Airport owners and managers (sponsors) are required to report this information on occasion to the FAA in order to receive grant funds. The collected information consists of airport demographics (runway data; lighting data; enplanement data, etc.) and financial information. This information is received and used by the FAA for grant awarding and monitoring purposes, and incompliance with the enabling legislation. This is a mandatory reporting collection for certifications and representations, financial management and performance measurement.
Certifications and Representations: The Uniform Guidance (2 CFR § 200), 49 CFR § 18 and 49 USC Chapter 471 authorize the FAA to require Sponsors to submit certain certifications and representations as required by Federal statutes or regulations.
Financial Management :The Uniform Guidance and 49 USC Chapter 471 require that recipients of Federal monies meet certain standards for financial management, performance, reporting, and audits. Financial data is used by FAA personnel and accountants to ensure that grant obligations are not exceeded and revenue is not diverted. There would be great potential for revenue diversion and fraud if financial data were not collected. The FAA uses this Information for payment processing, grant application review, compliance with Federal financial transaction protocols, budgeting, reports to Congress, and to ensure compliance with other statutory and regulatory requirements.
The FAA used the information to make funding decisions and to ensure compliance with statutes and regulations; and in fulfillment of our oversight and fiduciary responsibilities to the taxpayers. By submission of the forms listed above, the FAA has prepared and issued grants during the fiscal year as spending levels are appropriated by Congress; amended actual dollar amounts and descriptions to reflect changes in existing grants; monitored the progress of projects and status of remaining funds in a project through financial status reports. The requested forms also serve as documentation for routine audits.
Performance Measurement: As specified in 2 CFR § 200, proper program management requires that information be collected about program performance. Sponsors are required to monitor performance on grant projects to ensure that time schedules are being met and performance goals are achieved.
The information collected will not be disseminated publicly except information from Forms 5100-126/127. Airport financial data is made available per the Federal Aviation Authorization Act of 1994 to inform the public about how airports collect and disburse funds. The information is available for viewing at http://cats.airports.faa.gov/.
