FAA Update FY11 Program AIP Performance Metric FY12 Program Are You Ready for FY13? PFC Program Safety/Compliance Initiatives
FY11 AIP Projects Funded (Western-Pacific Region) Total: $461M
FY11 AIP Program (by State in millions)
AIP Performance Metric • Office of Management and Budget (OMB) outlay rates: • By end of year in which appropriated, disburse 18% • By end of 1st year after appropriation, disburse 60% • By end of 2nd year after appropriation, disburse 81% • By end of 3rd year after appropriation, disburse 91% • By end of 4th year after appropriation, disburse 96% • After the 4th year, all funds should be fully disbursed and the grant closed.
Entitlement Funds Transfer Agreement • $5.5M expired (lost) in FY11 • There are $20.7M in expiring funds in FY12 • FAA highly encourages transfer of expiring funds to other GA airports in the area • Keep funds in state tobenefit local economy
Financial Report SF-425 • SF-272 is obsolete • SF-425 replaced SF-272 • Submit SF-425 to FAA within 30 days after the end of each quarter
FY12 AIP Funding • AIP reauthorization extension through 2/17/12 • 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 Reauthorization
CentralContractorRegistration (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
Strongly urge advance coordination with ADO, including review of draft consultation and application materials Agency must give airlines 30 days notice of consultation FAA has 120 days from date final, complete application submitted Consultation and public notice have to be at least 30 days (but less than 6 months) before application submitted FAA final decision has to be at least 30 days earlier PFC Fundamentals - timing is everything Target date to start collections
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.
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. SMRPsAlreadyCompleted
Airport Design Standards Update • FAA is working on update to Advisory Circular 150/5300-13, Airport Design. • FAA’s goal is to publish AC 150/5300-13A by the end of Fiscal Year 12. • Principal Changes are in the areas of: • Chapter 3, Runway Design • Chapter 4, Taxiway and Taxilane Design • Declared Distances and RSA Application • Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) • Taxiway Design Group (TDG) Concept for Fillet Design • Aircraft Reference Code (ACRC) and Taxiway Design Group (TDG) designation • Minimum separation between non-intersecting runways • Runway incursion prevention geometry for new construction • Consolidation of numerous runway design tables to one design requirements matrix – Table 3-5 • Airport operators, consultants, and contractors will have an opportunity to comment through direct outreach from our Headquarters office and/or through your respective industry groups.
National ADO Initiatives • Geographic Balancing (Geo-balancing) • National redistribution of resources to better serve our customers • New Phoenix ADO to serve AZ and NV • Phoenix office will initially report to LAX ADO • LAX and SFO ADOs will exclusively serve California • National SOPs under development to create consistency among ADOs
Summary • Talk to us. • Talk early. • Plan ahead. • Stay abreast of current regulation and guidance. • Please talk to us before an issue becomes a problem!
