Texas 76193-0000 This is in response to your letter of September 4, 1991 requesting our review of your revised FBO Standards. Since this document has been revised pursuant to previous comments on the draft standards, no additional review is considered to be necessary. While we appreciate your giving us the opportunity to review the documents, we no longer provide a detailed analysis of minimum standards.

The absence of a review by the Federal Aviation Administration does not relieve you of the responsibility to comply with the conditions of the grant agreements. In the event of a complaint or a verified case of noncompliance, we will look to the city of Fayetteville to resolve the issues. If you have any questions or we may be of service at any time, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Don Guffey at (817) 624-5611. Sincerely, )174e-cszteenen Gerald Musick, P.E.
