Such special justi- <br />fications include: <br />(a) If an airport is included in an accepted <br />SASP or RASP but the community it serves <br />is within 30 minutes of the nearest <br />existing or proposed NASP airport or the <br />airport forecasts less than 10 based <br />aircraft (or engines) in the short -range <br />period, it may be included in the NASP <br />if the benefits of the airport will <br />exceed its costs. The cost /benefit <br />analysis should be in accordance with <br />the technique described in Appendix 1* or <br />a comparable technique that quantifies <br />airport benefits and costs. Care must <br />be taken for low activity locations to <br />only include those with a willing, <br />eligible sponsor who will be financially <br />able to operate and maintain the <br />airport. <br />(b) A written special justification <br />describing, for example, isolation (com- <br />munities in remote area or on islands), <br />airports to serve the needs of Indian <br />tribes, airports needed to support <br />recreation areas, or airports needed to <br />develop or protect important national <br />resources. <br />*Appendix 1 of FAA Order 5090.3A not included in this report. <br />KM. <br />
