The SPCC rules require facilities with aboveground storage of oils (including aviation fuels) in excess of 1,320 gallons to have and implement an SPCC plan.

The webinar discussion will highlight sponsor assurances (commitments made by airport sponsors in return for federal funding) and the three advisory circulars that interpret them. These assurances provide guidance on, among other things, competition among FBOs and other aeronautical users, promote safety and efficiency in all airport activities, and are supposed to reduce or eliminate the incidence of unfair treatment among FBOs and other aeronautical users. The webinar will examine how the sponsor assurances can be used to get the best results during negotiations and how they can protect your FBO from unfair treatment by an airport sponsor.
With the current downturn in the economy, the issue of fair competition at general aviation airports has become even more important to the FBO industry. Learn about your rights as an airport tenant, and how to protect your investment and improve your negotiating power.
