Form 5500-1 Attachment B

PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGE (PFC) APPLICATION

APPLICATION PROJECT INFORMATION

ATTACHMENT B TEMPLATE

The information that a public agency must file when applying for authority to impose a PFC and for authority to use PFC revenue on a project is specified in 14 CFR Part 158. In accordance with section 158.25, a public agency that chooses to apply for authority to impose a PFC and for authority to use PFC revenue on a project must do so by using FAA Form 5500-1, PFC Application (latest edition) and all applicable attachments. Public agencies may use this Attachment B template for all FAA Form 5500-1 submissions if the applicable regulation requires the submission of project information in addition to the form.

The Attachment B template may be obtained on the FAA Airports Internet website or by contacting the local FAA Airports office to obtain an electronic version. A public agency submitting an application in hard copy should also submit one copy of each Attachment B electronically.

The following are instructions for completing the form. Complete a separate Attachment B for each proposed project. The paragraph of 14 CFR Part 158 pertaining to the information required is provided in parenthesis.

All areas highlighted in gray are for FAA Use Only. When completing this form, these highlighted areas may aid public agencies in determining the type of information that the FAA will be evaluating when making determinations for each project.

Note: Public agencies seeking PFC authorization under the FAA’s Notice of Intent review process may use the Attachment H template to provide project information.

1) PROJECT TITLE [158.25(b)(16)]:

Use a title that describes the project and differentiates it from other projects in this application or in your PFC program. Do not use "AIP Reimbursement" as a project title. (1) AIRPORT WHERE PROJECT IS LOCATED [158.25(b)(4)]

2) PROJECT NUMBER:

Indicate project number used by public agency to identify this project, if applicable.

3) USE AIRPORT OF PROJECT:

Identify the airport where this project is physically located.

4) TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED [158.25(a)]:

Check the box to indicate the type of approval being requested.
If the project has impose authority from a previous application and this application is for use, provide the application number of the impose authority.

5) LEVEL OF COLLECTION [158.5]

Select the level of collection requested for the project, $1, $2, $3, $4 or $4.50 PFC level.

6) FINANCING PLAN [158.25(b)(13)]:

Use the format provided in the Attachment B template. If the project was previously approved for authority to IMPOSE, and costs or method of financing have changed, provide the original financing plan and a current financing plan. Note that PFC "Pay-as-you-go" is defined as PFC funds used to pay costs directly as opposed to paying debt service on bonds or other debt instruments.

For each project proposing PFC funding in excess of $10,000,000, public agencies are required to provide detailed basis of cost information (beyond what is provided in the Attachment B form). Ideally, this information will consist of the document(s) the public agency used to determine the amount shown in this section. It is the FAA’s intention for the public agency to use existing information rather than creating new documents and analysis. The FAA assumes the public agency has done sufficient plans and designs to substantiate the cost associate with the projects. Further, the FAA expects the detailed cost information to clearly show the costs associated with each major work element of the project. The public agency should also clearly indicate whether the information is based on conceptual design or feasibility studies, construction design, contract, appraisal, or actual costs. The FAA’s authority for requiring public agencies to submit detailed basis of cost information is found in section 158.25(b)(16) which states that the public agency must provide “Such additional information as the Administrator may require,” in the application.

7) BACK-UP FINANCING PLAN [158.25(b)(16)]:

If proposed AIP discretionary funds are included in the Financing Plan (No. 6 above), provide a Back-up Financing Plan (using the format in No. 6), or a project phasing plan, in the event the discretionary funds are not available for the project. This also applies if the public agency is requesting a Letter of Intent (LOI) to fund a portion of the project, whether the proposed LOI does or doesn’t include discretionary funds.

8) PROJECT DESCRIPTION [158.25(b)(6)]:

Provide a detailed description of the project. Sufficient detail should be given so a person not familiar with the airport will be able to understand the project. Do not combine dissimilar projects, as you will be required to break the costs out later, e.g., snow removal equipment and security fencing or a runway and parallel taxiway. Where appropriate, include a sketch showing the location of the work.

In the case of a project for gates and related areas undertaken to enable additional air service by an air carrier with less than 50 percent of the annual passenger boardings at an airport under 158.15(b)(6), the public agency must show how the project will enable additional air service by an air carrier with less than 50 percent of the annual passenger boardings at the airport. This discussion should be included in the discussion on existing conditions that limit competition as required in §158.25(b)(7)

For a USE project, where the impose authority was previously approved, highlight any changes from the originally approved impose description. Note that material changes to a project, such as increasing the length of a taxiway, are acceptable when applying for USE approval. However, changing a taxiway project to extension of a runway is not a material change, it is a new project. Such changes require the submittal of the project as a new IMPOSE and USE project.

For terminal development projects constructing or rehabilitating gates, ticket counters or baggage facilities, if the facilities will have a preferential lease, submit a copy of the lease with the application. The FAA’s authority for requiring public agencies to submit a copy of the lease with the application is found in section 158.25(b)(16) which states that the public agency must provide “Such additional information as the Administrator may require,” in the application.

For terminal development projects to construct and/or rehabilitate gates, ticket counters or baggage facilities: 1) indicate the number of gates, ticket counters, or baggage facilities at the airport prior to the implementation of this project; 2) indicate the number of gates, ticket counters, or baggage facilities being constructed or rehabilitated in this project; 3) indicate the net addition of gates, ticket counters, or baggage facilities at the airport after accounting for loss if decommissioning any of the existing facilities.

The number of gates refers to the sum total of gates for all terminals at that airport. The number is not per terminal or concourse. When counting gates, if the airport has gates which are split e.g. there is one entry door from the terminal and a jet bridge which leads to two aircraft parking positions, Gate 41A and 41B, these count as two gates. A gate with no jet bridge used to board various turbo prop and small RJ aircraft parked on the ramp near it would be counted as one gate.

The number of ticket counters refers to the sum total of ticket counters in all the terminals. The number is not per terminal. The ticket counter is the counter area behind which the air carrier employee mans the ticketing/baggage position. It is not measured in linear feet, but in the number of stations. This does not include kiosks or self-use terminals located in front of the ticket counters. If the airport has 3 terminals and one terminal has 50 ticket counter positions, a second has 25 ticket counter positions and the third has 10 ticket counter positions, the number to be entered into the terminal data would be 85 ticket counters.

The number of baggage facilities refers to the sum total of baggage carousels in all the terminals. The number is not per terminal or concourse and not measured in linear feet. If the airport has 5 terminals and 3 terminals have 10 carousels each, 1 has 5 carousels and 1 has 4 carousels, the number to be entered into the terminal data would be 39 baggage carousels.

Form terminal and surface transportation projects indicate whether the public agency has made adequate provision for financing the airside needs of the airport, including runways, taxiways, aprons, and aircraft gates.

9) PROJECT OBJECTIVE [158.25(b)(7)]:

Provide information on the extent to which the project achieves one or more of the following objectives:

a) Preserve or enhance safety, security, or capacity of the national air transportation system;

b) Reduce noise or mitigate noise impacts resulting from the airport; or,

c) Furnish opportunities for enhanced competition between or among air carriers.

State how the project accomplishes the specific objective listed above. For example, this runway widening project enhances safety by bringing the runway into compliance with AC XXXX.

A statement of which objective the public agency believes the project meets without an explanation is not adequate.

10) PROJECT JUSTIFICATION [158.25(b)(7)]:

Provide sufficient details to demonstrate the need for the project. This section explains why the project is needed, and should be a narrative description. For example:

security equipment should reference the TSA and Part 1542 requirements;

safety equipment: safety fencing should reference discouraging access of wildlife to the runway and taxiways; ARFF equipment should reference the airport index minimum requirements and whether the equipment replaces or is new, and if new why it is required; pavement rehabilitation should mention age and condition of current pavement;

AIP reimbursement projects will use the same justification as was used in the AIP application, however simply stating that the project is in an AIP grant is not satisfactory justification; and snow removal equipment should reference the airport approved snow removal plan, whether the equipment replaces or is new, and if new, why it is required.

If the proposed project involves terminal development, including gates and related areas, discuss any existing conditions that limit competition between or among air carriers and foreign air carriers at the airport, any initiatives proposed to foster opportunities for enhanced competition between and among such carriers, the expected results of such initiatives, and the role of the project in these initiatives. This discussion may be included as an additional attachment.

For projects such as runway extensions and new runways, project justification depends on AIP project eligibility. Further discussion and documentation is required in such cases. Referenced documents should be attached. For example, runway extensions need a justification in terms of numbers and types of operations which require a longer runway. Also, land acquisitions need a discussion of the proposed use for the property, and the justification for that proposed use, to the extent available.

For ground transportation projects such as new access roads or rail projects, forecast and existing traffic counts or documentation of existing access congestion should be provided.

11) ESTIMATED PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION and COMPLETION DATES [158.25(b)(14)(iv)]:

List projected dates of project implementation and completion, either actual or estimated. Also indicate any pending actions upon which the project implementation is dependent, such as local government approval, or completion of a related project.

Use the following table to identify the Implementation Date of a project:

Type of Project	Implementation Date
Construction ( includes construction projects combined with design and/or land acquisition	Date of notice to proceed or start of physical construction for the PFC project or an element thereof
Equipment/Vehicle (Refurbish)	Date of award of contract to refurbish the vehicle or equipment
Equipment/Vehicle (New)	Date of award of contract or delivery date for new equipment
Land	Date of signing of contract/agreement for the purchase of the parcel
Planning	Date of notice to proceed or commencement of work
Project formulation costs (includes appraisals, engineering, title searches, etc.) as a separate project(s)	Date of notice to proceed or commencement of work

If the proposed project contains both design and construction work, the project implementation date is the date of the notice to proceed (or start of physical construction) for the construction project.

12) FOR AN IMPOSE ONLY PROJECT: Estimate date that USE application will be submitted to the FAA [158.25(b)(14)(iii)].

13) CONSULTATION WITH AIR CARRIERS [158.25(b)(11)]:

Carriers Certifying Agreement [158.25(b)(11)(iii)]: List all air carriers which certified agreement with this project following consultation.

Carriers Certifying Disagreement [158.25(b)(11)(iii)]: List all air carriers which certified disagreement with this project following consultation.

Recap of Disagreements [158.25(b)(11)(v)]: Provide a recap of each disagreement. Identify the air carrier(s) asserting each disagreement and address each disagreement.

Public Agency Reasons for Proceeding [158.25(b)(11)(v)]: The public agency shall provide the reasons for proceeding with the project in the face of this disagreement. Be specific.

14) PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT [158.25(b)(11)]:

List of Comments Received from the Public Notice [158.25(b)(11)(iii)]: List all comments received from the public notice.

List of Parties Certifying Agreement [158.25(b)(11)(iii)]: List all respondents to the public notice which certified agreement with this project following publication of the public notice.

Recap of Disagreements [158.25(b)(11)(v)]: Provide a recap of each disagreement. Identify the respondent(s) asserting each disagreement and address each disagreement.

Public Agency Reasons for Proceeding [158.25(b)(11)(v)]: The public agency shall provide the reasons for proceeding with the project in the face of this disagreement. Be specific.

The above instructions should not be submitted with the Attachment B below in the application.
