CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION and TRADE, TRAVEL, AND TOURISM COMMITTEE REPORT relative to a Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) agreement with the United States Soccer Federation, Inc., who is representing the Membership Association coordinating the bid with the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Recommendations for Council action:

1. ADOPT the determination by the Board of Airport Commissioners that the proposed action is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Article III, Class 1 (18)(c) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines.
   
   
2. APPROVE the LAWA agreement with United States Soccer Federation, Inc. to perform certain obligations to the Membership Association and/or FIFA.
   
   
3. CONCUR with the action taken by the Board of Airport Commissioners on February 1, 2018, by Resolution No. 26417 authorizing the Chief Executive Officer, LAWA, to execute the Airport Agreement with United States Soccer Federation, Inc.
   
   

Fiscal Impact Statement: The LAWA reports that approval of this action will improve the Los Angeles and United2026's bid to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States and Los Angeles. If the United States and Los Angeles are selected as host, the region will experience a significant increase in visitors leading up to and during the games. As the largest airport in the region and a major gateway for international passengers, the majority of these visitors will arrive and depart the City and the United States through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The incremental passengers attributed to the games are likely to increase LAX's concessions, parking, ground transportation, Passenger Facility Charge and Customer Facility Charge revenues. Such incremental revenues will benefit the airport's financial metrics and cash flows available to support LAX capital programs.
