Only the FAA can close an airport.


What do you base that on?


Logic. The FAA is charged with safe operation of the NAS. If some
other agency is going to arbitrarily shutdown airport facilities, how
can the FAA successfully fulfill their mandate?

The Chicago mayor was fined $1,100.00 for every day short of the
required 30-day notification period when he shutdown Meigs field.
