SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice 

to advise the public of the renewal of 

the RTCA Charter (FAA Order 

1110.77T) for two years, effective April 

2, 2011. The administrator is the

requirements, operational capabilities, 

and the associated use of technology 

and related considerations to 

aeronautical operations that impact the 

future Air Traffic Management System. 

RTCA provides the following two 

categories of recommendations to the 

FAA: Broad gauged policy and 

investment priority recommendations 

used by FAA when considering policy 

and program decisions; and minimum 

performance standards, reports, and 

guidance documents used by the FAA 

in regulatory decisions and rulemaking. 

Government regulatory and 

procurement practices reference or use 

RTCA standards (with or without 

change). The Secretary of 

Transportation has determined that that 

information and use of committee are 

necessary in the public interest in 

connection with the performance of 

duties imposed on the FAA by law.

Federal Aviation Administration 

Commercial Space Transportation 

Grants Program 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of request for grant 

proposals for the Commercial Space 

Transportation Grant Program. 

SUMMARY: This notice solicits Fiscal 

Year (FY) 2011 grant proposals to 

continue the development of a 

Commercial Space Transportation 

infrastructure system, which supports 

the National Space Policy and 

Congressional intent. Begun in 2010, the 

program supports the Commercial Space 

Transportation industry by 

identification, prioritization, and 

funding for Commercial Space 

Transportation infrastructure projects. 

It must be noted that with the FY 

2011 Congressional appropriation not 

yet enacted, the FAA’s Office of 

Commercial Space Transportation (AST) 

does not currently have funding for the 

Commercial Space Transportation 

Grants Program. Should there be an 

appropriation for the Commercial Space 

Transportation Grants Program; the 

FAA/AST intends to swiftly execute 

grant awards within FY 2011. To 

facilitate this, the FAA/AST is 

requesting grant applications at this 

time. The FAA/AST intends to receive, 

process, and evaluate the applications 

in a timely manner, and in accordance 

with the notional schedule listed below, 

so should there be an appropriation, the 

recipients will already be selected and 

the awards can be made within FY 

2011. There remains the possibility that 

no funds will be appropriated in FY 

2011 for the Commercial Space 

Transportation Grants Program. If no 

funds are appropriated, no grant 

applications submitted in response to 

this Notice will be approved and 

funded. 

Due to time constraints, this Notice 

will be the only solicitation made for FY 

2011 projects and proposals. The FAA/ 

AST will review and evaluate all 

applications for a grant received by the 

deadline, pursuant to 49 United States 

Code (U.S.C.) Chapter 703 (to be 

recodified at 51 U.S.C. Chapter 511). 

The FAA/AST may make one or more 

grant awards based upon its evaluations 

of the submissions. All grants awarded 

under the Commercial Space 

Transportation Grants Program are 

discretionary awards. Projects to be 

funded under the Commercial Space 

Transportation Grants Program must 

carry out commercial space 

transportation infrastructure 

development, as defined in 49 U.S.C. 

70301 (to be recodified as 51 U.S.C. 

51101). 

DATES: In order for the FAA/AST to 

award funds (if appropriated) prior to 

the end of FY 2011, the following 

notional schedule is provided. 

Submission Open Period Opens: March 

18, 2011 

Submission Open Period Closes: May 

13, 2011 

Review and Approval Period: May 16, 

2011 thru June 30, 2011 

Announcement: July 15, 2011 

ADDRESSES: Applicants can get more 

information about the Commercial 

Space Transportation Grants Program, to
