RELATING TO FEDERAL AID
                   Act of May 2, 1947, P.L. 136, No. 56               Cl. 53
                                  AN ACT

     Relating to Federal aid to political subdivision or municipality
        authority for the development of public airports.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  No political subdivision or municipality
     authority, whether acting alone or jointly with another
     political subdivision or municipality authority, or with the
     Commonwealth, shall submit to any Federal agency or department
     of the United States any project application under the
     provisions of any Act of Congress which provides airport
     planning funds, or airport construction and development funds
     for the expansion and improvement of the airport system, unless
     the project and the project application have been first approved
     by the Department of Transportation. No political subdivision or
     municipality authority shall, except as hereinafter provided,
     directly accept, receive, receipt for, or disburse any funds
     granted by the United States under such act, but it shall
     designate the Department of Transportation, as its agent and in
     its behalf to accept, receive, receipt for, and disburse such
     funds; if the Department of Transportation shall have first
     approved the project, the political subdivision or municipal
     authority may directly accept, receive, receipt for or disburse
     such project moneys. It shall enter into an agreement with the
     Department of Transportation, prescribing the terms and
     conditions of such agency, in accordance with Federal laws,
     rules and regulations, and applicable laws of this Commonwealth.
     Such moneys as are paid over by the United States Government
     shall be received by the Commonwealth and immediately paid over
     to the political subdivision or municipality authority for
     application to the designated project under such terms and
     conditions as may be imposed by the United States Government in
     making such grants.
        (1 amended July 10, 1975, P.L.39, No.21)
        Section 2.  The provisions of this act shall become effective
     immediately upon final enactment.
