**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


### 3955 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 15 / Monday, January 25, 2010 / Notices

for a six-month period beginning October 1, 2008 and ending on March 31, 2010. The FAA’s expenditure authority from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund will also expire on March 31, 2010, in the absence of an additional statutory extension. Therefore, to avoid the risk of not being able to carryover
funds if an additional extension is not enacted, and to allow sufficient time for accounting processing, AIP funds should be obligated in FAA’s accounting records on or before March

3, 2010.

Sponsors have three options available regarding AIP grants during this period. First, sponsors may elect to make an application for a grant based on entitlements currently available to them. Sponsors that elect to take such a grant must submit grant applications to the FAA no later than February 26, 2010, in order to meet the March 3, 2010 obligation deadline. Second, sponsors may elect to wait until after the February 22, 2010 notification date for protection of carryover entitlements. However, if a sponsor does not declare their intention regarding the use of fiscal year 2010 entitlement funds by the February 22, 2010 deadline, FAA will be unable to take the necessary actions to designate these as ‘‘ protected ’’ carryover funds. In addition, these
funds would not be carried over without a legislative enactment that provides
additional AIP authorization for fiscal year 2010 and extends the FAA’s spending authority from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund beyond March 31, 2010. Third, sponsors may elect to declare their intention to carryover the entitlements by sending written notification of such intention by February 22, 2010. Unused carryover
entitlements that have been deferred will be available in fiscal year 2011 pending legislative action to further
extend authorization and appropriations.

If a statutory extension beyond March 31, 2010 of the AIP program and the FAA’s authority to make expenditures from the Trust Fund is enacted, additional entitlement funds may be available to sponsors. In that case, airport sponsors who did not previously declare their intention to carryover the entitlements must provide a written indication by May 1, 2010 to the designated Airports District Office (or Regional Office in regions without Airports District Offices) that they will either carryover or use their fiscal year 2010 entitlements by submitting a grant application by August 1, 2010. Issued in Washington, DC on January 6,

2010. Frank J. San Martin, Manager, Airports Financial Assistance Division, Office of Airport Planning and Programming.

**Environmental Impact Statement: Davis and Weber Counties, UT** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice of Intent.

**SUMMARY :**  The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared for a proposed transportation improvement project in Davis and Weber Counties, Utah.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Ed Woolford, Environmental Program Manager or Paul Ziman, Area Manager, Federal Highway Administration, 2520 West 4700 South, Suite 9A, Salt Lake City, UT 84118, Telephone: (801) 963– 0182, E-mail: Edward.Woolford@dot.gov

or Paul.Ziman@dot.gov, respectively. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) contact is Randy Jefferies, Project Manager, 166 Southwell Street, Ogden, UT 84404, Telephone: (801) 620–1690, E-mail: rjefferies@utah.gov.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The FHWA, in cooperation with UDOT, will prepare an EIS on a proposal to address projected transportation demand in western Davis and Weber Counties. Although the exact limits of the study area have not been defined, the transportation needs that will be evaluated in the proposal extend northward from about Parrish Lane (400 South) in Centerville in Davis County to about 1200 South in Marriott-Slaterville in Weber County. The eastern limits of the study area extend to I–15 and the western limit will be just east of the Great Salt Lake.

To provide for local and regional travel demands, the regional transportation plan developed by the local Metropolitan Planning Organization, Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), has identified the need for an improved transportation system in the study area. Alternatives underconsideration include (1) Taking noaction (no-build); (2) transportation system management/travel demand management; and (3) build alternatives. A multi-modal evaluation of transportation improvements in the corridor will be the focus of the study. Transportation build alternatives to be studied include, but are not limited to: (1) Collector roadway; (2) freeway; (3) arterial roadway; (4) transit; (5) combinations of any of the above; and (6) other feasible alternatives identified during the scoping process.

Letters describing the proposed action and soliciting comments will be sent to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, and to private organizations and citizens who have previously expressed or are known to have interest in this proposal. A series of public scoping meetings will be held in the study area from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. as follows: February 23, 2010, at Syracuse High School, 665 South 2000 West, Syracuse, UT; February 24, 2010, at Davis County Legacy Events Center (Davis County Fairgrounds) at 151 South 1100 West, Farmington, UT; and, February 25, 2010, at West Weber Elementary School, 4178 West 900 South, Ogden, UT. Public notices announcing these meetings will be published in the region. Information regarding this meeting and the project may also be obtained through a public Web site, http://www.udot.utah.gov/
westdavis. In addition to the public scoping meetings, public hearings will
be held after the draft EIS has been prepared. The draft EIS will be available for public and agency review and comment before the public hearing.

To ensure that a full range of issues related to the proposed action are addressed and all significant issues identified, comments and suggestions are invited from all interested parties. Comments or questions concerning the proposed action and the EIS should be
directed to the FHWA at the address provided above by March 22, 2010.
