Less grant help for airport deicing storage
This bill would remove deicing storage from the legal definition of airport development used for federal airport grants. If enacted, airports would not be able to count storage for deicing equipment or fluids as eligible airport development. That could make it harder to get FAA grant money for those storage projects. Airports might need to use their own funds or find other sources. The bill would not add new programs, money, or deadlines.
