Grant assurances are:

• A. Promises made to the govt in exchange for land or money
• B. Legal guidelines for airport design
• C. Certifications for safety management
• D. Standards for environmental compliance

Answer: (A)

Grant assurances are the promises a recipient makes to the government when receiving a grant or land for a project. They bind the recipient to use the funds for the approved purpose and to meet ongoing requirements—such as maintaining facilities, allowing oversight, and complying with applicable laws and regulations. In airports, signing these assurances when federal money is involved creates a legally enforceable agreement that the airport will operate in the public interest and follow the specified conditions. The other options describe design guidelines, safety certifications, or environmental standards, which aren’t what grant assurances are.
