The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority is a separate government agency created under a joint powers agreement between the three cities of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena in 1977 for the sole purpose of owning and operating the Bob Hope Airport. The Authority consists of nine commissioners, three from each city. The commissioners from each city are appointed by their city council.

FAR Part 161 Study

The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority's Part 161 Study is contained in its entirety in the section below. The Authority submitted the Study and Application to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) February 2, 2009, and the FAA sent its initial response March 6, 2009, in which it sought supplemental information within 30 days before proceeding with its evaluation.

Final documentation was submitted to the FAA on May 5, 2009, entitled "Revised Documentation in Support of a NEPA Categorical Exclusion Determination for a Proposed Curfew at Bob Hope Airport."

On May 29, 2009, the FAA notified the Airport Authority that the Study and Application were deemed complete, and that FAA will either approve or disapprove the proposed curfew no later than November 1, 2009.

On June 22, 2009, a Notice of Proposed Access Restriction and Opportunity for Public Comment was published in the Federal Register by the FAA. The comment closed July 22, 2009.
