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 and compliance information. This information is received and used by the FAA for grant awarding and monitoring purposes and for ensuring compliance with enabling legislation and grant assurances. 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.
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 FAA also uses submitted data to track compliance with grant assurances.

This submission increases the total number of respondents, the number of responses, the burden and cost of the collection to respondents, and the cost to the Federal Government. These adjustments reflect the inclusion of Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) grant programs and a more detailed accounting of the compliance-related components of airport grant programs. This renewal also includes additional collection instruments that were incorporated into past burden calculations but not specifically identified (e.g., standard forms) and a more complete accounting of costs to the government. In the past, we showed an average burden on many of the forms, rather than the burden associated with that particular form. To correct this, we will update the incorrect burden statements on several forms (identified in Question 15) to reflect the burden associated with that form.
