Notice of Opportunity To Participate, 

Criteria Requirements and Application 

Procedure for Participation in the 

Military Airport Program (MAP) 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of criteria and 

application procedures for designation 

or redesignation, in the Military Airport 

Program (MAP), for the fiscal year 2012. 

SUMMARY: This notice supplements the 

Federal Register Notice of September 

22, 2011 and implements Military 

Airport Program (MAP) changes in the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, 

Public Law 112–91, February 14, 2012. 

This supplementary notice announces 

the criteria, application procedures, and 

schedule to be applied by the Secretary 

of Transportation in designating or 

redesignating, and funding capital 

development annually for up to 3 

current (joint-use) or former military 

general aviation airports seeking 

designation or redesignation to 

participate in the MAP. Of the 15 

current (joint-use) or former MAP slots 

the new legislation permits up to 3 

general aviation airports to be selected 

for the program. Applicants who 

previously submitted applications based 

on the September 22, 2011 Federal 

Register notice do not need to reapply. 

Their applications will be considered 

for Fiscal Year 2012 MAP along with 

any applications received from 

additional general aviation airports as a 

result of this supplemental notice. 

The MAP allows the Secretary to 

designate current (joint-use) or former 

military airports to receive grants from 

the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). 

The Secretary is authorized to 

designate an airport (other than an 

airport designated before August 24, 

1994) only if: 

(1) The airport is a former military 

installation closed or realigned under 

the Title 10 U.S.C. Sec. 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)). 

DATES: Applications must be received 

on or before April 16, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit an original and two 

copies of Standard Form (SF) 424, 

‘‘Application for Federal Assistance,’’ 

prescribed by the Office of Management 

and Budget Circular A–102, available at 

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

forms/media/aip_sf424_2010.pdf along
