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.

Manager, Programming Branch.
