Terms of Clearance: This collection is approved with the following terms of clearance: DOT is approved an emergency clearance to meet American Reinvestment Recovery Act (ARRA) requirements. Due to the cross-cutting nature of reporting requirements under Section 1201 (which DOT is exempt from the Paperwork Reduction Act under Section 1201(e)) and Section 1512 of the ARRA, DOT must resubmit to OMB a revision of those specific reporting elements under Section 1512 once OMB issues formal guidance on Section 1512 reporting. This collection will be valid for six months. If DOT decides to continue use of the collection past the approved emergency request clearance time period, it must resubmit to OMB under the normal PRA clearance process for a three-year approval.

Abstract: The FAA collects information from airport sponsors and planning agencies in order to administer the Airports Grants Program. Data is used to determine eligibility, ensure proper use of Federal Funds, and ensure project accomplishment.

Emergency Justfication: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provided funding for airport development. This funding of $1,100,000,000 is intended to improve facilities and equipment needed for the National Airspace System (NAS) at our nation’s airports. ARRA requires that 50 percent of the ARRA grants be awarded within 120 days after enactment of the Act, or by June 16, 2009. To ensure ARRA grants are awarded quickly and within the timeframes established by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Act, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requests approval to use OMB’s emergency processing system to meet Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) requirements. FAA is required to report data about grants funded through ARRA. FAA intends to collect new information from grant recipients about use of ARRA funds, including such elements as jobs created and retained. The Act establishes a June 16, 2009 deadline for issuing the first half of the ARRA grants. FAA therefore requests an approval date before April 3, 2009. Without a waiver of OMB’s normal approving process, FAA will not meet the requirements set by ARRA to expeditiously award contract actions and thus delay funding impact on America’s recovery.
