DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
 

Innovative Financing Request for Information

agency: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

action: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

summary: The Federal Aviation Administration requests information and 
assistance in exploring innovative financing concepts for critically 
needed airport development. The FAA requests that interested parties 
provide information that will assist the agency in evaluating the 
merits of the alternative mechanisms under consideration. In addition, 
interested parties are invited to propose other concepts or mechanisms, 
not identified in this notice but worthy of consideration, that may 
enhance the leveraging of Federal grant and local funds. The concepts 
identified thus far for inclusion in the FAA's study are:

Loans of Federal funds.
Federal Guarantees for loan repayment.
AIP or Federal funding of loan insurance, or other enhancements for 
borrower debt, including utilizing unobligated AIP contract authority 
and/or unobligated balances in the Airport and Airway trust fund.
AIP funding for debt service reserves.
Identification and elimination of Federal policy impediments to private 
investment in airport development.

    In addition to information on these or other financing mechanisms, 
comments on which types of airports, or which types of development 
projects may be most benefited from any of these or other financing 
mechanisms are welcomed.

the Federal Aviation Administration in preparing this study.
