2. FAA Update FY11 Program AIP Performance Metric FY12 Program
Are You Ready for FY13?
PFC Program
Safety/Compliance Initiatives 2

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.

5. FY11 AIP Program
(by State in millions)

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.

7. Current Grant Performance
Target for January
68% (FY11 Grant balance)
32% (FY10 Grant balance)
16%
(FY09 Grant balance)
8% (FY08 Grant balance)
Arizona
91%
26%
10% 2%
California

48% 1%
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. Entitlement Funds Transfer Agreement
$5.5M expired (lost) in FY11
There are $20.7M in expiring
funds in FY12
FAA highly encourages
transfer of expiring funds to
other GA airports in the area
Keep funds in state to benefit
local economy

9. Potential FY12 Expiring Funds

10. Financial Report SF-425 SF-272 is obsolete SF-425 replaced SF-272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 quarter

11. FY12 AIP Funding AIP reauthorization extension through 2/17/12
The short extension does not allow sufficient time for funding distribution
A long-term reauthorization bill is being debated in Congress
We are hopeful a multi year reauthorization will be passed this FY
Reauthorization
Due to 11

12. Central Contractor Registration (CCR)
All grant recipients must have an active registration in CCR – NO EXCEPTIONS.
Must update or renew registration once per year to remain active.
Registration requires DUNS number.
CCR/FedReg Search database is available at:
CCR helpdesk: (866)
Remind the sponsors to keep their CCR active.

13. FY12 Environmental Deadline
Environmental documents should be completed by December 31, 2011
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. 13

14. What’s new for AIP grants?
New electronic grants payment system (eInvoicing) will replace ECHO. The new system will be on-line this summer.
U.S. DOT requires a list of names for all eInvoicing users by 2/15. Sponsors need to provide names to FAA Program Managers as soon as possible.
National standardized grant agreement is being developed (it will replace the master agreement).
All FY12 grant agreements must be notarized, in addition to the seal. (additional guidance will be forthcoming).
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.

15. 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

16. PFC Fundamentals - timing is everything
Strongly urge advance coordination with ADO, including review of draft consultation and application materials
Agency must give airlines 30 days notice of consultation
FAA has 120 days from date final, complete application submitted
Target date to start collections
Consultation and public notice have to be at least 30 days (but less than 6 months) before application submitted
FAA final decision has to be at least 30 days earlier
The public agency must get ready early.
Coordinate with the ADO early.
Provide draft application to the ADO early.
It takes about a full year to get a PFC application prepared and approved.

17. PFC Recurring Issues Project Description Justification
Be specific about what you are doing – Drawings are important. Need a TSA approval for security projects.
Provide sufficient detail: location and scope of the project. If applicable, include dimensions and any major project elements.
Justification
Describe the problem and how the project will address that problem.
Explain the reason for each major project element and the project as a whole
Include the age and condition of any facility or equipment being replaced.

18. PFC Recurring Issues Continue
Criteria for collection at $4.0 or $4.50 levels (must achieve one of the following) :
Improve air safety (i.e. runway/taxiway rehabilitation)
Improve air security (security checkpoint improvements)
Increase competition among air carriers (ticketing and baggage handling improvements)
Reduce current or anticipated congestion (terminal expansion,
apron expansion).
Reduce the impact of aviation noise on people living near the airport (residential or school noise reduction program)

19. Vehicle Pedestrian Deviations
In FY11, there were 43 Vehicle/Pedestrian related Runway Incursions (VPD-RIs) in AWP. This is by far the highest number of all Regions.
To date in FY12, there have been 6 V/PD Runway Incursions in AWP.
We need your vigilance as we move into spring and summer which are our peak times for V/PD RIs.
Reducing VPDs will continue to be a high priority.
Expect us to investigate each event under the authority of Part 139 and/or Grant Assurance 19.
Also expect a quick escalation up the FAA Chain of Command if your airport experiences repeated VPDs. (More than 2 Runway Incursions or Surface Incidents)
Other initiatives include:
Participate in Regional Runway Safety Action Teams and encourage local air traffic control tower managers to conduct local RSATs at least annually.
Increased focus on funding of eligible RSAT action items, access control, and airfield guidance sign projects that may help reduce V/PDs.

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.
AWP program is faced with timing & funding challenges that require everyone’s attention and commitment to ensure meeting our goals.
By the end of 2012, we expect to complete RSA projects at:
- Long Beach L-25R Prescott R-21L
- Arcata
In 2013, we’re expecting to complete RSA projects at:
- Burbank Sonoma 14-32
- San Francisco 10L-28R - Grand Canyon Nat’l Park 3-21
- San Francisco 10R-28L
Our Draft 2012 through 2015 ACIP, includes approximately $400 million in AIP funding for RSA projects. This means that other, lower priority, projects must be deferred to meet our 2015 goal.

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”.
In consultation with the FAA-ATO, we have identified a likely need to conduct Safety Risk Management Panels (SRMP) for planned major runway rehab projects at Van Nuys and Deer Valley airports.
Other SRMPs may be initiated by FAA-ATO.
SMRPs Already Completed

22. Airport 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
Aircraft Reference Code (ACRC) 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
Airport operators, consultants, and contractors will have an opportunity to comment through direct outreach from our Headquarters office and/or through your respective industry groups.

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
