FY12 AIP Funding
• AIP reauthorization extension
through 2/17/12
Reauthorization
• The short extension does not allow
sufficient time for funding distribution
• A long-term reauthorization bill is
being debated in Congress
• We are hopeful a multi year
reauthorization will be passed this FY

Central Contractor Registration (CCR)
– All grant recipients must have an active registration in
CCR – NO EXCEPTIONS.
– Must update or renew registration once per year to
remain active.
– Registration requires DUNS number.
– CCR/FedReg Search database is available at:
https://www.bpn.gov/ccrsearch/Search.aspx
– CCR helpdesk: (866) 606-8220.

FY12 Environmental Deadline
Environmental documents should be
completed by December 31, 2011
• 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

What’s new for AIP grants?
• New electronic grants payment system (eInvoicing) will
replace ECHO. The new system will be on-line this summer.
• U.S. DOT requires a list of names for all eInvoicing users by
2/15. Sponsors need to provide names to FAA Program
Managers as soon as possible.
• National standardized grant agreement is being developed (it
will replace the master agreement).
• All FY12 grant agreements must be notarized, in addition to
the seal. (additional guidance will be forthcoming).

Are You Ready for FY13?
Ready means that by 12/31/12 you have:
• Planning complete
• Project on an approved ALP
• FAA environmental complete (FONSI, ROD, or
submission of extraordinary circumstance form)
• Airspace review and approval complete
• Design complete and project ready for bid

PFC Fundamentals - timing is everything
Strongly urge advance coordination with
ADO, including review of draft
consultation and application materials
Agency must
give airlines 30
days notice of
consultation
Consultation and public notice
have to be at least 30 days (but
less than 6 months) before
application submitted
FAA Update
FAA has 120 days from
date final, complete
application submitted
Target date
to start
collections
FAA final decision
has to be at least
30 days earlier
Federal Aviation

PFC Recurring Issues
• Project Description
•
Be specific about what you are doing – Drawings are important. Need a
TSA approval for security projects.
•
Provide sufficient detail: location and scope of the project. If applicable,
include dimensions and any major project elements.
• Justification
• Describe the problem and how the project will address that problem.
• Explain the reason for each major project element and the project as a whole
• Include the age and condition of any facility or equipment being replaced.
FAA Update
Federal Aviation
Administration
17
PFC Recurring Issues Continue
Criteria for collection at $4.0 or $4.50 levels
(must achieve one of the following) :
-
Improve air safety (i.e. runway/taxiway rehabilitation)
-
Improve air security (security checkpoint improvements)
-
Increase competition among air carriers (ticketing and baggage
handling improvements)
-
Reduce current or anticipated congestion (terminal expansion,
apron expansion).
-
Reduce the impact of aviation noise on people living near the
airport (residential or school noise reduction program)

Vehicle Pedestrian Deviations
• In FY11, there were 43 Vehicle/Pedestrian related Runway Incursions
(VPD-RIs) in AWP. This is by far the highest number of all Regions.
• To date in FY12, there have been 6 V/PD Runway Incursions in AWP.
– We need your vigilance as we move into spring and summer which are our peak
times for V/PD RIs.
• Reducing VPDs will continue to be a high priority.
– Expect us to investigate each event under the authority of Part 139 and/or Grant
Assurance 19.
– Also expect a quick escalation up the FAA Chain of Command if your airport
experiences repeated VPDs. (More than 2 Runway Incursions or Surface Incidents)
• Other initiatives include:
– Participate in Regional Runway Safety Action Teams and encourage local air traffic
control tower managers to conduct local RSATs at least annually.
– Increased focus on funding of eligible RSAT action items, access control, and
airfield guidance sign projects that may help reduce V/PDs.

Runway Safety Area Program
•
All practicable improvements to RSAs at Part 139 airports, including
NavAids related actions, must be completed by December 30, 2015.
•
AWP program is faced with timing & funding challenges that require
everyone’s attention and commitment to ensure meeting our goals.
•
By the end of 2012, we expect to complete RSA projects at:
- Long Beach
7L-25R
- Prescott
3R-21L
- Arcata
14-32
•
In 2013, we’re expecting to complete RSA projects at:
- Burbank
15-33
- Sonoma 14-32
- San Francisco 10L-28R - Grand Canyon Nat’l Park 3-21
- San Francisco 10R-28L
•
Our Draft 2012 through 2015 ACIP, includes approximately $400 million
in AIP funding for RSA projects. This means that other, lower priority,
projects must be deferred to meet our 2015 goal.

Safety Management System (SMS)
•
Airports implementation of SMS is limited to Large Hub Airport projects only
until further notice. FAA-Air Traffic Organization (ATO) implementation of SMS
may include any project with potential to impact operation of the National
Airspace System.
•
AWP has identified the following large hub airport projects that require further
screening under the SMS process in 2012:
–
–



McCarran (LAS) Two Taxiway Rehabilitations (CSPP).
Honolulu (HNL) Rehabilitate Taxiway Z (design only).
San Francisco (SFO) Runway 10L-28R and 10R-28L Runway Safety Areas.
Los Angeles (LAX) Construct two aprons at Bradley Terminal and Taxiway “T”.
Phoenix (PHX) Rehab Taxiway “B8”.
•
In consultation with the FAA-ATO, we have identified a likely need to conduct
Safety Risk Management Panels (SRMP) for planned major runway rehab
projects at Van Nuys and Deer Valley airports.
•
Other SRMPs may be initiated by FAA-ATO.
