  1. Maximize AIP funds for Your Airport, 2009 and Beyond 31st Annual Airport Conference, Hershey, PA March, 2008 Matt DiGiulian, Manager, Beckley AFO Terry Page, Manager, Washington ADO

  2. All things being equal, Good Projects and Sponsors get the most grant money Then what makes a “good” project and a “good” sponsor?

  3. What Makes a Good Project? The FAA Priority System • National Priority Rating (NPR) explained in detail in FAA Order 5100.39, Airports ACIP • NPR is a numerical rating from 1 to 100 • NPR has 4 parts; • Airport Code (2 to 5 points, variable ‘A’) • Purpose (0 to 10 points, variable ‘P’) • Component (0 to 10 points, variable ‘C’) • Type (0 to 10 points, variable ‘T’)

  4. The FAA Priority System • Airport code (A) large/med hub airports 5 pts, Small/non hub 4 pts, GA pts on based aircraft/ops • Purpose code (P) SA 10 pts, SP 9 pts, RE/PL/EN 8 pts, CA 7 pts, ST 6 pts, OT 4 pts • Component code (C) RW, AP, EQ, BD, LA, TW, PL, etc. (17 possible component codes) • Type (T) 40 codes such as CO, IM, SN, RF,WX etc. Formula: NPR=.25P(A+1.4P+C+1.2T) (Don’t calculate, look up the Order, www.faa.gov)

  5. The FAA Priority System • Funding priority business rules: • Entitlement funds (primary, non-primary or state apportionment) must be assigned to highest priority projects • If entitlement does not cover the need, then FAA will seek discretionary funds • Discretionary funds are assigned to NPR over 40 • Sponsor should request the project, year, and estimated cost. FAA will help structure the funding source that will best meet the need.

  6. What makes a good sponsor? • Attention to Past (existing) AIP grants • Meet schedules and deadlines for Present year AIP grants • Plan for the Future

  7. 1 of 3: the Past • Keep open grants active! • Grant activity is a goal in FAA Flight Plan • Submit reimbursement requests at least every 6 to 12 months • Complete work and close-out grants • Grants must be complete and closed by the end of 4 years • Closing grants allows recovered funds to be returned to your airport’s AIP “bank account” • Closing grants allows recovered funds for overruns Grant activity and close outs are factors in decisions on funding of new grant requests

  8. 2 of 3: the Present Current-year Grant deadlines: • ACIP updates and discussion with ADO by April 30 (Keep the ACIP up to date) • Grant applications to FAA/ADO based on bids, engineering agreements, or land values early in the year.

  9. 3 of 3: the Future • Always plan ahead for future AIP grants! • April 30 is the deadline for ALP, environmental, land acquisition for following year discretionary funding • DRAFT ACIP will be sent to every sponsor in fall each year with grant deadlines • Always review and update ACIP requests and cost estimates (our ACIP is a living document)
