Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs

 

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has several strategic goals: Safety, People, Global Leadership, and Operational excellence. The FAA Office of Airports (ARP) grant programs described in this listing contribute to these goals, as outlined in the FAA Annual Summary of Performance and Financial Information. The ARP mission is planning and developing a safe and efficient national airports system to satisfy the needs of the aviation interests of the U.S., with considerations for economics, environmental issues, local proprietary rights, and safeguarding the public investment. As an important component of that mission, ARP provides financial assistance to airports nationwide through grants. These grants contribute to the objective of maintaining and optimizing airport and runway safety, capacity, efficiency, financial responsibility, and environmental sustainability. The program objective of this listing is to assist sponsors, owners, or operators of public-use airports in the development of a nationwide system of airports adequate to meet the needs of civil aeronautics. The purpose of the various laws applicable to this program includes the investment in transportation, environmental protection, and airport infrastructure that will support long-term economic benefits. Grants to airports also support the objectives of several Executive Orders, including Executive Order 13985 Executive Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, Executive Order 14005 Ensuring the Future is Made in all of America by All of Americas Workers, and Executive Order 14008 Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad (as listed in the Regulations and Guidance Section). Performance measurement and reporting. An example of performance measurement: In the mission area of safety, the FAA Business Plan has several Initiatives, including the Initiative on Runway Pavement Maintenance. This initiative ensures that airport infrastructure is kept in a safe and serviceable condition through capital improvements and airport inspections. The related activity is to ensure runway pavement is kept in a safe and serviceable condition by maintaining eligible runway pavement in Excellent, Good, or Fair condition. The performance measure, as a specific target metric, is ensuring that this condition is met (based on visual inspections) for 93 percent of the paved runways in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). The financial assistance provided through these federal grants contribute to the capital improvements mentioned above. For performance reporting, all grants are required to submit performance reports (Annually for non-construction grants: FAA Form 5100-140 Performance Report, and quarterly for construction grants: FAA Form 5370-1 Construction Progress and Inspection Report). These reports include reporting on project milestone goals as well as lab and field testing for construction projects. With a standard period of performance of 4 years, projects must be completed within that timeframe. Projects are monitored throughout the period of performance and grant disbursements are regularly tracked. The program office monitors period of performance expirations and grant closeout in order to confirm successful project completion. A key performance indicator for the program in this listing is number of grant projects successfully completed and closed out. This measurement of grant funding disbursement as well as progress of projects towards completion aligns with and is reported on in the FAAs Annual Performance and Accountability Report.

Only those AIP supported projects considered by the FAA Administrator to be necessary to provide for a safe and efficient airport system and to meet the current and projected growth of civil aeronautics will be considered for selection. The airports at which AIP projects are proposed must be included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems (NPIAS). Any additional program selection criteria are outlined in Federal Register Notices and Notices of Funding Availability. Under the BIL grants, AIG project selection process is similar to AIP, but the ATP and FCT programs have more specific project eligibility and selection criteria as outlined in the respective Notice of Funding Opportunity. How assistance may be used, described in this sequence: AIP, Covid relief, BIL. AIP Grants can be made for integrated airport system planning in a specific area and airport master planning, construction, or rehabilitation at a public-use airport or portion thereof. Authorizing legislation refers to an airport as any area of land or water used or intended to be used for landing or taking off of aircraft and includes, within five categories of airports listed below, special types of facilities such as seaplane bases and heliports. The statute defines airports by categories which include: commercial service, primary, cargo service, reliever, general aviation airports - defined in Chapter 4, Section 4.5 of AIP Handbook (FAA Order 5100.38D.) General aviation (GA): defined as public airports that are not commercial service airports, and these comprise largest single group of airports in the U.S. airport system. Eligible work at airports consists of: (1)airport master plans;(2)airport noise compatibility plans;(3)land acquisition;(4)site preparation;(5)construction, alteration, and rehabilitation of runways, taxiways, aprons, and certain roads within airport boundaries; (6)construction and installation of airfield lighting, navigational aids, certain related offsite work;(7)safety equipment required for certification of airport facility;(8)security equipment required of the sponsor by Secretary of Transportation by rule or regulation for the safety and security of persons and property on the airport;(9)snow-removal equipment;(10) terminal development;(11)aviation-related weather reporting equipment;(12)equipment to measure runway surface friction;(13)firefighting burn area training structures and land for that purpose, on or off airport; (14)agency-approved noise compatibility projects;(15)relocation of air traffic control towers and navigational aids (including radar) if they impede other projects funded by AIP;(16) land, paving, drainage, aircraft deicing equipment and structures for centralized deicing areas; and(17)projects to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act. Under limited criteria, aircraft hangar construction and automobile parking lots are eligible. Grants for hangars and parking facilities are available on a limited basis based on funding. Grants may not be made for buildings not related to the safety of persons on the airport, decorative landscaping or artwork, or routine maintenance and repair. Technical advisory services are also provided for on a project need basis. CARES grants fund costs related to paying off debt, reimbursing payroll costs, paying utilities, and routine operations and maintenance costs. In some situations, these grants can be used for construction projects on airport property. All airport expenses, including construction, must be in line with FAA’s Revenue Use Policy. ARPA grants fund costs related to operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, janitorial servicing, combating spread of pathogens, and debt service payments. Providing rent and minimum annual guarantee (MAG) relief for in-terminal Concessions. Construction projects using ARPA funds must be limited to combating spread of pathogens, such as upgraded HVAC systems, terminal reconfigurations for social distancing, facilities to accommodate health screening, etc. Under BIL Airport Infrastructure Grants (AIG), airport sponsor may use these funds for airport-related projects defined under 49U.S.C.40117(a)(3), with exception of debt service. Under BIL Airport Terminal Program (ATP), funds can be used for justified terminal development projects as defined under 49U.S.C.47102(28), including multi-modal projects, and on-airport rail access projects, as outlined in 86 FR 48793 (PFC Update75-21). Also eligible: Projects for relocating, reconstructing, repairing, or improving an airport owned control tower. Under BIL FCT, only airport owned towers in the FAA Contract Tower Program are eligible. Performance Reports: Project performance monitoring is conducted through site visits and reports. Reports must be filed quarterly with the FAA District or Regional Office and as frequently as determined by the FAA based on project type. Recipient sponsor's records are required to be made available for inspection by FAA, DOT, Office of the Inspector General, and/or the Government Accountability Office (GAO). An airport layout plan must be kept up to date and available as long as the grant agreement lasts, ordinarily a period of 20 years. Accounting records reflecting all project costs, books, documents, and records pertinent to grants are to be retained for 3 years after date of submission of final expenditure report. Grant recipients shall submit periodic reports containing the following information: 1. The number of projects that have been put out to bid under the grant and the amount of Federal funds associated with each project. 2. The number of projects for which contracts have been awarded and the amount of Federal funds associated with each project. 3. The number of projects for which work has begun under such contracts and the amount of Federal funds associated with each contract. 4. The number of projects for which work has been completed under such contracts and the amount of Federal funds associated with each contract. Statutory formula is not applicable to this assistance listing.

Matching is mandatory. Matching Requirements: Percent: Other - For AIP and BIL AIG allocations the local match when not combined with a covid relief program, is normally between 5% and 25% and is determined by a variety of factors provided for by legislation. Select pilot studies under the program may have a local match of up to 50%. Due to COVID-19 relief programs such as CARES, required local sponsor match for AIP in some years was 0%. For the CARES and ARPA COVID-relief grant programs, the required local sponsor match in some years is 0%. For BIL ATP, matching requirement for grants to Large and Medium Hub airports is 20% Matching requirements for Small, Non-Hub and Non-Primary airports 5%. For BIL FCT there is no local match for selected projects.

MOE requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing. Projects are expected to be completed as expeditiously as possible, and periods of performance are a maximum of 4 years starting from the date of grant award execution. Most airports complete projects within two to three years of grant award. Awarded by lump sum. Assistance is released upon application for reimbursement of expenses.
