WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 8

Upon receipt of FAA approval of construction
of the international terminal expansion at
the Baltimore Washington International
Airport as reported to the General Assembly
during the 1994 session, and the proposal to
finance the international terminal
expansion through the Maryland
Transportation Authority, the department
shall provide notification to the budget
committees without the need for further
action on the part of the General Assembly.

It is the intent of the General Assembly that if the
total number of domestic and international
passengers at BWI is expected to be more than
10% below the current projection for calendar
year 1994, the MAA shall submit a report to
the budget committees analyzing the impact of
such reduction on the collection of Passenger
Facility Charges (PFC's), the financing of
PFC projects, and the cash flow between the
transportation trust fund and the Maryland
Transportation Authority.

It is the intent of the General Assembly that if the
MAA is notified by an existing BWI carrier
that it will terminate or reduce any scheduled
international service, the MAA must submit a
report to the budget committees within 30 days
that:

(1)     revises BWI's international traffic
projections; and

(2)     analyzes the impact of such reduction in
international traffic on the financial viability
of the international terminal.

For fiscal year 1995, the aggregate amount to
be expended for airport improvement
projects funded through Passenger Facility
Charges (PFC's) may not exceed $192.2
million, including funding from federal,
Maryland Department of Transportation
and Maryland Transportation Authority
sources. Funds may only be expended for
tile following projects:
