SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HTO is a general aviation airport in the
National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). The Town of East
Hampton has owned and operated HTO for several decades. HTO previously
received federal grants-in-aid for airport development and was subject
to statutory grant assurances, but the Town is no longer contractually
obligated to continue operating HTO as a public use airport. On January
20, 2022, and amended on February 17, 2020, the Town of East Hampton
notified the FAA that it seeks to deactivate HTO on May 17, 2022 as a
public-use airport and activate a new private-use airport, at the same
location, on May 19, 2022. Section 46319 of title 49 of the United
States Code (49 U.S.C. 46319) provides that a public agency (as defined
in 49 U.S.C. 47102) may not permanently close an airport in the NPIAS
without providing written notice to the FAA Administrator at least 30
days before the date of the closure. In this case, the public-use
airport will be closed. The FAA recognizes the correspondence received
on January 20, 2022 from the Town of East Hampton, followed by the
amended request on February 17, 2022, meets that requirement. The FAA
is publishing the Town of East Hampton's notice to close the public-use
of HTO in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 46319(b).
Issued in Jamaica, New York on April 11, 2022.
David A. Fish,
Director, Eastern Region Airports Division.
