  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
