FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Jonathan DiMartino 

(Jonathan.DiMartino@faa.gov), Airports 

Financial Assistance Division (APP– 

500), Office of Airport Planning and 

Programming, Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), 800 

Independence Avenue SW., 

Washington, DC 20591, (202) 267–8744. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

General Description of the Program 

The MAP provides capital 

development assistance to civil airport 

sponsors of designated current joint-use 

military airfields or former military 

airports that are included in the FAA’s 

National Plan of Integrated Airport 

Systems (NPIAS). Airports designated to 

the MAP may be able to receive grant 

funds from a set-aside (currently four 

percent of Airport Improvement 

Program (AIP) discretionary funds) for 

airport development, including certain 

projects not otherwise eligible for AIP 

assistance. These airports are also 

eligible to receive grants from other 

categories of AIP funding. 

The Secretary considers for 

designation only current joint-use or 

former military airports that meet the 

criteria set forth under ‘‘Designation 

Considerations,’’ below. 

Number of Airports 

A maximum of 15 airports per fiscal 

year may participate in the MAP, of 

which three may be General Aviation 

(GA) airports. There are twelve slots 

available in FY 2017. Of the twelve slots 

available, there are two GA slots 

available in FY 2017. 

Term of Designation 

The maximum term is five fiscal years 

following designation. The FAA can 

designate airports for a period of less 

than five years. The FAA will evaluate 

the conversion needs of the airport in its 

capital development plan to determine 

the appropriate length of designation. 

Redesignation 

Previously designated airports may 

apply for redesignation to an additional 

term or terms that may not exceed five 

years per each. Those airports must 

meet current eligibility requirements 

outlined in 49 U.S.C. 47118(a) at the 

beginning of each grant period. The 

FAA will evaluate applications for 

redesignation primarily in terms of 

justified projects specifically fundable 

only under the MAP as redesignees 

generally tend to have fewer conversion 

needs than new candidates. The FAA’s 

goal is to graduate MAP airports to 

regular AIP participation by 

successfully converting these airports to 

civilian airport operations. 

Eligible Projects 

In addition to eligible AIP projects, 

the MAP can fund fuel farms, utility 

systems, surface automobile parking 

lots, hangars, and air cargo terminals up 

to 50,000 square feet. A designated or 

redesignated military airport can receive 

not more than $7,000,000 in each fiscal 

year to construct, improve, or repair 

terminal building facilities. In addition, 

a designated or redesignated military 

airport can receive not more than 

$7,000,000 each fiscal year for MAP 

eligible projects including hangars, 

cargo facilities, fuel farms, automobile 

surface parking, or utility work. 

Designation Considerations 

The MAP allows the Secretary of 

Transportation to designate current 

joint-use or former military airports 

(other than an airport so designated 

before August 24, 1994) to receive grants 

from the AIP if they meet the following 

general requirements: 

(1) The airport is a former military 

installation closed or realigned under: 

(a) Section 2687 of title 10 

(announcement of closures of large 

Department of Defense installations 

after September 30, 1977); 

(b) Section 201 of the Defense 

Authorization Amendments and Base 

Closure and Realignment Act (BRAC) 

(10 U.S.C. 2687 note); or 

(c) Section 2905 of the Defense Base 

Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 

(10 U.S.C. 2687 note); or 

(2) The airport is a military 

installation with both military and civil 

aircraft operations; and 

(3) The airport is classified as a 

commercial service or reliever airport in 

the NPIAS. (See 49 U.S.C. 47105(b)(2)). 

In addition, three of the designated 

airports, if included in the NPIAS, may 

be GA airports that were former military 

installations closed or realigned under 

BRAC, as amended, or 10 U.S.C. 2687. 

(See 49 U.S.C. 47118(g)). Therefore, a 

GA airport can only qualify under (1) 

above. ‘‘General aviation airport’’ means 

a public airport that is located in a State 

that, as determined by the Secretary: (A) 

does not have scheduled service; or (B) 

has scheduled service with fewer than 

2,500 passenger boardings per year. 

In designating new candidate airports, 

the Secretary shall consider if a grant 

will: 

(1) Reduce delays at an airport with 

more than 20,000 hours of annual 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 235 / Wednesday, December 7, 2016 / Notices 88315 

delays in commercial passenger aircraft 

takeoffs and landings; or 

(2) Enhance airport and air traffic 

control system capacity in a 

metropolitan area or reduce current and 

projected flight delays. 

The application for new designations 

will be evaluated in terms of how the 

proposed projects will contribute to 

reducing delays and/or how the airport 

will enhance air traffic or airport system 

capacity and provide adequate user 

services. 

Project Evaluation 

Recently realigned or closed military 

airports, as well as active military 

airfields with new joint-use agreements, 

generally have the greatest need of 

funding assistance for conversion to or 

incorporation of civil airport operations. 

Newly converted airports and new jointuse locations frequently have minimal 

capital development resources and will 

therefore receive priority consideration 

for designation and MAP funding. The 

FAA will evaluate the need for eligible 

projects based upon information in the 

candidate airport’s five-year Capital 

Improvement Plan (CIP). 

(1) The FAA will evaluate candidate 

airports and any reliever role that they 

may perform for nearby airports based 

on the following specific factors: 

• Compatibility of airport roles and 

the ability of the airport to provide an 

adequate airport facility; 

• The capability of the candidate 

airport and its airside and landside 

complex to serve aircraft that otherwise 

must use a congested airport; 

• Landside surface access; 

• Airport operational capability, 

including peak hour and annual 

capacities of the candidate airport; 

• Potential of other metropolitan area 

airports to relieve the congested airport; 

• Ability to satisfy, relieve, or meet 

air cargo demand within the 

metropolitan area; 

• Forecasted aircraft and passenger 

levels, type of commercial service 

anticipated, i.e. scheduled or chartered 

commercial service; 

• Type and capacity of aircraft 

projected to serve the airport and level 

of operations at the congested airport 

and the candidate airport; 

• The potential for the candidate 

airport to be served by aircraft or users, 

including the airlines, serving the 

congested airport; 

• Ability to replace an existing 

commercial service or reliever airport 

serving the area; and 

• Any other documentation to 

support the FAA designation of the 

candidate airport. 

(2) The FAA will evaluate the extent 

to which development needs funded 

through the MAP will make the airport 

a viable civilian airport that will 

enhance system capacity or reduce 

delays. 

Application Procedures and Required 

Documentation 

Airport sponsors applying for 

designation or redesignation must 

complete and submit an SF–424, 

Application for Federal Assistance, and 

provide supporting documentation to 

the appropriate FAA Airports regional 

or district office serving that airport. 

Sponsors may obtain this fillable form at 

http://www.faa.gov/airports/aip/. 

Applicants must fill out this form 

completely, including the following: 

• Mark Item 1, Type of Submission as 

a ‘‘pre-application’’ and indicate it is for 

‘‘construction’’. 

• Mark item 8, Type of Application as 

‘‘new’’, and in ‘‘other’’, fill in ‘‘Military 

Airport Program’’. 

• Fill in Item 11, Descriptive Title of 

Applicant’s Project. ‘‘Designation (or 

redesignation) to the Military Airport 

Program’’. 

• Under Item 15a, Estimated Funding, 

indicate the total amount of funding 

requested from the MAP during the 

entire term for which you are applying. 

Supporting Documentation 

A. Identification as a Current or 

Former Military Airport. The 

application must identify the airport as 

either a current or former military 

airport and indicate whether it was: 

(1) Closed or realigned under Section 

201 of the Defense Authorization 

Amendments and Base Closure and 

Realignment Act, and/or Section 2905 of 

the Defense Base Closure and 

Realignment Act of 1990 (Installations 

Approved for Closure by the Defense 

Base Realignment and Closure 

Commissions), or 

(2) Closed or realigned pursuant to 10 

U.S.C. § 2687 as excess property (bases 

announced for closure by Department of 

Defense (DOD) pursuant to this title 

after September 30, 1977 (this is the 

date of announcement for closure)), or 

(3) A military installation with both 

military and civil aircraft operations. A 

general aviation airport applying for the 

MAP may be joint-use but must also 

qualify under (1) or (2) above. 

B. Qualifications for MAP. Submit 

documents for (1) through (8) below: 

(1) Documentation that the airport 

meets the definition of a ‘‘public 

airport’’ as defined in 49 U.S.C. 

§ 47102(20). 

(2) Documentation indicating the 

required environmental review for civil 

reuse or joint-use of the military airfield 

has been completed. This 

environmental review need not include 

review of the individual projects to be 

funded by the MAP. Rather, the 

documentation must reflect that the 

environmental review necessary to 

convey the property, enter into a longterm lease, or finalize a joint-use 

agreement has been completed. The 

military department conveying or 

leasing the property, or entering into a 

joint-use agreement, has the lead 

responsibility for this environmental 

review. To meet AIP requirements, the 

environmental reviews and approvals 

must indicate that the operator or owner 

of the airport has good title that is 

satisfactory to the Secretary or assures, 

to the FAA’s satisfaction, that good title 

will be acquired. 

(3) For a former military airport, 

documentation that the eligible airport 

sponsor holds or will hold satisfactory 

title, a long-term lease in furtherance of 

conveyance of property for airport 

purposes, or a long-term interim lease 

for 25 years or longer to the property on 

which the civil airport is being located. 

Documentation that an application for 

surplus or BRAC airport property has 

been accepted by the Federal 

Government is sufficient to indicate the 

eligible airport sponsor holds or will 

hold satisfactory title or a long-term 

lease. 

(4) For a current military airport, 

documentation that the airport sponsor 

has an existing joint-use agreement with 

the military department having 

jurisdiction over the airport. For all first 

time applicants, a copy of the existing 

joint-use agreement must be submitted 

with the application. This is necessary 

so the FAA can legally issue grants to 

the sponsor. Here and in (3) directly 

above, the airport must possess the 

necessary property rights in order to 

accept a grant for its proposed projects 

during FY 2016. 

(5) Documentation that the airport is 

classified as a ‘‘commercial service 

airport’’ or a ‘‘reliever airport’’ as 

defined in 49 U.S.C. 47102(7) and 

47102(23). 

(6) Documentation that the airport 

owner is an eligible airport ‘‘sponsor,’’ 

as defined in 49 U.S.C. 47102(26). 

(7) Documentation that the airport has 

a five-year CIP indicating all eligible 

grant projects requested to be funded 

either from the MAP or other portions 

of the AIP and an FAA approved 

Airport Layout Plan (ALP). 

(8) For commercial service airports, a 

business/marketing plan or equivalent 

must be submitted with the application. 

For relievers or general aviation 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
88316 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 235 / Wednesday, December 7, 2016 / Notices 

airports, other planning documents may 

be submitted. 

C. Evaluation Factors. Submit 

information on the items below to assist 

in the FAA’s evaluation: 

(1) Information identifying the 

existing and potential levels of visual or 

instrument operations and aeronautical 

activity at the current or former military 

airport and, if applicable, the congested 

airport. Also, if applicable, information 

on how the airport contributes to the air 

traffic system or airport system capacity. 

If served by commercial air carriers, the 

revenue passenger and cargo levels must 

be provided. 

(2) A description of the airport’s 

projected civil role and development 

needs for transitioning from use as a 

military airfield to a civil airport. 

Include how development projects 

would serve to reduce delays at an 

airport with more than 20,000 hours of 

annual delays in commercial passenger 

aircraft takeoffs and landings; or 

enhance capacity in a metropolitan area 

or reduce current and projected flight 

delays. 

(3) A description of the existing 

airspace capacity. Describe how 

anticipated new operations would affect 

the surrounding airspace and air traffic 

flow patterns in the metropolitan area in 

or near the airport. Include a discussion 

of whether operations at this airport 

create airspace conflicts that may cause 

congestion or whether air traffic works 

into the flow of other air traffic in the 

area. 

(4) A description of the airport’s fiveyear CIP, including a discussion of 

major projects, their priorities, projected 

schedule for project accomplishment, 

and estimated costs. The CIP must 

specifically identify the safety, capacity, 

and conversion related projects, 

associated costs, and projected five-year 

schedule of project construction, 

including those requested for 

consideration for MAP funding. 

(5) A description of those projects that 

are consistent with the role of the 

airport and effectively contribute to the 

joint-use or conversion of the airfield to 

a civil airport. The projects can be 

related to various improvement 

categories depending on what is needed 

to convert from military to civil airport 

use, to meet required civil airport 

standards, and/or to provide capacity to 

the airport and/or airport system. The 

projects selected (e.g., safety-related, 

conversion-related, and/or capacityrelated) must be identified and fully 

explained based on the airport’s 

planned use. Those projects that may be 

eligible under MAP, if needed for 

conversion or capacity-related purposes, 

must be clearly indicated and include 

the following information: 

Airside 

• Modification of airport or military 

airfield for safety purposes, including 

airport pavement modifications, 

marking, lighting, strengthening, 

drainage or modifying other structures 

or features in the airport environs to 

meet civil standards for approach, 

departure and other protected airport 

surfaces as described in 14 CFR part 77 

or standards set forth in FAA Advisory 

Circular 150/5300–13. 

• Construction of facilities or support 

facilities, such as passenger terminal 

gates, aprons for passenger terminals, 

taxiways to new terminal facilities, 

aircraft parking, and cargo facilities to 

accommodate civil use. 

• Modification of airport or military 

utilities (electrical distribution systems, 

communications lines, water, sewer, 

storm drainage) to meet civil standards. 

Also, modifications that allow utilities 

on the civil airport to operate 

independently, where other portions of 

the base are conveyed to entities other 

than the airport sponsor or retained by 

the Government. 

• Purchase, rehabilitation, or 

modification of airport and airport 

support facilities and equipment, 

including snow removal, aircraft rescue, 

firefighting buildings and equipment, 

airport security, lighting vaults, and 

reconfiguration or relocation of eligible 

buildings for more efficient civil airport 

operations. 

• Modification of airport or military 

airfield fuel systems and fuel farms to 

accommodate civil aviation use. 

• Acquisition of additional land for 

runway protection zones, other 

approach protection, or airport 

development. 

• Cargo facility requirements. 

• Modifications which will permit 

the airfield to accommodate general 

aviation users. 

Landside 

• Construction of surface parking 

areas and access roads to accommodate 

automobiles in the airport terminal and 

air cargo areas and provide an adequate 

level of access to the airport. 

• Construction or relocation of access 

roads to provide efficient and 

convenient movement of vehicular 

traffic to, on, and from the airport, 

including access to passenger, air cargo, 

fixed base operations, and aircraft 

maintenance areas. 

• Modification or construction of 

facilities such as passenger terminals, 

surface automobile parking lots, 

hangars, air cargo terminal buildings, 

and access roads to cargo facilities to 

accommodate civil use. 

(6) An evaluation of the ability of 

surface transportation facilities (e.g., 

road, rail, high-speed rail, and/or 

maritime) to provide intermodal 

connections. 

(7) A description of the type and level 

of aviation and community interest in 

the civil use of a current or former 

military airport. 

(8) One copy of the FAA-approved 

ALP for each copy of the application. 

The ALP or supporting information 

must clearly show capacity and 

conversion related projects. Other 

information such as project costs, 

schedule, project justification, other 

maps and drawings showing the project 

locations, and any other supporting 

documentation that would make the 

application easier to understand should 

also be included. You may also provide 

photos, which would further describe 

the airport, projects, and otherwise 

clarify certain aspects of this 

application. These maps and ALPs 

should be cross-referenced with the 

project costs and project descriptions. 

Redesignation of Airports Previously 

Designated and Applying for up to an 

Additional Five Years in the Program 

Airports applying for redesignation to 

the MAP must submit the same 

information required by new candidate 

airports applying for a new designation. 

On the SF 424, Application for Federal 

Assistance, prescribed by the Office of 

Management and Budget Circular A– 

102, airports must indicate their 

application is for redesignation to the 

MAP. In addition to the information 

required for new candidates, airports 

requesting redesignation must also 

explain: 

(1) Why a redesignation and 

additional MAP eligible project funding 

is needed to accomplish the conversion 

to meet the civilian role of the airport 

and the preferred time period for 

redesignation (not to exceed five years); 

(2) Why funding of eligible work 

under other categories of AIP or other 

sources of funding would not 

accomplish the development needs of 

the airport; and 

(3) Why, based on the previously 

funded MAP projects, the projects and/ 

or funding levels were insufficient to 

accomplish the airport conversion needs 

and development goals. 

In addition to the information 

requested above, airports applying for 

redesignation must provide a reanalysis 

of their original business/marketing 

plans (for example, a plan previously 

funded by the Office of Economic 

Adjustment or the original Master Plan 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 235 / Wednesday, December 7, 2016 / Notices 88317 

for the airport) and prepare a report. If 

there is not an existing business/ 

marketing plan a business/marketing 

plan or strategy must be developed. The 

report must contain: 

(1) Whether the original business/ 

marketing plan is still appropriate; 

(2) Is the airport continuing to work 

towards the goals established in the 

business/marketing plan; 

(3) Discuss how the MAP projects 

contained in the application contribute 

to the goals of the sponsor and their 

plans; and 

(4) If the business/marketing plan no 

longer applies to the current goals of the 

airport, how has the airport altered the 

business/marketing plan to establish a 

new direction for the facility and how 

do the projects contained in the MAP 

application aid in the completion of the 

new direction and goals and by what 

date does the sponsor anticipate 

graduating from the MAP.
