TABLE OF CONTENTS: Title I: Airport and Airway Improvement Act Amendments Title II: Miscellaneous Provisions Aviation Infrastructure Investment Act of 1993 - Title I: Airport and Airway Improvement Act Amendments - Amends the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 to reauthorize the Airport Improvement Program through FY 1996. Specifies allocations for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Facilities and Equipment Program. Limits amounts appropriated from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund to certain percentages. (Sec. 103) Authorizes appropriations for the FAA through FY 1996. (Sec. 104) Increases the minimum entitlement funding for small airports. States that, in deciding whether to make a discretionary grant, the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) shall consider, as a factor militating against the grant, that the airport is using airport-generated revenues for purposes other than capital or operating costs. (Sec. 105) Increases the minimum funding for integrated airport system planning. Extends through FY 1996 the programs for: (1) converting military airports to civil use (increasing from 12 to 16 the number of eligible airports); and (2) constructing parking lots, fuel farms, and utilities. Requires the Secretary, as a condition precedent to approval of an airport development project, to receive assurances that the airport owner or operator shall file annual reports on: (1) the amounts the airport pays to other governmental units; and (2) all services and property provided to other governmental units, and the amount of compensation received. (Sec. 107) Allows the unlimited use of discretionary funds for terminal development at primary airports enplaning up to .05 percent of total U.S. enplanements (small airports). Title II: Miscellaneous Provisions - Amends the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 to authorize any air carrier to provide advance notice to the public of: (1) the date on which a change of a rate, fare, or charge for air transportation is scheduled to take effect; and (2) the date on which a rate, fare, or charge is scheduled to terminate. (Sec. 202) Requires the Secretary, in determining what is basic essential air service and in selecting an air carrier to provide it, to give no consideration to whether slots at a high density airport are available. Requires the Secretary, if essential air service is to be provided to and from a high density airport, to ensure that a sufficient number of slots at the airport are available to the pertinent air carrier, transferring slots or otherwise making them available if necessary. States that the Secretary is not required to make slots available at O'Hare International Airport, Chicago, Illinois, if there are at least 132 slots available for basic essential air service to and from it. Declares that slots need not be transferred from an air carrier terminating basic essential air service to one selected to provide it if the carrier suspending essential air service is using slots to provide basic essential air service to another point. (Sec. 203) Prohibits the Secretary from taking a slot at a high density airport from an air carrier, and awarding it to a foreign air carrier, if U.S. carriers are not provided equivalent rights of access to airports in the country of which the foreign carrier is a citizen. (Sec. 204) Directs the Secretary to complete a rulemaking proceeding and issue a final decision on whether there should be a reduction in the annualized rate of random testing for prohibited drugs now required of personnel engaged in aviation activities. (Sec. 205) Amends the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 to prohibit any public agency authority from collecting an authorized fee from a passenger enplaning at an airport if the passenger did not pay for the air transportation which resulted in such enplanement, including any case in which the passenger obtained the ticket with a frequent flier award coupon without monetary payment. (Sec. 206) Amends Federal law to limit to five years the term of office of any individual appointed as FAA Administrator after enactment of this Act. (Sec. 207) Amends the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 to allow the Secretary to make grants for sound-proofing of residential buildings at airports which have not received approval for a Part 150 noise abatement program, but have been approved to receive such grants under an exemption to specified law. (Sec. 208) Amends the Metropolitan Washington Airports Act of 1986 to direct the Secretary to include in a certain airport lease terms and conditions necessary to ensure that: (1) all laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors in construction work shall be paid wages at prevailing rates in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act; and (2) the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (Airports Authority) shall not approve any construction contract without first obtaining adequate assurance that such wages shall be paid. (Sec. 209) Applies the National Labor Relations Act and the Labor Management Relations Act, 1947 to labor-management relations between the Airports Authority and labor organizations representing bargaining units at the Metropolitan Washington Airports. Declares that collective bargaining agreements between the Airports Authority and labor organizations shall be effective for at least two years. Provides for resolution of grievances and mediation of labor disputes, including binding arbitration.
