This is the renewal of a collection to
solicit the data necessary to help the FAA evaluate and select
airport terminal and tower projects for funding under the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (P.L. 117-58), signed
on November 15, 2021. IIJA provides annual funding of about
$1,020,000,000 annually for these programs through FY 2026.
Additionally, the IIJA directs funds that are unobligated at the
end of the fourth fiscal year after being first made available
under the Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) program be converted
to a new competitive funding program for the final fiscal year of
availability. Of the amounts converted, the first $100,000,000 is
set aside to augment the IIJA’s FAA Contract Tower program. Funds
exceeding $100,000,000 are then awarded through the new competitive
grant program, called the AIG Funding Reallocation (AFR) program.
Airport owners and managers (sponsors) who elect to compete for
funding and obtain benefits from the IIJA Airport Terminal and
Tower Programs will submit project information. The information
collected is based on grant considerations outlined in the IIJA and
allows the FAA to evaluate and distribute IIJA funds to address
aging infrastructure at the nation’s airports. Some 3,075 airports
are eligible to participate in the IIJA Airport Terminal Program
and about 170 for the Tower Program, though not all will have a
project that fits the criteria outlined in the IIJA.

Based on previous years'
submissions, the FAA expects fewer applications, which has resulted
in a lower hourly burden.
