              CHAPTER 473--INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FACILITIES
 
Sec. 47305. Administrative

    (a) General Authority.--The Secretary of Transportation shall 
consolidate, operate, protect, maintain, and improve airport property 
and airway property (except meteorological facilities), and the 
Secretary of Commerce may consolidate, operate, protect, maintain, and 
improve meteorological facilities, that the appropriate Secretary has 
acquired and that are located in territory outside the continental 
United States. In carrying out this section, the appropriate Secretary 
may--
        (1) adapt the property or facility to the needs of civil 
    aeronautics;
        (2) lease the property or facility for not more than 20 years;
        (3) make a contract, or provide directly, for facilities and 
    services;
        (4) make reasonable charges for aeronautical services; and
        (5) acquire an interest in property.

    (b) Crediting Appropriations.--Money received from the direct sale 
or charge that the Secretary of Transportation or Commerce, as 
appropriate, decides is equivalent to the cost of facilities and 
services sold or provided under subsection (a)(3) and (4) of this 
section is credited to the appropriation from which the cost was paid. 
The balance shall be deposited in the Treasury as miscellaneous 
receipts.
    (c) Using Other Government Facilities and Services.--To carry out 
this chapter and to use personnel and facilities of the United States 
Government most advantageously and without unnecessary duplication, the 
Secretary of Transportation or Commerce, as appropriate, shall request, 
when practicable, to use a facility or service of an appropriate 
department, agency, or instrumentality of the Government on a 
reimbursable basis. A department, agency, or instrumentality receiving a 
request under this section may provide the facility or service.
    (d) Advertising Not Required.--Section 3709 of the Revised Statutes 
(41 U.S.C. 5) does not apply to a lease or contract made by the 
Secretary of Transportation or Commerce under this chapter.
