RULES AND REGULATIONS
PREFACE
1.01
Authority:
The Rules and Regulations Manual for LA/Ontario International Airport
(ONT) is published under authority contained in Section 239 and 239.2 of
the Los Angeles City Charter, which empowers the Los Angeles World
Airports (LAWA) Board of Airport Commissioners (Board) to make rules and
regulations governing the use and control of City airports subject to the
powers of the United States respecting commerce, and empowers the
LAWA Executive Director, or her/his duly authorized representative at
LA/Ontario International Airport (ONT), to enforce all Rules and Regulations
adopted by the Board.
United States Federal government Code of Federal Regulations Title 14 (14
CFR) Part 139; and, Title 49 (49 CFR) Transportation Security Regulation
(TSR) Part 1540 and 1542, requires Airport management to establish
operational safety and security procedures to meet Department of Homeland
Security - Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) certification requirements for ONT.
1.02
Purpose:
The primary purpose of this manual is to provide Airport users with a single
document representing a compendium of rules, regulations, procedures, and
general information governing their activities at ONT. The objective of the
manual is to promote the safe and efficient use of ONT facilities.
1.03
Contents:
The regulatory provisions of this manual are established by City of Ontario
Ordinances, including number 1775, which is incorporated herein by this
reference, Municipal Codes and Resolutions adopted by the Board,
directives issued by Airport management, and provisions of 14 CFR Part 139
and 49 CFR Part 1542. Selected maps and other documents are included
as necessary to accomplish the purpose of the manual.
1.04
Compliance:
The importance of compliance with all Airport rules and regulations cannot
be emphasized too strongly. City of Ontario Ordinances number 1775 and
1694 collectively, provide that any person violating or failing to comply with
regulations established by the Board for control of the conduct of persons
and ground operations on the Airport shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and

RULES AND REGULATIONS
upon conviction thereof shall be punishable by a fine of not more than
$500.00 or by imprisonment for a period of not more than six months, or by
both such fine and imprisonment.
1.05
Enforcement:
The Executive Director, or her/his duly authorized representative, is
assigned the overall responsibility of enforcing compliance with Airport rules
and regulations. Ontario City Ordinance number 1775 authorizes any police
officer of the City and any Airport Safety Officer or Airport Police Officer to
issue a citation to any person violating the Airport Rules and Regulations.
Under certain circumstances, assistance of other law enforcement agencies
may be requested.
Successful enforcement, however, depends to a great extent on the full and
active cooperation of all Airport user supervisors and employees. This
requires a thorough knowledge and understanding, through safety training
programs, of applicable Airport Rules and Regulations on a continuing basis.
1.06
Deviations:
The Executive Director, or her/his duly authorized representative, may
approve, in writing, deviations from ONT Rules and Regulations when in
their judgment, action is necessary to maintain established standards of
operational safety and airport security, or in contingency situations affecting
life and/or property in areas under the jurisdiction of ONT.
