**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

Section 123 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (Pub.

The FAA will apply the 2004 Policy to all other ground access projects using PFC funds. FAA has posted PFC Update 75-21: Eligibility of on-airport rail access projects on the FAA Office of Airports website: *https://www.faa.gov/airports/pfc/pfc_updates/.*
