1, 2001, as the deadline for each airport sponsor to have on file with 
the FAA an acceptable fiscal year 2001 grant application for use of the 
funds that were apportioned to it under the AIP earlier this year.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Stan 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 Title 49, United States 
Code, provides that the sponsor of each airport to which 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 the 
funds apportioned to it (entitlements). This notice applies only to 
those airports that have received such entitlements, except those 
nonprimary airports located in designated Block Grant States. 
Notification of the sponsor's intent to apply during fiscal year 2001 
for any of its available entitlement funds including those unused from 
prior years, shall be in the form of a project application submitted to 
the cognizant FAA Airports office no later than May 1, 2001.
    This notice is promulgated to expedite and prioritize grants in the 
final quarter of the fiscal year. Absent an acceptable application by 
May 1, 2001, FAA will defer an airport's entitlement funds until the 
next fiscal year. Pursuant to the authority and limitations in section 
47117(f), FAA will issue discretionary grants in an aggregate amount 
not to exceed the aggregate amount of deferred entitlement funds. 
Airport sponsors may request unused entitlements after September 30, 
2001.
