    Order 5100.38A, AIP Handbook. However, as stated in paragraph 568, the 
    allowable cost of utilities will be prorated between the eligible and

    prorated share of the costs for those utilities serving eligible areas

    spare breakers which are considered a maintenance item and, thus, are 
    also ineligible under AIP criteria, paragraph 501 of FAA Order 
    5100.38A. Therefore, the project does not meet the requirements of 
    Sec. 158.15(b)(1) and is disapproved.
