity at the Airport and for the national air transportation system. The new checkpoint will allow passengers to be processed more efficiently speeding up the processing time.

Project Justification: Currently Concourse A and Concourse B are served by separate dedicated security screening checkpoints which increase operation costs for all Airport tenants as well as reducing the efficiency of TSA agents due to the need to man multiple checkpoints during terminal operational hours. This project has support from local TSA AFSD and FSD and the AFSD has been personally involved.
