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 IIJAâs 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 nationâs 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.
