3. ACRP 90: Impact of Regulatory Compliance on Small Airports Identify compliance requirements applicable to small hub and non-hub airports Quantify cost of compliance Looked at: FAA/DOT; EPA; TSA; OSHA requirements Study period: 2000-2010 Found 291 Federal compliance actions adopted during the study period
