At the end of title VII, add the following:

SEC. 723. POLLOCK MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, LOUISIANA.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) Pollock Municipal Airport located in Pollock, Louisiana
(in this section referred to as the ``airport''), has never
been included in the national plan of integrated airport
systems established pursuant to section 47103 of title 49,
United States Code, and is therefore not considered necessary
to meet the current or future needs of the national aviation
system; and
(2) closing the airport will not adversely affect aviation
safety, aviation capacity, or air commerce.
(b) Request for Closure.--
(1) Approval.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
requirement, or agreement and subject to the requirements of
this section, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation
Administration shall--
(A) approve a request from the town of Pollock, Louisiana,
to close the airport as a public airport; and
(B) release the town from any term, condition, reservation,
or restriction contained in a surplus property conveyance or
transfer document, and from any order or finding by the
Department of Transportation on the use and repayment of
airport revenue applicable to the airport, that would
otherwise prevent the closure of the airport and
redevelopment of the facilities to nonaeronautical uses.
(2) Continued airport operation prior to approval.--The
town of Pollock shall continue to operate and maintain the
airport until the Administrator grants a request from the
town for closure of the airport under paragraph (1).
(3) Relocation of aircraft.--Before closure of the airport,
the town of Pollock shall provide adequate time for any
airport-based aircraft to be relocated.
(c) Repayment of Certain Federal Funds.--Upon closing the
airport pursuant to subsection (b), the town of Pollock shall
return to the Federal Aviation Administration any amounts
remaining from amounts provided by the Administration for
airport operating expenses.
