BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Deadline for Notification of Intent to 

Use the Airport Improvement Program 

(AIP) Primary, Cargo, and Nonprimary 

Entitlement Funds for Fiscal Year 2011 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces 

February 22, 2011, as the deadline for 

each airport sponsor to notify the FAA 

whether or not it will use its fiscal year 

2011 entitlement funds available under 

Public Law 111–322 to accomplish 

Airport Improvement Program (AIP)- 

eligible projects that the sponsor 

previously identified through the 

Airports Capital Improvement Plan 

(ACIP) process during the preceding 

year. If a sponsor does not declare their 

intention regarding their fiscal year 

2011 entitlement funds by February 22, 

2011, FAA will be unable to take the 

necessary actions to award these funds, 

nor designate these funds as ‘‘protected’’ 

carryover funds. In addition, these 

funds will not be carried over without 

a legislative enactment that provides an 

additional AIP authorization and an 

extension of the FAA’s spending 

authority from the Airport and Airway 

Trust Fund beyond March 31, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Frank J. San Martin, Manager, Airports 

Financial Assistance Division, APP– 

500, on (202) 267–3831. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 49 of 

the United States Code, section 47105(f), 

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 had entitlement funds 

apportioned to them, except those 

nonprimary airports located in 

designated Block Grant States. Sponsors 

intending to apply for any of their 

available entitlement funds, including 

those unused from prior years, shall 

submit by February 22, 2011, a written 

indication to the designated Airports 

District Office (or Regional Office in 

regions without Airports District 

Offices) that they will submit a grant 

application prior to February 25, 2011, 

or by a prior date established by the 

designated Airport District or Regional 

Office. 

This notice is promulgated to 

expedite and prioritize the grant-making 

process. In the past when there has been 

full-year funding for AIP, the FAA has 

established a deadline of May 1 for an 

airport sponsor to declare whether it 

will apply for, or defer use of its 

entitlement funding. Considering that 

Congress has authorized the AIP 

program only until March 31, 2011, i.e. 

into the middle of a fiscal year, the FAA 

is establishing February 22, 2011, as the 

deadline for each airport sponsor to 

notify the FAA whether or not it will 

use its fiscal year 2011 entitlement 

funds. 

The AIP grant program is operating 

under the requirements of Public Law 

111–329, the ‘‘Airport and Airway 

Extension Act of 2010, Part IV’’, enacted 

on December 22, 2010, which amends 

49 U.S.C. 48103, to extend AIP through 

March 31, 2011. The FAA’s expenditure 

authority from the Airport and Airway 

Trust Fund will also expire on March 

31, 2011, in the absence of an additional 

statutory extension. Therefore, to avoid 

the risk of not being able to carryover 

funds if an additional extension is not 

enacted, and to allow sufficient time for 

accounting processing, AIP funds 

should be obligated in FAA’s 

accounting records on or before March 

17, 2011. 

Sponsors have three options available 

regarding AIP grants during this period. 

First, sponsors may elect to make an 

application for a grant based on 

entitlements currently available to them. 

Sponsors that elect to take such a grant 

must submit grant applications to the 

FAA no later than February 25, 2011, in 

order to meet the March 17, 2011 

obligation deadline. Second, sponsors 

may elect to wait until after the 

February 22, 2011 notification date for 

protection of carryover entitlements. 

However, if a sponsor does not declare 

their intention regarding the use of 

fiscal year 2011 entitlement funds by 

the February 22, 2011 deadline, FAA 

will be unable to take the necessary 

actions to designate these as ‘‘protected’’ 

carryover funds. In addition, these 

funds would not be carried over without 

a legislative enactment that provides 

additional AIP authorization for fiscal 

year 2011 and extends the FAA’s 

spending authority from the Airport and 

Airway Trust Fund beyond March 31, 

2011. Third, sponsors may elect to 

declare their intention to carryover the 

entitlements by sending written 

notification of such intention by 

February 22, 2011. Unused carryover 

entitlements that have been deferred 

will be available in fiscal year 2012 

pending legislative action to further 

extend authorization and 

appropriations. 

If a statutory extension beyond March 

31, 2011 of the AIP program and the 

FAA’s authority to make expenditures 

from the Trust Fund is enacted, 

additional entitlement funds may be 

available to sponsors. In that case, 

airport sponsors who did not previously 

declare their intention to carryover the 

entitlements must provide a written 

indication by May 1, 2011 to the 

designated Airports District Office (or 

Regional Office in regions without 

Airports District Offices) that they will 

either carryover or use their fiscal year 

2011 entitlements by submitting a grant 

application by August 1, 2011. 

Issued in Washington, DC on January 28, 

2011.

Manager, Airports Financial Assistance 

Division, Office of Airport Planning and 

Programming.
