Summary
This bill amends Federal aviation law to update the requirements for airports to qualify for special funding rules regarding the Federal government's share of airport project costs.

The bill also includes airports located in United States territories that were eligible points under section 419 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 on October 24, 1978. These eligibility criteria determine which airports qualify for the special Federal funding rules and cost-sharing arrangements. The changes take effect upon enactment of the bill.
