Airport Capital Improvement Program

National Priority System; Comment

Request

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of Airport Capital

Improvement Program (ACIP) National

Priority System; opportunity to

comment.

SUMMARY: The FAA is clarifying details

of the ACIP National Priority System.

Comments and recommendations for

improving the effectiveness of the ACIP

National Priority System are solicited.

DATES: Comments and/or

recommendations must be submitted on

or before July 22, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be delivered

or mailed to the FAA, Airports

Financial Assistance Division,

Programming Branch, APP–520, Room

615, 800 Independence Ave, SW,

Washington, DC 20591.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Stan Lou, Manager, Programming

Branch, Airports Financial Assistance

Division, Office of Airport Planning and

Programming, APP–520, on (202) 267–

8809.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FAA

Order 5100.39, ‘‘Airport Capital

Improvement Plan’’ describes

procedures that are intended to guide

the distribution of Airport Improvement

Program (AIP) funds to the highest

priority projects nationally. In order to

implement the ACIP Order, a standard

database has been established. This

database (NPIAS–CIP) provides a

common data structure to compile and

analyze airport development needs. A

key element of this process is the

determination of objective priority

ratings for items of work.

The National Priority is a numerical,

computer-generated system for

prioritizing work items in accordance

with agency goals. The ACIP is used as

a vehicle to evaluate requests for AIP

funded airport development in an

airport’s five year Capital Improvement

Program (CIP).

The ACIP uses a national priority

calculation as prescribed by Order

5100.39. Priority numbers are calculated

based on the size and type of airport

(service level) and the type of project (as

described by the NPIAS–CIP project

codes). The national priority

calculation:

• Provides a standard means to sort

projects from high to low priority.

• Is used to measure how well

funding plans (the ACIP) address the

highest priority needs.

• Imitates the existing AIP priority

system.

• Is not intended to be the sole gauge

for project approval.

The national priority calculation is as

follows:

(P*(APT+C+1)+T)*10+APT

Where:

P=Purpose Points (0 to 5 pts)

Safety/Security=0 pt.

Reconstruction=1 pt.

Standards=2 pts.

Environment=1pt.

Upgade=3 pts.

Capacity=3 pts.

New Airport (Community)= 5 pts.

New Airport (Capacity)=3 pts.

Planning=1 pt.

C=Component Points (1 to 6 pts)

Land=3 pts.

Runway=1 pt.

Taxiway=3 pts.

Apron=4 pts.

Approach Aids=2 pts.

Terminal=5 pts.

Runway/Taxiway Signs=1 pt.

Taxiway Sensors/State Planning =2

pts.

Air Navigation Facilities=2 pts.

Deicing Facilities=1 pt.

Fuel Farm Development=3 pts.

Utility Development=3 pts.

APT=Airport Points (1, 2, 3, or 6 pts).

Airport Points are calculated as

follows:

Primary and Reliever Airports

Large and Medium Hub=1 pt.

Small and Non Hub=2 pts.

Commercial Service Airports=3 pts.

General Aviation Airports

Aircraft/Operations

100 or 50,000=1 pt.

50 or 20,000=2 pts.

20 or 8,000=3 pts.

<20 of <8,000=6 pts.

The ACIP is used to help make AIP

fund allotment decisions for each

airport/development type. Funds are

allotted to regions through two

mechanisms: Commitments and

Priorities. Commitments are projects

that are believed to merit funding

regardless of their relative priority

calculation. These projects typically

include Letters of Intend (LOI) and

‘‘phased’’ projects where it is important

to complete a development program to

derive an acceptable level of benefit for

both the airport and the national system.

Funds for Commitment projects are ‘‘set

aside’’ for each airport/development

category. The remainder of the available

discretionary funds are distributed to

the highest priority projects which

remain unfunded in the ACIP. Priority

distribution uses a priority ‘‘cut-off’’ for

each airport/development category.
