Guidance Updated for Non-aviation Use of Airports
For temporary closure the applicant must show intangible benefits for the airport.

The FAA has published a proposed update of its policy regarding approval of the temporary closure of a federally obligated airport for a non-aeronautical purpose. Under this policy, an operator may temporarily close the airport or part of the airport for a non-aviation event if the FAA approves that closure in advance. The proposed policy statement describes the process and criteria for the agency to evaluate airport closure requests and the required contents of an airport operator’s request for approval.
