3. FY11 AIP Projects Funded (Western-Pacific Region)
Total: $461M
Others includes the following:
Access road
Perimeter fencing
Drainage
AGIS
Wildlife Hazard Assessments
ARFF acquisition

4. AIP Funding for FY10 & FY11 FY11 CA discretionary funds: $140M
The reason that California received less AIP funds in FY11 than FY10: More carryover in FY11 than FY10.

6. AIP Performance Metric
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) outlay rates:
By end of year in which appropriated, disburse 18%
By end of 1st year after appropriation, disburse 60%
By end of 2nd year after appropriation, disburse 81%
By end of 3rd year after appropriation, disburse 91%
By end of 4th year after appropriation, disburse 96%
After the 4th year, all funds should be fully disbursed and the grant closed.

1st row represents target grant balance (%) at the end of January. AWP Struggles to meet this goal.
Regular reimbursements demonstrate to Congress the need of AIP funding.
One of the conditions for accepting an AIP grant is to carry out and complete the projects without undue delay.
AWP evaluates performance on existing open grants when assigning state apportionment and discretionary funding to new projects.

8. Financial Report SF-425 SF-272 is obsolete SF-425 replaced SF-272
Submit SF-425 to FAA within
30 days after the end of
each fiscal year
The auditor requires the SF-425 be submitted within 30 days after the end of each quarter. AWP had one SF-425 submitted in 37 days. It was considered a late submittal.

9. FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012
The President signed the FAA Modernization & Reform Act of 2012 on February 14, 2012
4-year FAA reauthorization bill
Authorizes $3.35 billion for AIP (FY12 – 15)
$165 million less than previous years ($3.5 billion)
Still subject to annual appropriation bill

10. New Federal Share for AIP Grants
The federal share for development projects reverts back from 95% to the following rate:
Arizona – 91.06% (except PHX – 75%)
Nevada – 93.75% (except LAS – 75%)
Hawaii – 90%
Pacific Islands – 90%
California – 90.06%
(except BUR, ONT, OAK, SMF, SAN, SJC, SNA %, SFO & LAX – 75%)

11. Essential Air Service Airports in Economically Distressed Areas
US DOT determined the following airports to remain eligible at a 95% federal share:
Kingman (AZ)
Prescott (AZ)
Show Low (AZ)
Crescent City (CA)
El Centro (CA)
Merced (CA)
Visalia (CA)

12. Miscellaneous Provision
Construction projects with discretionary funds may begin before execution of grant agreements, due to climatic condition
Changes made to residential through-the-fence (TTF) and disposal of noise land requirements
TTF – adds language enabling a GA airport to enter into an agreement with a person to access airport with property adjacent to or near the airport
Disposal of noise land – allows designation of noise land as “buffer” land. Airports can lease without treating land as disposal.

13. New Electronic Grant Payments
Delphi eInvoicing is in operation. Call DOT Help desk if you have any registration issues.
1 (866) , Option 4, Option 3
1 (405) , Option 4, Option 3
Delphi eInvoicing manual payment will begin on November 1st.
eInvoicing streamline and improve efficiencies in payments
All pay requests will be submitted online
Airport sponsors can view real-time status of all payments, improving grant management.
Automated notifications will be received by users. This will keep the airport sponsor more informed of payment status.
Payment supporting documentation can be uploaded into the system for ease in review.

14. Are You Ready for FY13? Ready means that by 12/31/12 you have:
Planning complete
Project on an approved ALP
FAA environmental complete (FONSI, ROD, or submission of extraordinary circumstance form)
Airspace review and approval complete
Design complete and project ready for bid

15. FY13 Environmental Deadline
Environmental documents should be completed by December 31, 2012
Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for Environmental Assessment (EA)
Record of Decision (ROD) for Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
Submission of extraordinary circumstance form to support categorical exclusions
FAA needs one of the 3 environmental documentation to process a grant in FY12. 15

16. FY 2013 Grants Applications
Get your application is early
Ensure calculation adds up and are supported
Administrative cost and support services need to have back-up for all numbers

18. Vehicle Pedestrian Deviations
In FY11, there were 44 Vehicle/Pedestrian Deviation related Runway Incursions (VPD-RIs) in AWP. This is by far the highest number of all Regions.
To date in FY12, there have been 18 VPD Runway Incursions in AWP.
By this time last year, AWP had experienced 22 so we are doing better, but…
We need your vigilance as we move into spring and summer which are our peak times for V/PD RIs.
Nevada Airports are doing well.
NV Airports had 4 VPD-Ris in FY11.
There have been 3 VPD-RI this fiscal year to date at Nevada Airports.
2 at LAS and 1 at VGT.
ASDE-X snapshot of HNL VPD Runway Incursion on 2/22/12. Aircraft overflew HNL Ops Vehicle by approximately 150 feet.

19. Wildlife Hazard Management
To date in FY12,
A total of 123 wildlife strikes have been reported at or near AWP Airports.
Of those, 116 occurred at Part 139 certificated airports.
The remaining occurred at General Aviation (GA) airports.
We strongly recommend all Part 139 certificated airports and busy GA Airports conduct a Wildlife Hazard Assessment and develop a Wildlife Hazard Management Plan even if they have not experienced a “triggering event.”
All wildlife strikes should be reported to FAA at

20. Runway Safety Area Program
All practicable improvements to RSAs at Part 139 airports, including NavAids related actions, must be completed by December 30, 2015.
GOOD NEWS: Based on the information we have, all Part 139 Certificated Runways in Nevada meet current RSA Standards.
Not So Good News: We have 30 RSA projects to be completed by the deadline.
AWP program is faced with timing & funding challenges in meeting the 2015 deadline.
Our ACIP, includes over $400 million in AIP funding for RSA projects. This means that other, lower priority, projects must be deferred.

21. Safety Management System (SMS)
Airports implementation of SMS is limited to Large Hub Airport projects only until further notice.
FAA-Air Traffic Organization (ATO) implementation of SMS may include any project with potential to impact operation of the National Airspace System.
AWP has identified the following large hub airport projects that require further screening under the SMS process in 2012:
McCarran (LAS) Two Taxiway Rehabilitations (CSPP).
Honolulu (HNL) Rehabilitate Taxiway Z (design only).
San Francisco (SFO) Runway 10L-28R and 10R-28L Runway Safety Areas.
Los Angeles (LAX) Construct two aprons at Bradley Terminal and Taxiway “T”.
Phoenix (PHX) Rehab Taxiway “B8”.
Other SRMPs may be initiated by FAA-ATO.

22. Design Standards Update
FAA is working on update to Advisory Circular 150/ , Airport Design.
FAA’s goal is to publish AC 150/ A by the end of Fiscal Year 12.
Principal Changes are in the areas of:
Chapter 3, Runway Design
Chapter 4, Taxiway and Taxilane Design
Declared Distances and RSA Application
Runway Protection Zone (RPZ)
Taxiway Design Group (TDG) Concept for Fillet Design
Runway Design Code (RDC), Runway Reference Code (RRC) and Taxiway Design Group (TDG) designation
Minimum separation between non-intersecting runways
Runway incursion prevention geometry for new construction
Consolidation of numerous runway design tables to one design requirements matrix – Table 3-5
FAA is also working on updates to the Heliport Design AC and new standards for Parachute Landing Areas on airports.

23. National ADO Initiatives
Geographic Balancing (Geo-balancing)
National redistribution of resources to better serve our customers
New Phoenix ADO to serve AZ and NV
Phoenix office will initially report to LAX ADO
LAX and SFO ADOs will exclusively serve California
National SOPs under development to create consistency among ADOs
