SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Expedited Delivery of 
Airport Infrastructure Act of 2020’’. 
SEC. 2. ALLOWABLE COST STANDARDS FOR AIRPORT DE-
VELOPMENT PROJECTS. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Section 47110(b)(1) of title 49, 
United States Code, is amended— 
(1) by striking ‘‘(1) if the cost necessarily’’ and 
inserting ‘‘(1)(A) if the cost necessarily’’; 
(2) by striking the semicolon at the end and in-
serting ‘‘; or’’; and 
(3) by adding at the end the following: 
‘‘(B) if the cost is an incentive payment in-
curred in carrying out the project described in sub-
paragraph (A) that is to be provided to a contractor 
upon early completion of a project, if— 
‘‘(i) such payment does not exceed the less-
er of 5 percent of the initial construction con-
tract amount or $1,000,000; 
‘‘(ii) the level of contractor’s control of, or 
access to, the worksite necessary to shorten the 
duration of the project does not negatively im-
pact the operation of the airport; 
‘‘(iii) the contract specifies application of 
the incentive structure in the event of unfore-
seeable, non-weather delays beyond the control 
of the contractor; 
‘‘(iv) nothing in any agreement with the 
contractor prevents the airport operator from 
retaining responsibility for the safety, efficiency, 
and capacity of the airport during the execution 
of the grant agreement; and 
‘‘(v) the Secretary determines that the use 
of an incentive payment is likely to increase air-
port capacity or efficiency or result in cost sav-
ings as a result of shortening the project’s du-
ration;’’. 
(b) TECHNICAL CORRECTION.—Section 47110(e)(7) 
of title 49, United States Code, is amended by striking 
‘‘(7) PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM AIRPORTS.—’’ and insert-
