BILLING CODE 4910–13–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 2010 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces 

February 22, 2010, as the deadline for 

each airport sponsor to notify the FAA 

whether or not it will use its fiscal year 

2010 entitlement funds available under 

Public Law No. 111–117 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 

2010 entitlement funds by February 22, 

2010, 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, 2010. 

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, 2010, 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 26, 2010, 

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, 2010, i.e. 

into the middle of a fiscal year, the FAA 

is establishing February 22, 2010, as the 

deadline for each airport sponsor to 

notify the FAA whether or not it will 

use its fiscal year 2010 entitlement 

funds. 

The AIP grant program is operating 

under the requirements of Public Law 

No. 111–116, the ‘‘Federal Aviation 

Administration Extension Act, Part II’’, 

enacted on December 16, 2009, which 

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