DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

[Docket No. 2011–0786] 

Notice of FAA Intent To Carry Over 

Airport Improvement Program (AIP) 

Entitlement Funds 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: By 12 p.m. prevailing local 

time on Friday, August 12, 2011, airport 

sponsors eligible to receive entitlement 

funds under the Airport Improvement 

Program (AIP) must notify, in writing, 

the designated representative in the 

appropriate FAA Regional or Airports 

District Office if they intend to submit 

a final grant application in support of 

eligible projects with their fiscal year 

2011 and/or prior-year entitlement 

funds. This notice must address all 

entitlement funds apportioned for fiscal 

year 2011, regardless of whether the 

FAA has authority to obligate those 

funds. After that deadline, the FAA will 

carry over all remaining entitlement 

funds, and the funds will not be 

available again until at least the 

beginning of fiscal year 2012. This 

notification requirement does not apply 

to non-primary airports covered by the 

block-grant program. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Frank J. San Martin, Manager, Airports 

Financial Assistance Division, APP– 

500, on (202) 267–3831. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Availability of Documents 

You can get an electronic copy of this 

policy and all other documents in this 

docket using the Internet by: 

(1) Searching the Federal 

eRulemaking portal (http:// 

www.regulations.gov/search); 

(2) Visiting the FAA’s Regulations and 

Policies Web page at http:// 

www.faa.gov/regulations_policies; or 

(3) Accessing the Government 

Printing Office’s Web page at http:// 

www.gpoaccess.gov/index.html. 

You can also get a copy by sending a 

request to the Federal Aviation 

Administration, Airports Financial 

Assistance Division, Office of Airport 

Planning and Programming, 800 

Independence Avenue, SW., 

Washington, DC 20591, or by calling 

(202) 267–3831. Make sure to identify 

the docket number, notice number, or 

amendment number of this proceeding. 

Title 49 of the United States Code, 

Chapter 471, allows the FAA to grant 

apportioned or entitlement funds to 

eligible airport sponsors in support of 

eligible projects. Chapter 471 also 

allows the FAA to defer or carry over 

such grants to the following year. In 

such cases, the FAA converts the 

current-year funds to AIP discretionary 

funds, and then protects an equal 

amount of funding to be available to the 

sponsor in the following year, subject to 

legislative action to give the FAA both 

legal authority to issue grants and an 

appropriation of funds. 

Over the five fiscal years from 2003 

through 2007, the FAA converted 

entitlements averaging just over $450 

million annually, representing 

approximately 13 percent of the overall 

amount appropriated for AIP. Beginning 

in fiscal year 2008, that percentage 

increased sharply, to an annual average 

closer to $600 million, representing 

approximately 18 percent of the amount 

appropriated for AIP. 

Chapter 471 requires the FAA to 

establish a deadline for sponsors to 

notify the FAA of their intention to 

request a grant using their available 

entitlement funds. The FAA has 

historically established May 1 as the 

deadline for sponsor notification. By the 

end of July in each of the fiscal years 

from 2006 through 2010, the FAA has 

historically been able to convert at least 

$400 million in entitlement funds based 

on sponsor requests. 

On February 3, 2011, the FAA 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register (23 FR 6178), establishing May 

1, 2011 as the notification deadline. 

However, as of July 20, 2011 (with about 

10 weeks remaining in the fiscal year), 

the FAA has been able to convert only 

about $120 million in carryover based 

on sponsor notifications. This 

represents a significantly slower rate of 

carryover conversion.
