SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposes to rule and invites public
comment on the application to use PFC revenue at Lewiston-Nez Perce
County Airport, under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 40117 and part 158 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 158). The City of
Lewiston and County of Nez Perce has also requested that their previous
application be amended. This amendment request will be addressed under
Federal Aviation Regulation part 158.37(b)(1). On February 3, 1994, the
FAA issued a Record of Decision approving the applicant's application
for an Impose Only PFC in the amount of $229,610, with an effective
date of May 1, 1994. Collection of the PFC charge commenced July 1,
1994. The increased amount identified in the current application
reflects action, by the City of Lewiston and County of Nez Perce, to
identify a more accurate estimate of costs and necessary scope. This
was accomplished through the development of a feasibility study.
On January 24, 1995, the FAA determined that the application to use
revenue from a PFC submitted by the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport
was substantially complete within the requirements of Sec. 158.25 of
part 158. The FAA will approve or disapprove the application, in whole
or in part, no later than May 12, 1995.
The following is a brief overview of the application.

Proposed charge effective date: July 1, 1994.
Proposed charge expiration date: July 1, 2003.
Total estimated PFC revenues: $835,458.00.
Brief description of proposed project: Terminal building expansion
and remodel.
Class or classes of air carriers which the public agency has
requested not be required to collect PFC's: Charter carriers or air

taxi/commercial operations such as air ambulance services, non-stop
sightseeing flights that begin and end at the airport and are concluded
