Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.

Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on January 5, 2023 (88 FR 900). Codification of certain U.S. Transportation laws at 49 U.S.C., repealed the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as amended, and the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979, as amended, and re-codified them without substantive change at Title 49 U.S.C., which is referred to as the “Act.” The Act provides funding for airport planning and development projects at airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. The Act also authorizes funds for noise compatibility planning and to carry out noise compatibility programs. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), provided approximately $20 billion for airport infrastructure, terminal development, including multimodal terminal development and on-airport rail access projects, and airport owned towers. The information required by these programs is necessary to protect the Federal interest in safety, efficiency, and utility of the Airport. Data is collected to meet reporting requirements of 2 CFR part 200 for certifications of domestic preferences and representations, financial management and performance measurement.

Respondents: Approximately 22,362.

Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.

Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 8.2 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: Approximately 182,675 hours.

Issued in Washington, DC, on May 31, 2023.
