Inactive Grants
(No Payments > 9 Months)
• FAA needs to explain to DOT reasons for keeping inactive grants open.
• Grant condition requires sponsors to complete projects without undue
delay.
• Sponsors with inactive grants will be considered as elevated risk.
(required additional documentation).
• Grant inactivity is a factor in considering future AIP grants with state
apportionment and discretionary funding.
• FAA may pursue unilateral closeouts for inactive grants.

Airport Environmental
•
Every AIP/PFC funding approval and Airport
Layout Plan approval requires environmental
analysis under the National Environmental
Policy Act.
• Action choices include:
– A simple Categorical Exclusion with no further action
required
– A Categorical Exclusion that requires a review of
possible extraordinary circumstances
– An Environmental Assessment (EA)
– An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
• We also are the FAA focal point for:
– Title 14, CFR, Part 150, Airport Noise Compatibility
Planning
– Title 14, CFR, Part 161, Notice of Approval of Airport
Noise and Access Restrictions

FY14 Environmental Deadline
Environmental documents should be
completed by December 31, 2013
• Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
for Environmental Assessment (EA)
• Record of Decision (ROD) for Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS)
• Submission of extraordinary circumstance
form to support categorical exclusions.

Vehicle Pedestrian Deviations
• We have already exceeded last years rate of Vehicle/Pedestrian
Runway Incursions. Last year we experience a significant reduction. We need your
increased focus on this as we close FY 13 and begin FY 14.
Recommendations to Airport Operators:
1. Train and re-train your staff who drive on the airport.
2. Train and re-train your tenants.
3. Make sure your tenants provide proper escorts for vehicles and pedestrians they give access. (There should be
consequences for not doing so.)
4. Conduct outreach/training for local Law Enforcement and First Responders (Airports are a different environment).
5. Ensure Perimeter Fencing, access controls, and cautionary signage are maintained.
6. “Change the Gate Code” regularly. If you have not done so recently, do it NOW!

Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP)
• All proposed ACIP work elements must be
reflected on an FAA Approved ALP.
• Your ACIP can include all AIP eligible projects
for the 1-5 year planning time frame.
• Your ACIP should be properly sequenced.
• Expectation for AIP funding should be realistic.
The ADO will only support justified projects.
