Section 560. Assigned-space switch list

17 AAC 45.560. Assigned-space switch list

(a) For each airport designated for assigned-space aircraft parking, the department will establish and maintain a switch list by which a permittee may have an opportunity to receive reassignment to a different assigned space in the same category. Each switch list will be maintained in chronological order according to the date the department receives each written switch request under (b) of this section for that category of assigned space. Each switch list is a public record and will include

(1) each requesting permittee's

(A) name;

(B) mailing address;

(C) if available, telephone and facsimile numbers and electronic-mail address; and

(D) currently assigned space and the category of space and list or description of spaces to which the permittee would accept reassignment; and

(2) the date the department received each switch request.

(b) An existing permittee in good standing may request to be placed on a switch list by submitting a written request on a form provided by the department. Placement on a switch list does not create a right to reassignment to a different space.

(c) When an assigned space becomes available, the department will, by telephone, facsimile, electronic-mail, or other means reasonably calculated to make immediate contact, make not less than one attempt on each of at least two days to offer the space to the first permittee on the applicable switch list who has requested to be reassigned to that space.

(d) If the permittee does not accept an offer under (c) of this section within five days after the department offers the space, or if the department is unable to contact the permittee by the attempts described in (c) of this section, the department will offer the available space to the next permittee on the applicable switch list who has requested reassignment to that space. If no switch-list permittee who requested reassignment to the space accepts the offer of that available space, the department will make the space available to the first wait-list applicant in accordance with 17 AAC 45.570.

(e) A permittee who accepts an offer to switch to a new assigned space under this section shall, within 14 days after accepting the offer, execute a permit amendment or new permit for the new space for the balance of the permittee's term at the previous assigned space and relocate the permittee's aircraft to the new space. In addition, the permittee shall, at no expense to the department,

(1) relocate the permittee's personal property to the new space;

(2) transfer the permittee's personal property to the succeeding permittee of the vacated space; or

(3) remove the permittee's personal property from the airport.

(f) If a permittee on a switch list fails to accept an offered space within five days of receipt of the offer under (d) of this section or the department is unsuccessful in its attempts to contact the permittee as provided in (c) of this section, the department will move the permittee's name to the end of the switch list.

(g) A permittee on a switch list must notify the department of any change in mailing address, telephone or facsimile number, or electronic-mail address.

(h) A permittee who applies to be placed on a switch list or a permittee on a switch list may protest a decision of the department under this section in accordance with 17 AAC 45.910.
