21.4 If due to weather or other considerations an aircraft with a suspected hidden explosive problem were to land or intended to land at an airport other than those listed above, it is recommended they call the FAA’s Washington Operations Center (telephone 202.267.3333, if appropriate) or have an air traffic facility with which you can communicate contact the above center requesting assistance.
GEN 3.7 Aircraft Rescue and
Fire Fighting Communications
1. Discrete Emergency Frequency
1.1 Direct contact between an emergency aircraft flight crew, Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Incident Commander (ARFF IC), and the Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) is possible on an aeronautical radio frequency (Discrete Emergency Frequency [DEF]) designated by Air Traffic Control (ATC) from the operational frequencies assigned to that facility.
1.2 Emergency aircraft at airports without an ATCT (or when the ATCT is closed) may contact the ARFF IC (if ARFF service is provided) on the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) published for the airport or the civil emergency frequency 121.5 MHz.
2. Radio Call Signs
Preferred radio call sign for the ARFF IC is “(location/facility) Command” when communica-ting with the flight crew and the FAA ATCT.
EXAMPLE.
LAX Command. Washington Command.
3. ARFF Emergency Hand Signals
In the event that electronic communications cannot be maintained between the ARFF IC and the flight crew, standard emergency hand signals as depicted in FIG GEN 3.7.1 through FIG GEN 3.7.3 should be used. These hand signals should be known and understood by all cockpit and cabin aircrew, and all ARFF firefighters.

FIG GEN 3.7.2 FIG GEN 3.7.3
GEN 4. CHARGES FOR AERODROMES/HELIPORTS
AND AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES
GEN 4.1 Fees and Charges
1. General
1.1 Charges for services and facilities vary from aerodrome to aerodrome, and information concern-ing such charges may be obtained at the aerodromes. Unless alternative arrangements have been made, all charges for the use of the aerodrome, such as landing fees, passenger service charges, cargo charges, storage charges, and the like, are payable on demand or before the aircraft departs the aerodrome. All such charges are established by and payable to the various administrative authorities of the various aerodromes.
1.2 A private aircraft will be charged a processing fee of $25 once every calendar year. This will be charged the first time the aircraft arrives from a foreign place in the calender year or may be paid in advance. This fee is charged to the aircraft, not the pilot, and the receipt should be kept with the aircraft.
1.3
Commercial aircraft operators will be charged a processing fee of $5 per paying passenger for each arrival from foreign to the U.S. This fee will not be charged for passengers arriving from Canada, Mexico, and certain nearby Caribbean countries.
2.
Charges for Inspection Services
2.1 Generally speaking, free service is provided at airports during regular business hours (usually 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Monday through Saturday, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays and national holidays. However, tours of duty at airports are based on the need for services and are altered at some ports to coincide with schedule changes and peak workloads.
2.2 Overtime charges may be imposed, in certain cases, for Immigration and Naturalization Services and Public Health Service quarantine inspection of aircraft whose operations are not covered by published schedules. Information concerning such charges may be obtained from the Immigration and Naturalization Office and the Public Health Service Medical Officer in Charge at, or nearest, the intended place of landing.
3. Penalties for Violations
3.1 Since the law provides for substantial penalties for violations of the Customs regulations, aircraft operators and pilots should make every effort to comply with them.
3.2 A $5,000 penalty will be assessed for common violations such as:
3.2.1 Failure to report arrival.
3.2.2 Failure to obtain landing rights.
3.2.3 Failure to provide advance notice of arrival.
3.2.4 Failure to provide penetration report on southern border.
3.2.5 Departing without permission or discharging passengers or cargo without permission.
REFERENCE.
19 CFR 122.161.
NOTE.
1.
Importation of contraband, including agricultural materials, or undeclared merchandise can result in penalty action and seizure of aircraft, which varies according to the nature of the violation and pertinent provision of law.
