BTW - Section 336 is actual law right now. There is no further action needed by the FAA or any other agency to make it so. It became effective the day it was signed into law in 2012.
Which is why I was wondering about the two airports, as I do not believe you have to contact small private airports that are not active and no active manager. The 400 foot rule would apply if they are active and he did not contact them.
