Title: Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for
Comments; Clearance of New Approval of Information Collection:
Information Required to Implement Airport Grant Programs under the
Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021
and the American Rescue Plan Act, 2021.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: FAA seeks emergency clearance for a new information
collection.
Background: FAA intends to seek emergency clearance for a new
information to facilitate its implementation of grants under the
Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, Public
Law 116-260 (Dec. 27, 2020) (CRRSA) and the American Rescue Plan
[[Page 31370]]
Act, Public Law 117-2 (Mar. 11, 2021) (ARPA) to primary airports to
provide relief from rent and minimum annual guarantee (MAG) obligations
to eligible airport concessions. This information collection permits
FAA to confirm that rent relief is consistent with the requirements of
CRRSA and ARPA. If FAA does not receive emergency approval, the
economic recovery of the nation's air transport system may be delayed
because of the inability to of airports to maintain continuity of
operations and assure the sustainability of vital concession partners.
CRRSA directed FAA to provide $200 million in grants to primary
airports for the purpose of providing relief from rent and MAG
obligations to eligible airport concessions. In addition, ARPA directed
FAA to provide $800 million in grants to primary airports for the
purpose of providing relief from rent and MAG obligations to eligible
airport concessions. FAA developed a streamlined information collection
to confirm that airport sponsors and concessions receiving rent relief
met CRRSA and ARPA eligibility and other legal requirements.
Specifically, airport sponsors must provide relief on a proportional
basis and after December 27, 2020, and March 11, 2021, respectively, as
well as conduct prioritized consultation with Airport Concession
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (ACDBEs).
The information will be collected from airport sponsors (public
agencies) who request payment under a concessions relief grant. FAA's
Office of Airports (ARP) will use the information to determine whether
airport sponsors and airport concessions benefitting from rent relief
meet the eligibility and other requirements under CRRSA and ARPA prior
to processing a payment of Federal funds.
Comments received will not be considered before approval of this
emergency collection but will be considered in the renewal process.
Respondents: FAA estimates approximately 404 respondents.
Frequency: Information will be collected one time for each grant
program.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 6 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: Approximately 4,848 hours annually.
Issued in Washington, DC, on June 7, 2021.
