Authority for Grant Assurance 

Modifications 

This notice is published under the 

authority described in subtitle VII, part 

B, chapter 471, sections 47107 and 

47122 of title 49 United States Code 

(U.S.C.). In addition, the statutory 

authorities delegated to the Federal 

Aviation Administration are 

enumerated in title 49 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) 1.83 (‘‘Delegations to 

the Federal Aviation Administration’’). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A sponsor 

(applicant) seeking financial assistance 

in the form of an AIP grant for airport 

planning, airport development, noise 

compatibility planning, or noise 

mitigation under 49 U.S.C., as amended, 

must agree to comply with certain 

assurances. These grant assurances are 

incorporated in, and become part of a 

sponsor’s grant agreement for Federal 

assistance. As need dictates, the FAA 

modifies these assurances to reflect new 

Federal requirements. Notice of such 

modifications is published in the 

Federal Register, and an opportunity for 

public comment is provided. The 

assurances that apply to a sponsor 

depend on the type of sponsor. 

There are four types of AIP grant 

assurances: 

• Airport Sponsor (applicable for 

airport development); 

• Non-Airport Sponsors Undertaking 

Noise Compatibility Program Projects; 

• Planning Agency Sponsors; and 

• Aviation State Block Grant Program. 

The current assurances were 

published on February 28, 2020, at 85 

FR 12048. Prior to the FAA 

Reauthorization Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 

115–254), the assurances were 

published on: 

• September 6, 1984, at 49 FR 35282; 

• February 3, 1988, at 53 FR 3104 and 

amended on September 6, 1988, at 53 

FR 34361; 

• August 29, 1989, at 54 FR 35748; 

• June 10, 1994, at 59 FR 30076; 

• January 4, 1995, at 60 FR 521; 

• June 2, 1997, at 62 FR 29761; 

• August 18, 1999, at 64 FR 45008; 

• August 24, 2004, at 69 FR 52057 

and amended on March 29, 2005, at 70 

FR 15980; 

• March 18, 2011, at 76 FR 15028; 

• April 13, 2012, at 77 FR 22376; and 

• April 3, 2014, at 79 FR 18755.

assurances may be viewed at: https://

Discussion of AIP Grant Assurance 

Modifications 

The FAA proposes making several 

changes to the AIP grant assurances. If 

adopted, these changes will be in effect 

for grants issued on or after a 

subsequent notice in the Federal 

Register finalizing the grant assurances. 

The proposed changes to the AIP grant 

assurances are listed below. The grant 

assurance numbers referenced relate to 

the Airport Sponsor assurance: 

Technical Corrections and Updates 

Because the technical corrections 

have no change on the substance of the 

assurances, these proposed changes, 

including minor edits to grant 

assurances 5, 11, 19, 29, 31, 34, and 37, 

have not been specifically called out. 

For example, the FAA proposes to 

change the title of grant assurance 11 

from ‘‘Pavement Preventive 

Maintenance’’ to ‘‘Pavement Preventive 

Maintenance-Management’’ and 

proposes to correct the citation for the 

Fraud Civil Remedies Act in grant 

assurance 37. The FAA proposes to 

update the list of the applicable 

Advisory Circulars referenced in grant 

assurance 34 that is publicly available 

here: https://www.faa.gov/airports/aip/ 

media/aip-pfc-checklist.pdf. 

The FAA also proposes a number of 

corrections to reflect recodification of 

certain public laws and to add United 

State Code (U.S.C.) section information 

in grant assurance 1 to clarify applicable 

legislation. Additionally, the FAA 

proposes to add the Civil Rights 

Restoration Act of 1987, Public Law 

100–209 to the list of applicable Federal 

Legislation.

Additions to List of Executive Orders 

The FAA proposes to add the 

following Executive Orders: 

• Executive Order 13166 (‘‘Improving 

Access to Services for Persons with 

Limited English Proficiency’’), 

• Executive Order 13985 (‘‘Executive 

Order on Advancing Racial Equity and 

Support for Underserved Communities 

Through the Federal Government’’), 

• Executive Order 13988 (‘‘Preventing 

and Combating Discrimination on the 

Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual 

Orientation’’), 

• Executive Order 14005 (‘‘Ensuring 

the Future is Made in all of America by 

All of America’s Workers’’), and 

• Executive Order 14008 (‘‘Tackling 

the Climate Crisis at Home and 

Abroad’’) to the list of executive orders 

applicable in grant assurance 1. 

Addition of Assurances 23 and 37 to the 

List of Assurances That Apply to Airport 

Planning Undertaken by a Sponsor 

For a planning project, not all of the 

airport sponsor grant assurances apply, 

some project-specific assurances apply 

while the planning project is going on, 

and others continue to apply after the 

planning project is over. The FAA 

proposes to add grant assurance 23, 

Exclusive Rights, and grant assurance 

37, Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, 

to the list of applicable assurances. 

Per 49 U.S.C. 47107, a person 

providing, or intending to provide, 

aeronautical services to the public must 

not be given an exclusive right to the 

airport except if certain specific 

conditions apply. Since Sponsors who 

are receiving funds for planning projects 

must be, at minimum, intending to 

provide airport services, grant assurance 

23 applies when an airport sponsor 

takes a grant for airport planning. 

Per 49 CFR part 26, each Sponsor 

undertaking any project where it is 

receiving grant funds via an agreement 

with FAA is required to have a 

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise 

program, regardless of the type of 

project the Sponsor undertakes. 

Therefore, grant assurance 37 is also 

applicable to Sponsors undertaking 

planning projects. 

Section B Duration and Applicability, 

(3) Airport Planning Undertaken by a 

Sponsor, is now proposed to read: 

Unless otherwise specified in this Grant 

Agreement, only Assurances 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 13, 

18, 23, 25, 30, 32, 33, 34, and 37 in Section 

C apply to planning projects. The terms, 

conditions, and assurances of this Grant 

Agreement shall remain in full force and 

effect during the life of the project; there 

shall be no limit on the duration of the 

assurances regarding Exclusive Rights and 

Airport Revenue so long as the airport is used 

as an airport. 

Updates to Grant Assurance 28, Land 

for Federal Facilities 

The FAA proposes to remove the 

language ‘‘rights in buildings of the 

sponsor’’ from grant assurance 28 

because sponsors are not obligated to 

furnish rent-free space in a facility 

owned by the airport sponsor unless 

otherwise provided for in section 147 of 

the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 

(Pub. L. 115–254). 

Updates to Grant Assurance 30, Civil 

Rights Requirements 

The FAA proposes to update the civil 

rights protected bases to align with, and 

explicitly list, the applicable legal 

authorities. Also, previously, the grant 

assurance indicated that the civil rights 

requirements are applicable to ‘‘any 

activity conducted with, or benefiting 

from, funds received from [the] Grant.’’ 

The FAA proposes to add the word 

‘‘program’’ to better align requirements 

with the Americans with Disability Act 

and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 

1964.
