2. CA Best Practices on ACIP The proposed project(s) should: • Be prioritized and fully justified by the sponsor based on needs. • Be consistent with the following documents: • Airport Master Plan • Airport Layout Plan (ALP) • Airport’s Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program • Runway Safety Action Team (RSAT) Report • Airport’s FAA Pavement Maintenance Management Program (PMMP) and Caltrans Airport Pavement Management System (APMS) • FAR Part 139 inspection report • Caltrans 5010 inspection letters

3. CA Best Practices on ACIP (Cont) The proposed project(s) should: • Meet eligibility requirements of FAA and Caltrans. • Be phased-in if the project is cost prohibitive based on available State and Federal funding. • Be consistent with the national priority system found within FAA Order 5100.39A “Airports Capital Improvement Plan”. A copy of FAA Order 5100.39A can be found in FAA website: www.faa.gov/airports under Airport Improvement Program (AIP). • Be the subject of early communication with FAA and Caltrans to ensure proper analysis pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

4. 2012 – 2015 ACIP Planning • October 18, 2010 - Expect letters requesting sponsor’s ACIPs to come out from FAA and State simultaneously. • January 18, 2011 - Due Date for sponsor submittals

5. 2012 – 2015 ACIP Planning • Be prepared. Expect us to fully consider the following in considering your projects: • AIP 4-year and older grant status • AIP inactive grant status • Part 139 compliance and corrective actions • Consistency with Master Plan • Reasonableness of forecasts (consistency with TAF) • Airport Layout Plan (up to date and project depicted) • Current and Accurate Exhibit A Property Map

6. 2012 – 2015 ACIP Planning • Project Need and timing • Special considerations for runway extension, supplemental runway, and land acquisition projects • Airspace Review • Status of Environmental Analysis • Presume 6-months for FAA to make Cat Ex determination • Presume 18-months for EA • Status and Plan for Engineering and Design (do not exceed 30% design before NEPA is done) • Overall funding strategy: • Use of entitlement funds on high priority projects • Project phasing • LOI or virtual LOI • Multiyear (carryover and reimbursement) • Use of PFC • Local Funding (Matching and in lue of AIP)

7. Fiscal Year 2011 Program • Level of funding and program is unclear until the AIP is reauthorized. Anticipate funding levels similar to recent years. • We are focusing more on proper planning before project is included in FAA’s AIP program and/or AIP provided. • Project Timing and Justification Established. • Environmental Complete. • Airspace is filed/complete (7460 or 7480). • Airport Layout Plan Current and Depicts Project. • Design complete or nearly complete. • The advertisement and bid opening date established. • Expect strict adherence to the May 1 application and AIP carryover declaration deadline.

8. 2011 ACIP Related NEPA Workload • To fully implement our 2011 Program as planned, there are: • 82 projects that may be Categorically Excluded (CatEx) and no further action is required other than to document the Cat Ex in the project folder. • 8 in HNL, 38 in SFO, 36 in LAX • 335 projects that are normally CatEx but willrequire a review to determine if any Extraordinary Circumstances exist. • 29 in HNL, 193 in SFO, 113 in LAX • 15 projects that require at least an Environmental Assessment (EA). • 1 in HNL, 7 in SFO, 7 in LAX • In addition, there are 18 projects in 2012 and 13 projects in 2013 that are likely to require an EAs or EISs.
