notice, FAA Order 5100–38C, and the

Background 

The Airport Improvement Program is 

an airport grant program, established by 

the Airport and Airway Improvement 

Act of 1982 as amended, 49 U.S.C. 

47101 et seq. (AAIA). Order 5100–38C, 

Airport Improvement Program 

Handbook, issued June 28, 2005, 

contains instructions to FAA employees 

on implementing the AIP. This Order is 

widely used by airports, consultants and 

others. This draft Order will replace 

Order 5100–38C and supersedes most 

Program Guidance Letters (PGLs) issued 

through Fiscal Year 2012. 

Since 2005, there have been 

substantial changes to the laws and 

policies relating to the AIP, including 

the recent FAA reauthorization bill, the 

FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 

2012. 

To incorporate these changes and 

provide the most useful and current 

program guidance to agency employees, 

the Office of Airport Planning and 

Programming, Financial Assistance 

Division has updated and significantly 

revised the Handbook to maximize its 

clarity. This update is a fundamental 

rewrite of FAA Order 5100–38C, the 

current version of the Airport 

Improvement Program Handbook. The 

update clarifies the different 

responsibilities of the FAA Office of 

Airports staff and those of the AIP grant 

sponsor. The basic Handbook includes 

the requirements for all grant projects 

and also includes appendices that can 

be used as a ready-reference for projectspecific requirements. 

Invitation for Public Comment 

While the FAA generally does not 

request public comment on internal 

orders, the agency is offering this 

opportunity for public comment in 

recognition of the interest of all 

segments of the airport community in 

the AIP. The agency will consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

of the comment period in finalizing this 

Order. Comments received after that 

date may be considered if consideration 

will not delay agency action on the 

Order. 

Comments must be submitted on the 

AIP Draft Handbook Comment Form, 

which is available for downloading at: 

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

that are not submitted on the form may 

be considered only if consideration will 

not delay agency action on the Order. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on January 23, 

2013.
