Summary

General Aviation Access Act - Prohibits the Secretaries of the Interior or of Agriculture from taking any action or inaction, including neglect, which would permanently close or render or declare as unserviceable any aircraft landing strip, unless: (1) the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the head of the aviation department of each State in which the aircraft landing strip is located have approved such action; (2) notice of the proposed action has been published in the Federal Register; (3) a 90-day public comment period on the action has been provided; and (4) any comments received during the comment period have been taken into consideration by the Secretaries, as the case may be, the FAA Administrator, and the head of the aviation department of each State in which the affected aircraft landing strip is located. Directs the Secretaries to: (1) adopt a nationwide policy in accordance with this Act for governing general aviation issues related to the management of Federal land under their jurisdiction; and (2) require regional managers to adhere to it. Declares that a policy affecting access to an aircraft landing strip located on Federal land (including any national policy required under this Act) shall not take effect unless certain conditions are met, including that the FAA has the sole authority to control aviation and airspace over the United States.
