Question

Does SanJuan have to Obey the FAA?

Answer 1

all I can tell you for sure is, that Puerto Rico is reported as "Domestic" on all DOT reporting and APHIS compliance.

Answer 2

Yes, Puerto Rico is a US Possession and the airport received Federal Grants. When Federal money is given to airports, the airport owner agrees to follow certain guidelines.

You can read the regulations at FAA.gov, Title 14, Subchapter I, Parts 150 through 169.
