SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces May 1, 
2006, as the deadline for each airport sponsor to notify the FAA that

projects identified in the Airports Capital Improvement Plan that was 
formulated in the spring of 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Barry Molar, Manager, Airports 
Financial Assistance Division, Office of Airport Planning and 
Programming, APP-500, on (202) 267-3831.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 47105(f) of Title 49, United States

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 had entitlement funds apportioned to 
them, except those nonprimary airports located in designated Block 
Grant States. Notification of the sponsor's intent to apply during 
fiscal year 2006 for any of its available entitlement funds including 
those unused from prior years, shall be in the form of inclusion of 
projects for fiscal year 2006 in the Airports Capital Improvement Plan.
    This notice is promulgated to expedite and prioritize grants in the 
final quarter of the fiscal year. Absent an acceptable application by

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, 
2006.
