(1) The airport is a former military 

installation closed or realigned under 

the Title 10 U.S.C. 2687 (announcement 

of closures of large Department of 

Defense installations after September 

30, 1977), or under Section 201 or 2905 

of the Defense Authorization 

Amendments and Base Closure and 

Realignment Acts; or 

(2) The airport is a military 

installation with both military and civil 

aircraft operations. 

The Secretary shall consider for 

designation only those current or former 

military airports, at least partly 

converted to civilian airports as part of 

the national air transportation system, 

that will reduce delays at airports with 

more than 20,000 hours of annual 

delays in commercial passenger aircraft 

takeoffs and landings, or will enhance 

airport and air traffic control system 

capacity in metropolitan areas or reduce 

current and projected flight delays (49 

U.S.C. 47118(c)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

General Description of the Program 

The MAP provides capital 

development assistance to civil airport 

sponsors of designated current (jointuse) military airfields or former military 

airports that are included in the FAA’s 

National Plan of Integrated Airport 

Systems (IAS). Airports designated to 

the MAP may obtain funds from a setaside (currently four percent) of AIP 

discretionary funds for airport 

development, including certain projects 

not otherwise eligible for AIP assistance. 

These airports may also be eligible to 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
60792 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 199 / Monday, October 16, 2006 / Notices 

receive grants from other categories of 

AIP funding. 

Number of Airports 

A maximum of 15 airports per fiscal 

year (FY) may participate in the MAP. 

There are 6 slots available for 

designation or redesignation in FY 2006. 

There are no general aviation slots 

available. 

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 of an additional 

term not to exceed five years. Those 

airports must meet current eligibility 

requirements in 49 U.S.C. 47118 (a) at 

the beginning of each grant period and 

have MAP eligible projects. The FAA 

will evaluate applications for 

redesignation primarily in terms of 

warranted projects fundable only under 

the MAP as these candidates tend to 

have fewer conversion needs than new 

candidates. The FAA wants MAP 

airports to graduate to regular AIP 

participation. 

Eligible Projects 

In addition to eligible AIP projects, 

MAP can fund fuel farms, utility 

systems, surface automobile parking 

lots, hangars, and air cargo terminals up 

to 50,000 square feet. Designated or 

redesignated military airports can 

receive not more than $7,000,000 for 

each fiscal year after 2005 for projects to 

construct, improve, or repair terminal 

building facilities. Designated or 

redesignated military airports can 

receive not more than $7,000,000 for 

each fiscal year after 2005 for MAP 

eligible projects that include hangars, 

cargo facilities, fuel farms, automobile 

surface parking, and utility work. 

Designation Considerations 

In making designations of new 

candidate airports, the Secretary of 

transportation may only designate an 

airport (other than an airport so 

designated before August 24, 1994) if it 

meets the following general 

requirements: 

(1) The airport is a former military 

installation closed or realigned under: 

(A) Section 2687 of Title 10; 

(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); 

(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) 

and 47118(c)(1)). One of the designated 

airports, if included in the NPIAS, may 

be a general aviation (GA) airport 

(public airport other than an air carrier 

airport, 49 U.S.C. 47102(1), (20)) that 

was a former military installation closed 

or realigned under BRAC, as amended, 

or 10 U.S.C. 2687. (See 49 U.S.C. 

47118(g)). A general aviation airport 

must qualify under (1) above. 

In designating new candidate airports, 

the Secretary shall consider if a grant 

would: 

(1) Reduce delays at an airport with 

more than 20,000 hours of annual 

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 would contribute to 

reducing delays and/or how the airport 

would 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, 

have the greatest need of funding to 

convert to, or to incorporate, civil 

airport operations. Newly converted 

airports and new joint-use 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 Airport 

Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP). These 

projects need to be related to 

development of that airport and/or the 

air traffic control system. 

1. The FAA will evaluate candidate 

airports and/or the airports such 

candidate airports would relieve based 

on the following specific factors: 

• Computability 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 the relieved 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 charter 

commercial service; 

• Type and capacity of aircraft 

projected to serve the airport and level 

of operations at the relieved 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 

development needs that, if funded, 

would make the airport a viable civil 

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. 

Standard Form 424: Sponsors may 

obtain this fillable form at http:// 

www.faa.gov/arp.ace/forms/sf424.doc. 

Applicants should fill this form out 

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 

Applicants Project. ‘‘Designation (or 

redesignation) to the Military Airport 

Program’’.

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: 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 199 / Monday, October 16, 2006 / Notices 60793 

(i) 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 and 

not the date the property was deeded to 

the airport sponsor)), 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) and (2) above. 

(B) Qualifications for MAP: 

Submit documents for (1) through (7) 

below: 

(1) Documentation that the airport 

meets the definition of a ‘‘public 

airport’’ as defined in 49 U.S.C. Sec. 

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 should 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 review and approvals 

must indicate that the operator or owner 

of the airport has good title, satisfactory 

to the Secretary, or assures 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. 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 2006. 

(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(22), unless the airport is applying 

for the general aviation slot. 

(6) Documentation that the airport 

owner is an eligible airport ‘‘sponsor’’ as 

defined in 49 U.S.C. 47102(24). 

(7) Documentation that the airport has 

an FAA approved airport layout lan 

(ALP) and a five-year airport capital 

improvement plan (ACIP) indicating all 

eligible grant projects proposed to be 

funded either from the MAP or other 

portions of the AIP. 

(c) Evaluation Factors: 

Submit information on the items 

below to assist in our 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 relieved 

airport. Also, if applicable, information 

on how the airport contributes to air 

traffic system or airport system capacity. 

If served by commercial air carriers, the 

revenue passenger and cargo levels 

should 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 reduced 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 airport capital improvement plan 

(ACIP), including a discussion of major 

projects, their priorities, projected 

schedule for project accomplishment, 

and estimated costs. The ACIP 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 (e.g., 

widening), marking, lighting, 

strengthening, drainage or modifying 

other structures or features in the airport 

environs to meet civil standards for 

airport imaginary surfaces as described 

in 14 CFR part 77. 

• 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 

modifications of airports and airport 

support facilities and equipment, 

including snow removal, aircraft rescue, 

fire fighting buildings and equipment, 

airport security, lighting vaults, and 

reconfiguration or relocation of eligible 

buildings for more efficient civil airport 

operations. 

• Modifications of airport or military 

airfield fuel systems and fuel farms to 

accommodate civil aviation use. 

• Acquisition of additional land for 

runway protection zones, other 

approached protection, or airport 

development. 

• Cargo facility requirements. 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
60794 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 199 / Monday, October 16, 2006 / Notices 

• 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 based operations, and aircraft 

maintenance areas. 

• Modifications 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 (road, 

rail, high-speed rail, 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 

should 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 ALP’s 

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 Military Airport Program 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 above information, they must 

explain: 

(1) Why a redesignation and 

additional MAP eligible project funding 

is needed to accomplish the conversion 

to meet the civil 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 ALP 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 level were insufficient to 

accomplish the airport conversion needs 

and development goals.
