Implementation Team, FAA Office of 

Airports, at our FAA BIL email address: 

9-ARP-BILAirports@faa.gov or Robin K. 

Hunt at 202–267–3263. 

A. Program Description 

BIL established the ATP, a 

competitive discretionary grant 

program, which provides approximately 

$1 billion in grant funding annually for 

five years (Fiscal Years 2022–2026) to 

upgrade, modernize, and rebuild our 

nation’s airport terminals and sponsorowned Airport Traffic Control Towers 

(ATCTs). This includes bringing airport 

facilities into conformity with current 

standards; constructing, modifying, or 

expanding facilities as necessary to meet 

demonstrated aeronautical demand; 

enhancing environmental sustainability; 

encouraging actual and potential 

competition; and providing a balanced 

system of airports to meet the roles and 

functions necessary to support civil 

aeronautical demand. This program also 

supports the President’s goals to 

mobilize American ingenuity to build 

modern infrastructure and an equitable, 

clean energy future. In support of 

Executive Order 13985, Advancing 

Racial Equity and Support for 

Underserved Communities Through the 

Federal Government (86 FR 7009), the 

FAA encourages applicants to consider 

how the project will address the 

challenges faced by individuals in 

underserved communities and rural 

areas. 

The ATP falls under the project grant 

authority for the Airport Improvement 

Program (AIP) in 49 United States Code 

(U.S.C.) § 47104. Per 2 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) Part 200—Uniform 

Administrative Requirements, Cost 

Principles, and Audit Requirements for 

Federal Awards the AIP Federal 

Assistance Listings Number is 20.106, 

with the objective to assist eligible 

airports in the development and 

improvement of a nationwide system 

that adequately meets the needs of civil 

aeronautics. The FY 2022 ATP will be 

implemented, as appropriate and 

consistent with BIL, in alignment with 

the priorities in Executive Order 14052, 

Implementation of the Infrastructure 

Investments and Jobs Act (86 FR 64355), 

which are to invest efficiently and 

equitably, promote the competitiveness 

of the U.S. economy, improve 

opportunities for good-paying jobs with 

the free and fair choice to join a union 

by focusing on high labor standards, 

strengthen infrastructure resilience to 

all hazards including climate change, 

and to effectively coordinate with State, 

local, Tribal, and territorial government 

partners. 

Consistent with statutory criteria and 

Executive Order 14008, Tackling the 

Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad (86 

FR 7619), the FAA also seeks to fund 

projects under the ATP that reduce 

greenhouse gas emissions and are 

designed with specific elements to 

address climate change impacts. 

Specifically, the FAA is looking to 

award projects that align with the 

President’s greenhouse gas reduction 

goals, promote energy efficiency, 

support fiscally responsible land use 

and transportation efficient design, 

support terminal development 

compatible with the use of sustainable 

aviation fuels and technologies, increase 

climate resilience, incorporate 

sustainable pavement and construction 

materials as allowable, and reduce 

pollution. 

B. Federal Award Information 

The ATP is a $5 billion grant program, 

distributed as approximately $1 billion 

annually for five years (Fiscal Years 

2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026), 

subject to annual allocations limitations 

based on airport roles found in the 

published National Plan of Integrated 

Airport Systems (NPIAS), as updated 

with current year data. In general, the $5 

billion in ATP grant funding is subject 

to the following annual award allocation 

limitations: Not more than 55% shall be 

for large hub airports, not more than 

15% shall be for medium hub airports, 

not more than 20% shall be for small 

hub airports, and not less than 10% 

shall be for nonhub and nonprimary 

airports. 

The FAA will consider projects that 

increase capacity and passenger access; 

projects that replace aging 

infrastructure; projects that achieve 

compliance with the Americans with 

Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. 12101, et 

seq.) and expand accessibility for 

persons with disabilities; projects that 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 38 / Friday, February 25, 2022 / Notices 10891 

improve airport access for historically 

disadvantaged populations; projects that 

improve energy efficiency, including 

upgrading environmental systems, 

upgrading plant facilities, and achieving 

Leadership in Energy and 

Environmental Design (LEED) 

accreditation standards; projects that 

improve airfield safety through terminal 

relocation; and projects that encourage 

actual and potential competition. This 

includes applicable Executive Orders as 

listed in Section E.2. Additionally, the 

FAA will provide preference to projects 

that complete a development objective, 

and priority to projects that have 

received partial awards. 

Projects for relocating, reconstructing, 

repairing, or improving an airportowned ATCT will also be considered. In 

addition to the considerations above, 

these projects will also be evaluated 

based on overall impact on the national 

airspace system including age of facility, 

operational constraints, and 

nonstandard facilities. The FAA will 

publish a NOFO annually to announce 

additional funding made available, 

approximately $1 billion per year, for 

Fiscal Years 2023–2026.

E. Application Review Information 

1. Criteria 

Applications for FY 2022 ATP will be 

rated using the following criteria: 

i. Must meet eligibility requirements 

under the ATP, which includes terminal 

development (including multimodal 

terminal development) as defined in 49 

U.S.C. 47102(28), on-airport rail access 

projects, or airport-owned ATCT 

relocation, reconstruction, repair, or 

improvements. 

ii. Timeliness of implementation, 

with priority given to those projects that 

can satisfy all statutory and 

administrative requirements for grant 

award in FY 2022. 

iii. Favorable consideration will be 

given to eligible and justified terminal 

development (including multimodal 

terminal development), on-airport rail 

access projects, and ATCT projects that: 

a. Increase capacity and passenger 

access: The applicant should describe 

the extent to which the project 

contributes to the functioning and 

growth of the economy, including the 

extent to which the project addresses 

congestion or service gaps in rural areas. 

The applicant should demonstrate how 

the proposed project increases capacity, 

provides ongoing market access to the 

airport by competing carriers as 

economic and competitive conditions 

change, as well as how it contributes to 

the functioning and growth of the 

economy, including the extent to which 

the project addresses congestion or 

service gaps in rural areas. The 

applicant should demonstrate how the 

proposed project increases capacity and 

market access or relieves congestion 

based on current and/or forecast needs. 

b. Replace aging infrastructure: 

Applicants should describe how the 

project addresses replacing or upgrading 

facilities that have reached the end of 

their useful life. This includes 

information on the current age and 

condition of the asset that will be 

affected by the project and how the 

proposed project will improve asset 

condition. The applicant should 

describe how the facility no longer 

meets the current or forecasted 

operational needs of the airport. This 

includes the renovation, expansion, or 

replacement of a facility that is too 

small or cannot efficiently meet current 

or future demand. This also includes 

projects aimed at terminal 

modernization or upgrades to meet the 

changing user or community 

expectations. This can be met by 

including multimodal terminal 

development, climate resiliency, 

sustainability initiatives and practices 

incorporated therein, all with the goal of 

providing a terminal that focuses on the 

most efficient movement of passengers 

and baggage possible. This also includes 

projects that address changing 

environmental conditions and improve 

resilience to climate change, and that 

will be constructed consistent with the 

Federal Flood Risk Management 

Standard, to the extent consistent with 

current law. 

c. Achieve compliance with the 

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 

including expand accessibility for 

persons with disabilities: Applicants 

should describe how the project 

increases mobility, expands access, and 

improves connectivity for people with 

disabilities both inside and outside the 

terminal or ATCT. The information 

should demonstrate how the proposed 

project will meet the requirements 

under the Americans with Disabilities 

Act and improve equitable access for 

people with disabilities. 

d. Improve airport access for 

historically disadvantaged populations: 

Applicants should describe how the 

project increases mobility, expands 

access, and improves connectivity for 

historically disadvantaged populations. 

The information should demonstrate 

how the proposed project provides a 

significant local and regional impact 

and benefits historically disadvantaged 

populations. The applicant should 

include a description of public 

engagement on a local and regional level 

that has occurred, demonstrates 

proactive inclusivity of historically 

disadvantaged communities, and the 

degree to which public comments and 

commitments have been integrated into 

the project. DOT is providing a list of 

communities that meet the definition of 

Historically Disadvantaged 

Communities, available at https://

adip.faa.gov/agis/public/#/ 

disadvantagedCommunities. 

e. Improve energy efficiency including 

upgrading environmental systems, 

upgrading plant facilities, and achieving 

Leadership in Energy and 

Environmental Design (LEED) 

accreditation standards: Applicants 

should provide information 

demonstrating how the proposed project 

will reduce air pollution and 

greenhouse gas emissions from a 

reduction in energy consumption 

through energy efficient design. This 

includes how the project may facilitate 

the airport in achieving LEED 

accreditation standards through reliance 

on alternative energy, water use 

reduction, sustainable site selection and 

development, responsible materials 

selection and waste management, 

incorporating lower-carbon pavement 

and construction materials, enhanced 

indoor environmental quality, use of 

terminal facility for renewable energy 

production, or other sustainability 

efforts (e.g., vehicle charging stations 

attached to the terminal) that further 

reduce long-term impact on climate. A 

proposed project, including utility 

support facilities, should be part of an 

overall plan that sets targets to lower 

carbon emissions, working toward a 

carbon-neutral airport by 2050. 

f. Improve airfield safety through 

terminal relocation: Applicants should 

describe how the proposed terminal 

project is improving airfield safety 

through the relocation of the terminal 

building or its components. This could 

also include a project to relocate a 

terminal that assists in addressing 

nonstandard airfield configurations. 

g. Encourage actual and potential 

competition: The applicant should 

describe the extent to which the project 

promotes competition in air service by 

providing greater ability to 

accommodate new entrants; increasing 

the ability of competing air carriers to 

access constrained facilities on an 

ongoing basis; and facilitating the 

efficient, and reliable movement of 

passengers and cargo. The applicant 

may also wish to describe how the 

project will offer regional and national 

impacts by improving the economic 

strength of regions and cities; increase 

opportunities for tourism; result in longterm job creation by supporting goodVerDate Sep<11>2014 16:44 Feb 24, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00129 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\25FEN1.SGM 25FEN1

contractors, and sub-contractors); use of 

project labor agreements; distribution of 

workplace rights notices; the use of 

Local Hire Provisions; 1 registered 

apprenticeships; or other similar 

standards or practices. The applicant 

should describe how planned methods 

of project delivery and implementation 

(for example, use of Project Labor 

Agreements and/or Local Hire 

Provisions,2 training and placement for 

underrepresented workers) provide 

opportunities for all workers, including 

workers underrepresented in 

construction jobs to be trained and 

placed in good-paying jobs directly 

related to the project. FAA will consider 

this information in evaluating the 

application. 

2. Review and Selection Process 

Applications will be evaluated based 

on the information submitted related to 

the above criteria in E.1 to ensure 

responsiveness to this NOFO and the 

intent of the ATP. Applicants are 

encouraged to submit projects that meet 

as many of the above criteria as 

possible, but do not need to meet all 

criteria to be considered. Federal 

awarding agency personnel will 

evaluate applications based on how well 

the projects meet the criteria in E.1, 

including project eligibility, 

justification, readiness, and the 

availability of matching funds. The FAA 

will also consider projects that advance 

the goals of the following Executive 

Orders: The President’s January 20, 

2021, Executive Order 13990, 

‘‘Protecting Public Health and the 

Environment and Restoring Science to

‘‘Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home 

and Abroad’’; and the President’s July 9, 

2021, Executive Order 14036, 

‘‘Promoting Competition in the 

American Economy.’’ 

3. Integrity and Performance Check 

Prior to making a Federal award with 

a total amount of Federal share greater 

than the simplified acquisition 

threshold, FAA is required to review 

and consider any information about the 

applicant that is in the designated 

integrity and performance system 

accessible through SAM (currently 

FAPIIS) (see 41 U.S.C. 2313). An 

applicant, at its option, may review 

information in the designated integrity 

and performance systems accessible 

through SAM and comment on any 

information about itself that a Federal 

awarding agency previously entered. 

FAA will consider any comments by the 

applicant, in addition to the other 

information in the designated integrity 

and performance system, in making a 

judgment about the applicant’s integrity, 

business ethics, and record of 

performance under Federal awards 

when completing the review of risk 

posed by applicants as described in 

§ 200.206.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Noise Exposure Map Update 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the Noise Exposure 

Maps submitted by City of Chicago 

Department of Aviation for Chicago 

Midway International Airport seq 

(Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act) are in compliance with applicable 

requirements. 

APPLICABLE DATE: The effective date of 

the FAA’s determination on the noise 

exposure maps is February 18, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amy Hanson, Environmental Protection 

Specialist, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Chicago Airports 

District Office, 2300 East Devon 

Avenue, Des Plaines, IL 60018, Phone: 

847–294–7354. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for Chicago Midway International 

Airport are in compliance with 

applicable requirements of Part 150, 

effective February 18, 2022. Under 49 

U.S.C. 47503 of the Aviation Safety and 

Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘the Act’’), an airport 

operator may submit to the FAA noise 

exposure maps which meet applicable 

regulations and which depict noncompatible land uses as of the date of 

submission of such maps, a description 

of projected aircraft operations, and the 

ways in which such operations will 

affect such maps. The Act requires such 

maps to be developed in consultation 

with interested and affected parties in 

the local community, government 

agencies, and persons using the airport. 

An airport operator who has submitted 

noise exposure maps that are found by 

FAA to be in compliance with the 

requirements of Federal Aviation 

Regulations (FAR) Part 150, 

promulgated pursuant to the Act, may 

submit a noise compatibility program 

for FAA approval which sets forth the 

measures the operator has taken or 

proposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the noise exposure maps and 

accompanying documentation 

submitted by City of Chicago 

Department of Aviation. The 

documentation that constitutes the 

‘‘noise exposure maps’’ as defined in 

section 150.7 of Part 150 includes: 

Exhibit 3–1 and Exhibit 4–1 of the Part 

150 study document. The FAA has 

determined that these noise exposure 

maps and accompanying documentation 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on February 18, 2022. 

FAA’s determination on an airport 

operator’s noise exposure maps is 

limited to a finding that the maps were 

developed in accordance with the 

procedures contained in appendix A of 

FAR Part 150. Such determination does 

not constitute approval of the 

applicant’s data, information or plans, 

or a commitment to approve a noise 

compatibility program or to fund the 

implementation of that program. If 

questions arise concerning the precise 

relationship of specific properties to 

noise exposure contours depicted on a 

noise exposure map submitted under 

section 47503 of the Act, it should be 

noted that the FAA is not involved in 

any way in determining the relative 

locations of specific properties with 

regard to the depicted noise contours, or 

in interpreting the noise exposure maps 

to resolve questions concerning, for 

example, which properties should be 

covered by the provisions of section 

47506 of the Act. These functions are 

inseparable from the ultimate land use 

control and planning responsibilities of 

local government. These local 

responsibilities are not changed in any 

way under Part 150 or through FAA’s 

review of noise exposure maps. 

Therefore, the responsibility for the 

detailed overlaying of noise exposure 

contours onto the map depicting 

properties on the surface rests 

exclusively with the airport operator 

that submitted those maps, or with 

those public agencies and planning 

agencies with which consultation is 

required under section 47503 of the Act. 

The FAA has relied on the certification 

by the airport operator, under section 

150.21 of FAR Part 150, that the 

statutorily required consultation has 

been accomplished. 

The full noise exposure map 

documentation and of the FAA’s 

evaluation of the maps is available for 

examination at the https://

www.flychicago.com/community/ 

mdwnoise.
