245: Review by airport operator of regulatory airport spatial undertaking

You could also call this:

"Airport operators must regularly check and update their plans for using airport space."

If you are an airport operator, you must review your regulatory airport spatial undertaking when certain things happen. You have to do this if a government agency tells you that they need more or less space, or if the undertaking is not meeting the requirements. You also have to review it every 5 years, even if nothing has changed. When you do a review, you have to give a copy to the Secretary.

If you find out that your undertaking is not meeting the requirements, you have to change it to meet them, or give a new one that does. This is based on what is said in section 241(2) and (3). When you make changes or give a new undertaking, the same rules apply as when you first made the undertaking, which is explained in sections 241 to 244.
