Robin K. Hunt at 202-267-3263.
A. Program Description
BIL established the ATP, a competitive discretionary grant program,
which provides approximately $1 billion in grant funding annually for
five years (Fiscal Years 2022-2026) to upgrade, modernize, and rebuild
our nation's airport terminals and sponsor-owned Airport Traffic
Control Towers (ATCTs). This includes bringing airport facilities into
conformity with current standards; constructing, modifying, or
expanding facilities as necessary to meet demonstrated aeronautical
demand; enhancing environmental sustainability; encouraging actual and
potential competition; and providing a balanced system of airports to
meet the roles and functions necessary to support civil aeronautical
demand. This program also supports the President's goals to mobilize
American ingenuity to build modern infrastructure and an equitable,
clean energy future. In support of Executive Order 13985, Advancing
Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the
Federal Government (86 FR 7009), the FAA encourages applicants to
consider how the project will address the challenges faced by
individuals in underserved communities and rural areas.
The ATP falls under the project grant authority for the Airport
Improvement Program (AIP) in 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) Sec.
47104. Per 2 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200--Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements
for Federal Awards the AIP Federal Assistance Listings Number is
20.106, with the objective to assist eligible airports in the
development and improvement of a nationwide system that adequately
meets the needs of civil aeronautics. The FY 2022 ATP will be
implemented, as appropriate and consistent with BIL, in alignment with
the priorities in Executive Order 14052, Implementation of the
Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act (86 FR 64355), which are to
invest efficiently and equitably, promote the competitiveness of the
U.S. economy, improve opportunities for good-paying jobs with the free
and fair choice to join a union by focusing on high labor standards,
strengthen infrastructure resilience to all hazards including climate
change, and to effectively coordinate with State, local, Tribal, and
territorial government partners.
Consistent with statutory criteria and Executive Order 14008,
Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad (86 FR 7619), the FAA
also seeks to fund projects under the ATP that reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and are designed with specific elements to address climate
change impacts. Specifically, the FAA is looking to award projects that
align with the President's greenhouse gas reduction goals, promote
energy efficiency, support fiscally responsible land use and
transportation efficient design, support terminal development
compatible with the use of sustainable aviation fuels and technologies,
increase climate resilience, incorporate sustainable pavement and
construction materials as allowable, and reduce pollution.
B. Federal Award Information
The ATP is a $5 billion grant program, distributed as approximately
$1 billion annually for five years (Fiscal Years 2022, 2023, 2024,
2025, and 2026), subject to annual allocations limitations based on
airport roles found in the published National Plan of Integrated
Airport Systems (NPIAS), as updated with current year data. In general,
the $5 billion in ATP grant funding is subject to the following annual
award allocation limitations: Not more than 55% shall be for large hub
airports, not more than 15% shall be for medium hub airports, not more
than 20% shall be for small hub airports, and not less than 10% shall
be for nonhub and nonprimary airports.
The FAA will consider projects that increase capacity and passenger
access; projects that replace aging infrastructure; projects that
achieve compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C.
12101, et seq.) and expand accessibility for persons with disabilities;
projects that
[[Page 10891]]
improve airport access for historically disadvantaged populations;
projects that improve energy efficiency, including upgrading
environmental systems, upgrading plant facilities, and achieving
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accreditation
standards; projects that improve airfield safety through terminal
relocation; and projects that encourage actual and potential
competition. This includes applicable Executive Orders as listed in
Section E.2. Additionally, the FAA will provide preference to projects
that complete a development objective, and priority to projects that
have received partial awards.
Projects for relocating, reconstructing, repairing, or improving an
airport-owned ATCT will also be considered. In addition to the
considerations above, these projects will also be evaluated based on
overall impact on the national airspace system including age of
facility, operational constraints, and nonstandard facilities. The FAA
will publish a NOFO annually to announce additional funding made
available, approximately $1 billion per year, for Fiscal Years 2023-
2026.

3. Unique Entity Identifier and System for Award Management (SAM)
Applicants must comply with 2 CFR part 25--Universal Identifier and
System for Award Management. All applicants must have a unique entity
identifier provided by SAM. Additional information about obtaining a
Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and registration procedures may be found
at the SAM website (currently at <a href="http://www.sam.gov">http://www.sam.gov</a>). Each applicant is
required to: (1) Be registered in SAM; (2) provide a valid UEI prior to
grant award; and (3) continue to maintain an active SAM registration
with current information at all times during which the applicant has an
active Federal award or an application or plan under consideration by
the FAA. Under the ATP, the UEI and SAM account must belong to the
entity that has the legal authority to apply for, receive, and execute
ATP grants.
Once awarded, the FAA grant recipient must maintain the currency of
its information in SAM until the grantee submits the final financial
report required under the grant or receives the final payment,
whichever is later. A grant recipient must review and update the
information at least annually after the initial registration and more
frequently if required by changes in information or another award term.
The FAA may not make an award until the applicant has complied with
all applicable UEI and SAM requirements. If an applicant has not fully
complied with the requirements by the time the FAA is ready to make an
award, the FAA may determine that the applicant is not qualified to
receive an award and use that determination as a basis for making a
federal award to another applicant.
Non-federal entities that have received a federal award are
required to report certain civil, criminal, or administrative
proceedings to SAM (currently the Federal Awardee Performance and
Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) <a href="http://www.fapiis.gov">www.fapiis.gov</a>) to ensure
registration information is current and complies with federal
requirements. Applicants should refer to 2 CFR 200.113 for more
information about this requirement.
4. Submission Dates and Times
Airports that wish to be considered for FY 2022 ATP discretionary
funding should submit an application that meets the requirements of
this NOFO as soon as possible, but no later than 5:00 p.m.
[[Page 10892]]
Eastern time on March 28, 2022. Submit applications electronically at
<a href="http://www.faa.gov/bil/airport-terminals">www.faa.gov/bil/airport-terminals</a> per instructions in this NOFO.
5. Funding Restrictions
All projects funded from the ATP must be airport terminal
development, defined in 49 U.S.C. 47102(28) as development of an
airport passenger terminal building, including terminal gates; access
roads servicing exclusively airport traffic that leads directly to or
from an airport passenger terminal building; and walkways that lead
directly to or from an airport passenger terminal building. Under the
ATP, the FAA may consider projects that qualify as ``terminal
development'' (including multimodal terminal development), as that term
is defined in 49 U.S.C. 47102(28); and projects for on-airport rail
access projects as set forth in Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Update
75-21 (86 FR 48793, August 31, 2021).
Additionally, ATP eligible projects include relocating,
reconstructing, repairing, or improving an airport-owned ATCT. ATP
funds may not be used to support or oppose union organizing.
E. Application Review Information
1. Criteria
Applications for FY 2022 ATP will be rated using the following
criteria:
i. Must meet eligibility requirements under the ATP, which includes
terminal development (including multimodal terminal development) as
defined in 49 U.S.C. 47102(28), on-airport rail access projects, or
airport-owned ATCT relocation, reconstruction, repair, or improvements.
ii. Timeliness of implementation, with priority given to those
projects that can satisfy all statutory and administrative requirements
for grant award in FY 2022.
iii. Favorable consideration will be given to eligible and
justified terminal development (including multimodal terminal
development), on-airport rail access projects, and ATCT projects that:
a. Increase capacity and passenger access: The applicant should
describe the extent to which the project contributes to the functioning
and growth of the economy, including the extent to which the project
addresses congestion or service gaps in rural areas. The applicant
should demonstrate how the proposed project increases capacity,
provides ongoing market access to the airport by competing carriers as
economic and competitive conditions change, as well as how it
contributes to the functioning and growth of the economy, including the
extent to which the project addresses congestion or service gaps in
rural areas. The applicant should demonstrate how the proposed project
increases capacity and market access or relieves congestion based on
current and/or forecast needs.
b. Replace aging infrastructure: Applicants should describe how the
project addresses replacing or upgrading facilities that have reached
the end of their useful life. This includes information on the current
age and condition of the asset that will be affected by the project and
how the proposed project will improve asset condition. The applicant
should describe how the facility no longer meets the current or
forecasted operational needs of the airport. This includes the
renovation, expansion, or replacement of a facility that is too small
or cannot efficiently meet current or future demand. This also includes
projects aimed at terminal modernization or upgrades to meet the
changing user or community expectations. This can be met by including
multimodal terminal development, climate resiliency, sustainability
initiatives and practices incorporated therein, all with the goal of
providing a terminal that focuses on the most efficient movement of
passengers and baggage possible. This also includes projects that
address changing environmental conditions and improve resilience to
climate change, and that will be constructed consistent with the
Federal Flood Risk Management Standard, to the extent consistent with
current law.
c. Achieve compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), including expand accessibility for persons with disabilities:
Applicants should describe how the project increases mobility, expands
access, and improves connectivity for people with disabilities both
inside and outside the terminal or ATCT. The information should
demonstrate how the proposed project will meet the requirements under
the Americans with Disabilities Act and improve equitable access for
people with disabilities.
d. Improve airport access for historically disadvantaged
populations: Applicants should describe how the project increases
mobility, expands access, and improves connectivity for historically
disadvantaged populations. The information should demonstrate how the
proposed project provides a significant local and regional impact and
benefits historically disadvantaged populations. The applicant should
include a description of public engagement on a local and regional
level that has occurred, demonstrates proactive inclusivity of
historically disadvantaged communities, and the degree to which public
comments and commitments have been integrated into the project. DOT is
providing a list of communities that meet the definition of
Historically Disadvantaged Communities, available at <a href="https://adip.faa.gov/agis/public/#/disadvantagedCommunities">https://adip.faa.gov/agis/public/#/disadvantagedCommunities</a>.
e. Improve energy efficiency including upgrading environmental
systems, upgrading plant facilities, and achieving Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED) accreditation standards: Applicants
should provide information demonstrating how the proposed project will
reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from a reduction in
energy consumption through energy efficient design. This includes how
the project may facilitate the airport in achieving LEED accreditation
standards through reliance on alternative energy, water use reduction,
sustainable site selection and development, responsible materials
selection and waste management, incorporating lower-carbon pavement and
construction materials, enhanced indoor environmental quality, use of
terminal facility for renewable energy production, or other
sustainability efforts (e.g., vehicle charging stations attached to the
terminal) that further reduce long-term impact on climate. A proposed
project, including utility support facilities, should be part of an
overall plan that sets targets to lower carbon emissions, working
toward a carbon-neutral airport by 2050.
f. Improve airfield safety through terminal relocation: Applicants
should describe how the proposed terminal project is improving airfield
safety through the relocation of the terminal building or its
components. This could also include a project to relocate a terminal
that assists in addressing nonstandard airfield configurations.
g. Encourage actual and potential competition: The applicant should
describe the extent to which the project promotes competition in air
service by providing greater ability to accommodate new entrants;
increasing the ability of competing air carriers to access constrained
facilities on an ongoing basis; and facilitating the efficient, and
reliable movement of passengers and cargo. The applicant may also wish
to describe how the project will offer regional and national impacts by
improving the economic strength of regions and cities; increase
opportunities for tourism; result in long-term job creation by
supporting good-
[[Page 10893]]
paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union directly
related to the project; and help the United States compete in a global
economy by encouraging the location of important industries and future
innovations and technology in the U.S.
iv. ATCT projects that relocate, reconstruct, repair, or improve an
airport-owned ATCT will also be evaluated based on overall impact on
the national airspace system including age of facility, operational
constraints, and nonstandard facilities.
v. FAA will provide a preference to projects that achieve a
complete development objective, even if awards for the project must be
phased, and prioritize projects that have received partial awards.
vi. The applicant should describe whether and how project delivery
and implementation create good-paying jobs with the free and fair
choice to join a union to the greatest extent possible, the use of
demonstrated strong labor standards, practices and policies (including
for direct employees, contractors, and sub-contractors); use of project
labor agreements; distribution of workplace rights notices; the use of
Local Hire Provisions; \1\ registered apprenticeships; or other similar
standards or practices. The applicant should describe how planned
methods of project delivery and implementation (for example, use of
Project Labor Agreements and/or Local Hire Provisions,\2\ training and
placement for underrepresented workers) provide opportunities for all
workers, including workers underrepresented in construction jobs to be
trained and placed in good-paying jobs directly related to the project.
FAA will consider this information in evaluating the application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ IIJA div. B Section 25019 provides authority to use
geographical and economic hiring preferences, including local hire,
for construction jobs, subject to any applicable State and local
laws, policies, and procedures.
\2\ Project labor agreement should be consistent with the
definition and standards outlined in Executive Order 14063.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Review and Selection Process
Applications will be evaluated based on the information submitted
related to the above criteria in E.1 to ensure responsiveness to this
NOFO and the intent of the ATP. Applicants are encouraged to submit
projects that meet as many of the above criteria as possible, but do
not need to meet all criteria to be considered. Federal awarding agency
personnel will evaluate applications based on how well the projects
meet the criteria in E.1, including project eligibility, justification,
readiness, and the availability of matching funds. The FAA will also
consider projects that advance the goals of the following Executive
Orders: The President's January 20, 2021, Executive Order 13990,
``Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to
Tackle the Climate Crisis''; the President's January 20, 2021,
Executive Order 13985, ``Advancing Racial Equity and Support for
Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government''; the
President's January 27, 2021, Executive Order 14008, ``Tackling the
Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad''; and the President's July 9, 2021,
Executive Order 14036, ``Promoting Competition in the American
Economy.''
3. Integrity and Performance Check
Prior to making a Federal award with a total amount of Federal
share greater than the simplified acquisition threshold, FAA is
required to review and consider any information about the applicant
that is in the designated integrity and performance system accessible
through SAM (currently FAPIIS) (see 41 U.S.C. 2313). An applicant, at
its option, may review information in the designated integrity and
performance systems accessible through SAM and comment on any
information about itself that a Federal awarding agency previously
entered. FAA will consider any comments by the applicant, in addition
to the other information in the designated integrity and performance
system, in making a judgment about the applicant's integrity, business
ethics, and record of performance under Federal awards when completing
the review of risk posed by applicants as described in Sec. 200.206.
F. Federal Award Administration Information
1. Federal Award Notices
BIL awards are announced through a Congressional notification
process and a DOT Secretary's Notice of Intent to Fund. The FAA RO/ADO
representative will contact the airport with further information and
instructions. Once all pre-grant actions are complete, the FAA RO/ADO
will offer the airport sponsor a grant for the announced project. This
offer may be provided through postal mail or by electronic means. Once
this offer is signed by the airport sponsor, it becomes a grant
agreement. Awards made under this program are subject to conditions and
