Subpart D_Siting of HUD Assisted Projects in Runway Clear Zones at Civil

Sec. 51.303  General policy.

    It is HUD's general policy to apply standards to prevent 
incompatible development around civil airports and military airfields.
    (a) HUD policy for actions in Runway Clear Zones and Clear Zones.
    (1) HUD policy is not to provide any assistance, subsidy or 
insurance for projects and actions covered by this part except as stated 
in Sec. 51.303(a)(2) below.
    (2) If a project proposed for HUD assistance, subsidy or insurance 
is one which will not be frequently used or occupied by people, HUD 
policy is to provide assistance, subsidy or insurance only when written 
assurances are provided to HUD by the airport operator to the effect 
that there are no plans to purchase the land involved with such 
facilities as part of a Runway Clear Zone or Clear Zone acquisition 
program.
    (3) Special notification requirements for Runway Clear Zones and 
Clear Zones. In all cases involving HUD assistance, subsidy, or 
insurance for the purchase or sale of an existing property in a Runway 
Clear Zone or Clear Zone, HUD (or the responsible entity or recipient 
under 24 CFR part 58) shall advise the buyer that the property is in a 
Runway Clear Zone or Clear Zone, what the implications of such a 
location are, and that there is a possibility that the property may, at 
a later date, be acquired by the airport operator. The buyer must sign a 
statement acknowledging receipt of this information.
    (b) HUD policy for actions in Accident Potential Zones at Military 
Airfields. HUD policy is to discourage the provision of any assistance, 
subsidy or insurance for projects and actions in the Accident Potential 
Zones. To be approved, projects must be generally consistent with the 
recommendations in the Land Use Compatibility Guidelines For Accident 
Potential Zones chart contained in DOD Instruction 4165.57, 32 CFR part 
256.
