It was based on the “Mariana Islands Airport Authority Act” enacted by the Congress of Micronesia as PL 6-58. See the commission comment to 2 CMC § 2101. PL 2-48 created the Commonwealth Ports Authority to implement its provisions and operate the ports of the Commonwealth. See 2 CMC §§ 2121-22.

Illustrative calculations of Airline Rents, Fees, and Charges are provided in Exhibit X. (b) Mid-Year Adjustments. If it appears to the Authority on the basis of information it is able to accumulate during the course of any Fiscal Year that the budgeted Capital Charges and Maintenance or Operation Expenses or projected levels of Airline activity it has used to calculate the Airline Rents, Fees, and Charges set forth in the Rate Methodology are likely to vary significantly (higher or lower) from actual results, the Authority may make adjustments to such rates and charges at mid-year or at such other time during the calendar year (a) as the need for such an adjustment becomes apparent to the Authority or (b) the variance between the budgeted Capital Charges and Maintenance and Operation Expenses or projected levels of Airline activity and actual results is expected to be ten percent (10%) or more. The Authority shall provide Airlines operating at the Airports with at least thirty (30) days advance written notice (“Mid-Year Adjustment Notice”) of any adjustments to be made under this Section 1.02.* (c) Year-End True-Up. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after completion of the audit for the preceding Fiscal Year, the Authority will recalculate the Airline Rents, Fees, and Charges as set forth in this Rate Methodology on the basis of actual Capital Charges and Maintenance and Operation Expenses. Airline activity and other factors affecting the prescribed calculations and shall determine the amount of any overpayment (credit) or underpayment (debit) due to or from Airline. Any resulting credit will be issued to Airline, and any resulting debit will be invoiced to and payable by Airline. Airline may request that the Authority issue a payment to Airline, instead of a credit, for all or a portion of any overpayment. Any such request must be made in writing to the Authority and the Authority shall submit a payment for the amount requested within 90 days of receipt of the request. (d) Cost Centers. To allocate Capital Charges and Maintenance and Operation Expenses, the following Centers shall be utilized by Authority: (1) Direct Cost Centers.

Each Airline shall pay Landing Fees for its use of the Airfields within the Airport System based on its Maximum Gross Landed Weight at the Airports during the Fiscal Year. The Landing Fees effective October 1st of each Fiscal Year shall be determined according to the rate-setting method set forth in this Section 40-10.1-1205(a). (1) Airfield Net Requirement. The Authority shall calculate the Airfield Net Requirement as follows for each Fiscal Year: (i) The sum of Maintenance and Operation Expenses and Capital Charges allocable to the Airfields in the Airport System; minus (ii) Any federal, State, or local grants or PFCs that are allocable to the Airfields in the Airport System. (2) Calculation of Landing Fees. The Authority shall calculate the Average Landing Fee for each Fiscal Year by dividing by the cumulative Maximum Gross Landed Weight of all Airlines in the Airport System for the Fiscal Year. The Authority shall then calculate a Saipan Main Terminal Landing Fee and a Commuter Terminal Landing Fee such that the Commuter Terminal Landing Fee is sixty percent (60%) of the Saipan Main Terminal Landing Fee. Aircraft utilizing the Saipan Main Terminal shall pay the Saipan Main Terminal Landing Fee and Aircraft utilizing the Saipan Commuter Terminal or landing at Rota Airport or Tinian Airport shall pay the Commuter Terminal Landing Fee. (3) Payment of Landing Fees. Each Airline shall pay monthly to the Authority the applicable Landing Fees for Revenue Landings for the preceding month upon receipt of invoice from the Authority, Airline’s Landing Fees shall be determined as the product of the applicable Landing Fee rate for the period, and Airline’s total landed weight for the month. Airline’s landed weight for the month shall be determined as the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the Maximum Gross Landed Weight of each type of Airline’s aircraft by the number of Revenue Landings of each said aircraft during such month. (4) Exempted from paying landing fees is any aircraft operator which has a valid written agreement with the Authority, which provides for landing fees other than as provided for in this section. U.S. Federal Government Aircraft shall pay a landing fee for substantial use of the Airport, using the standards set forth in FAA Grant Assurance 27. (i) Substantial Use is defined in the assurances as the existence of one of the following conditions: (A) Five (5) or more federal government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or on land adjacent to the airport; (B) Federal government aircraft make 300 or more total calendar month operations (counting each landing and each takeoff as a separate operation); (C) The gross cumulative weight of federal government aircraft using the airport in a calendar month (the total operations of federal government aircraft multiplied by gross certified weights of such aircraft) exceeds five (5) million pounds.
