This is an emergency approval request
for a new collection to solicit the data necessary to help the FAA
evaluate and select airport terminal and tower projects for funding
under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) (P.L. 117-58) ,
signed on November 15, 2021. The BIL provides $1,020,000,000
annually, for five years, to award competitive discretionary grants
for airport terminal and tower development. Airport owners and
managers (sponsors) who elect to compete for funding and obtain
benefits from the BIL Airport Terminal and Tower Programs will
submit project information. The information collected is based on
grant considerations outlined in the BIL. Some 3,075 airports are
eligible to participate in the BIL Airport Terminal and Tower
Programs, though not all will have a project that fits the criteria
outlined in the BIL.
This emergency approval
is for a new collection to solicit the data necessary to help the
FAA evaluate and select airport terminal and tower projects for
funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), signed on
November 15, 2021. The FAA is requesting emergency approval to meet
the timeline set by Congress for announcing availability of funds
and soliciting project information. Public harm will likely result
if the FAA cannot issue BIL Airport Terminal and Tower Programs
grants in a timely manner. The nation’s airport infrastructure has
many needs including rehabilitation and new development. It is the
intent of the BIL to get these much needed funds out to airports as
quickly as possible so the flying public will have improved airport
infrastructure. The BIL designates the appropriation of BIL funds
for airport terminals and towers as an emergency requirement under
Congressional spending legislation.
