DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Deadline for Submission of Preapplication/Application for Airport
Grant Funds Under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) for Fiscal Year
1995
agency: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
action: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
summary: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces January
31, 1995, as the deadline for the submission of preapplications and
applications for airport grant funds under the Airport Improvement
Program (AIP) for fiscal year 1995.
for further information contact: Mr. Stanley Lou, Manager, Programming
Branch, Airports Financial Assistance Division, Office of Airport
Planning and Programming, APP-520, on (202) 267-8809.
supplementary information: Section 47105(f) of the Codification of
Certain U.S. Transportation Laws as Title 49, United States Code,
Public Law No. 103-272, (July 5, 1994), provides that the sponsor of
each airport to which entitlement funds are apportioned shall notify
the Secretary, by such time and in a form as prescribed by the
Secretary, of the sponsor's intent to apply for passenger and cargo
entitlement funds. Notification of the sponsor's intent to apply during
fiscal year 1995 for any of its entitlement funds, including those
unused from prior years, shall be in the form of a project
preapplication or application (SF 424) submitted to the FAA field
office no later than January 31, 1995.
The FAA also recommends that all other airports or planning
agencies expecting to apply for airport grant funds do so early in the
fiscal year. Such prospective applicants should contact the appropriate
FAA field office for information on that office's deadline. These
offices will assist in the preparation of preapplications/applications
and provide procedural information as needed.
Prompt submission of complete requests by the deadline date will
allow earlier funding decisions by the FAA regarding the availability
of discretionary funds for program changes. It will permit completion
of procedural requirements necessary for placing projects under grant
and beginning construction in a timely manner within the fiscal year
1995 construction season. To achieve this, Airport sponsors should work
with their respective FAA field offices to meet the deadlines
established by those offices for completion of documentation for final
applications, including construction bid prices, in order to have all
entitlement funds under grant as early as possible in the fiscal year.
Every effort should be made to have projects under grant by August 15,
1995. Failure to meet these deadlines could result in the deferral of
award of a sponsor's entitlement funds until next fiscal year.
Issued in Washington, DC, December 2, 1994.
Stan Lou,
Manager, Programming Branch.
