Looking Ahead at Funding
• Reauthorization expires end of FY 2015
• FAA Management Advisory Council (MAC) - a committee Congress
created to advise FAA management on policy, spending, and
regulatory matters.
• MAC has been meeting with industry stakeholders and are focused
on three principle areas in making recommendations for the next
reauthorization bill:
– FAA service
– FAA funding
– FAA governance
• As we grapple with the future of what the FAA looks like, how it is
funded, and how we provide service, we look forward to working
with all stakeholders and getting your valuable ideas and input for
the next reauthorization.

Hot Topics for Airports
Safety
•Runway Safety Areas – FAA is wrapping up a 15 year effort to improve
all Runway Safety Areas at air carrier airports. This is a congressional
mandate that must be complete by the end of calendar year 2015.
•Runway Incursions – The prevention of runway incursions continues to
be a high safety priority of the FAA. The Office of Airports recently took
an in depth look at runway incursion data for a six year period. We
found that airport geometry played an important role in many of these
incidents. The Office of Airports is developing a new comprehensive
and multiyear program to work with airports to identify, prioritize, and
implement projects to correct these confusing airport geometry to
reduce runway incursions. (Runway Incursion Mitigation (RIM) Program)

Sign and Markings - There have been several sign and marking
standards changes over the last couple of years. We encourage
sponsors to review these Advisory Circulars and ensure your
airports meet the standards.
Wildlife – Please review your wildlife hazard assessment and
management plan and update as necessary.
Safety Management Systems (SMS) – FAA continues to
implement internal SMS all Large, Medium and soon Small hub
airports. This is a comprehensive user wide look at the overall
safety of airport development projects. We also continue to
pursue rulemaking for the implementation of SMS at 14 CFR part
139 airports.

Compliance
•Use of Airport Revenue/FAA Policy on Aviation Fuel Taxes - The FAA
issued its final policy on proceeds from taxes on aviation fuel for
publication in the Federal Register on November 7, 2014. This action
finalizes the amendment of FAA’s Policy and Procedures Concerning
the Use of Airport Revenues (Revenue Use Policy).
•The FAA’s Final Revenue Use Policy considers state or local taxes on
aviation fuel (except taxes in effect on December 30, 1987) to be airport
revenue subject to the revenue-use requirement. However, state and
local taxes on aviation fuel may be used to support state aviation
programs or for noise mitigation purposes, on or off airport. The policy
amendment applies prospectively to the use of proceeds from both new
taxes and to existing taxes that do not qualify for grandfathering from
revenue use requirements. States and counties have one year from
December 8, 2014 to develop a plan to comply and the plan should take
no more than 3 years to implement.

Compliance Continued:
Non-Aeronautical use – Last year FAA issued a policy of nonaeronautical use of aviation facilities. This policy actually takes
a common sense approach to use of aviation facilities on your
airport and allows for exceptions based on aviation need.
Leases – It is important to charge fair market value for non
aeronautical leases. FAA must review these leases prior to
execution.
Commercial Space – A letter will be going to all airport sponsors
of NPIAS airports asking for early coordination if interested in
space activity at your airport.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems - Public UAS activity is provided through
the Certificate of Authorization (COA) or Waiver process, which allows
specific public agency and aircraft access to specific airspace during
specified hours. The COA process allows UAS to be accommodated in
the NAS today. Most of today’s UAS activity is by small UAS that are
not runway dependent and operate from non-airport locations.
To date based on reauthorization language, we have issued approval for
6 test sites and waivers for commercial use in the film making, aerial
surveying, oil and gas flare stack monitoring, and construction
monitoring.
The FAA has established the UAS Integration Office to provide a onestop portal for information. Information can be found on the FAA
website at www.faa.gov/uas

Project Coordination - We can be extremely helpful in project
coordination both on and off the airport, but the key in this is early
coordination.
– We want to ensure you do not inadvertently impact your airport with both on or
off airport development. Potential impacts include – limiting future growth of
your airport both physically and financially or reducing capacity through
airspace restrictions
– We want to make sure you are compliant with laws and regulations such as
NEPA, 14 CFR part 77 and part 139; and in compliance with grant assurances.
Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) – On September 27, 2012, the FAA
Office of Airports issued interim guidance to clarify FAA
Advisory Circular 5300-13 Airport Design. This guidance
requests airport sponsors to provide an alternative analysis for
any new or modified land use in the RPZ.

Next Generation Transportation System (NEXTGEN) Why do we need to modernize?
• January 1, 1914 marks the beginning of commercial aviation. 65 Billion
passengers in the first 100 years. 65 Billion passengers in the next 15 years.
Here are some interesting facts about aviation:
• Aviation employs 11 million people and makes up 5.6% of our gross domestic
product. It enables $1.3 trillion in travel and tourism and ships 40% of the
world goods.
• On any given day, more than 70,000 flights are in the skies in the United
States.
• At any given moment, roughly 5,000 planes are in the skies above the United
States.
• In one year, air traffic handles an average of 64 million takeoffs and landings.
• We are modernizing because we have to. Modernization means greater
safety, efficiency, fuel savings, and a better environment.

•Modernized Air Traffic Management Platform (100% complete)
•Sharing Surface Surveillance Data – Installation of Airport Surface
Detection Equipment ASDE-X at 35 busiest airports
•Keeping Track of Ground Vehicles with ADS-B Out – 44 airports with ADS-B
out can install transponders or squitters to track vehicle movement.
•Collaborative Decision Making – All airport users sharing real time data to
better make decisions.
•Performance Based Navigation – RNAV and PBN approaches which allow
aircraft to fly paths not able to in the past. Evaluating 13 Metroplexes across
