If federal funds are used for land acquisition, the airport operator is governed by the procedures found in 49 CFR Part 24 and the ______ Act.

• A. Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act
• B. National Relocation Act
• C. Property Conservation Act
• D. Relocation and Property Act

Answer: (A)

When federal funds are used for land acquisition, the process must follow established protections for people and businesses affected by public projects. The Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act provides those protections and is implemented through 49 CFR Part 24. This Act sets the standards for relocation assistance, eligibility for payments, moving expenses, and fair compensation, ensuring a uniform, fair approach to acquiring real property for projects like airports. The other options don’t correspond to an actual statute governing federally funded land acquisitions, so they don’t fit the scenario.
