mended by the Civil Aeronautics Administration for comparable air-
ports, and that safe air traffic patterns can be worked out for such
airport and for all existing airports and approved airport sites in its
vicinity. All licenses shall be renewable annually upon payment of
the fees prescribed. Licenses and renewals thereof may be issued
subject to any reasonable conditions that the Commission may deem
necessary to effectuate the purposes of this section. In the case of a
renewal of license, the commission shall be empowered to require,
prior to such renewal and at other reasonable times, that the
operator provide to it by serial number and description a list of all
aircraft based at such airport for which renewal is sought, together
with the names and addresses of the owners thereof. The Commission
may, after notice and opportunity for hearing to the licensee, revoke
any license or renewal thereof, or refuse to issue a renewal, when it
shall reasonably determine (1) that there has been an abandonment of
the airport as such, or (2) that there has been a failure to comply
with the conditions of the license or renewal thereof, or (3) that
because of change of physical or legal conditions or circumstances
the airport has become either unsafe or unusable for the aeronautical
purposes for which the license or renewal was issued. It shall be
unlawful for any municipality, or officer or employee thereof, or any
person to operate an airport without an appropriate license for such,
as may be duly required by rule or regulation issued pursuant to this
subsection.

(c) In connection with the grant of approval of a proposed airport
site or the issuance of an airport license under subsections (a) and
(b) of this section, the Commission may, on its own motion or shall
upon request, hold a hearing open to the public as provided in Section
27. In the event that the Commission holds hearings prior to the
issuance or renewal of a commercial airport license the reasonable
costs of such hearing, not to exceed $100.00, shall be paid by the
applicant.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1963.

Approved May 6, 1963.
