(d)

Considerations.—

(1)

For capacity enhancement projects .—

In selecting a project for a grant to preserve and improve capacity funded in whole or in part from the fund, the Secretary shall consider—
(A)
the effect that the project will have on overall national transportation system capacity;
(B)
the benefit and cost of the project, including, in the case of a project at a reliever airport, the number of operations projected to be diverted from a primary airport to the reliever airport as a result of the project, as well as the cost savings projected to be realized by users of the local airport system;

the financial commitment from non-United States Government sources to preserve or improve airport capacity;
(D)
the airport improvement priorities of the States to the extent such priorities are not in conflict with subparagraphs (A) and (B);

the ability of the project to foster United States competitiveness in securing global air cargo activity at a United States airport.

For all projects .—

(2)

Required finding .—
