  2. FAA Update FY11 Program Highlights AIP Performance Metric FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 Are You Ready for FY13? Safety/Compliance Initiatives

  3. FY11 AIP Projects Funded (Western-Pacific Region) Total: $461M

  4. AIP Funding for FY10 & FY11

  5. FY11 AIP Program (by State in millions)

  6. 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.

  7. Current Grant Performance

  8. Financial Report SF-425 • SF-272 is obsolete • SF-425 replaced SF-272 • Submit SF-425 to FAA within 30 days after the end of each fiscal year

  9. FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 The President signed the FAA Modernization & Reform Act of 2012 on February 14, 2012 • 4-year FAA reauthorization bill • Authorizes $3.35 billion for AIP (FY12 – 15) • $165 million less than previous years ($3.5 billion) • Still subject to annual appropriation bill

  10. New Federal Share for AIP Grants The federal share for development projects reverts back from 95% to the following rate: • Arizona – 91.06% (except PHX – 75%) • Nevada – 93.75% (except LAS – 75%) • Hawaii – 90% • Pacific Islands – 90% • California – 90.06% (except BUR, ONT, OAK, SMF, SAN, SJC, SNA - 80.59%, SFO & LAX – 75%)

  11. Essential Air Service Airports in Economically Distressed Areas • US DOT determined the following airports to remain eligible at a 95% federal share: • Kingman (AZ) • Prescott (AZ) • Show Low (AZ) • Crescent City(CA) • El Centro(CA) • Merced (CA) • Visalia (CA)

  12. Miscellaneous Provision • Construction projects with discretionary funds may begin before execution of grant agreements, due to climatic condition • Changes made to residential through-the-fence (TTF) and disposal of noise land requirements • TTF – adds language enabling a GA airport to enter into an agreement with a person to access airport with property adjacent to or near the airport • Disposal of noise land – allows designation of noise land as “buffer” land. Airports can lease without treating land as disposal.

  13. New Electronic Grant Payments • Delphi eInvoicing is in operation. Call DOT Help desk if you have any registration issues. • 1 (866) 641-3500, Option 4, Option 3 • 1 (405) 954-3000, Option 4, Option 3 • Delphi eInvoicing manual payment will begin on November 1st.

  14. 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

  15. FY13 Environmental Deadline Environmental documents should be completed by December 31, 2012 • 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

  16. FY 2013 Grants Applications • Get your application is early • Ensure calculation adds up and are supported • Administrative cost and support services need to have back-up for all numbers • Force Account work must be approved by FAA • Bids should not include contingency – even by another name

  17. Important Dates for FY13 (AIP Grants)

  18. Vehicle Pedestrian Deviations • In FY11, there were 44 Vehicle/Pedestrian Deviation related Runway Incursions (VPD-RIs) in AWP. This is by far the highest number of all Regions. • To date in FY12, there have been 18 VPD Runway Incursions in AWP. • By this time last year, AWP had experienced 22 so we are doing better, but… • We need your vigilance as we move into spring and summer which are our peak times for V/PD RIs. • Nevada Airports are doing well. • NV Airports had 4 VPD-Ris in FY11. • There have been 3 VPD-RI this fiscal year to date at Nevada Airports. • 2 at LAS and 1 at VGT. ASDE-X snapshot of HNL VPD Runway Incursion on 2/22/12. Aircraft overflew HNL Ops Vehicle by approximately 150 feet.

  19. Wildlife Hazard Management • To date in FY12, • A total of 123 wildlife strikes have been reported at or near AWP Airports. • Of those, 116 occurred at Part 139 certificated airports. • The remaining occurred at General Aviation (GA) airports. • We strongly recommend all Part 139 certificated airports and busy GA Airports conduct a Wildlife Hazard Assessment and develop a Wildlife Hazard Management Plan even if they have not experienced a “triggering event.” • All wildlife strikes should be reported to FAAat http://wildlife.faa.gov.

  20. Runway Safety Area Program • All practicable improvements to RSAs at Part 139 airports, including NavAids related actions, must be completed by December 30, 2015. • GOOD NEWS: Based on the information we have, all Part 139 Certificated Runways in Nevada meet current RSA Standards. • Not So Good News: We have 30 RSA projects to be completed by the deadline. • AWP program is faced with timing & funding challenges in meeting the 2015 deadline. • Our ACIP, includes over $400 million in AIP funding for RSA projects. This means that other, lower priority, projects must be deferred.

  21. 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”. • Other SRMPs may be initiated by FAA-ATO.

  22. 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 • Runway Design Code (RDC), Runway Reference Code (RRC) 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 • FAA is also working on updates to the Heliport Design AC and new standards for Parachute Landing Areas on airports.

  23. 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

  24. 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!
