Fort Worth. 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.
Grant agreements entered into by the city of Fayetteville
contain certain conditions which apply to non-discrimination
and/or exclusive rights. 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,
