Title: Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Airport Terminal and Tower
Project Information.
Form Numbers: 5100-144.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The FAA uses this collection to solicit the information
necessary to evaluate and select airport terminal and tower projects
for funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), signed on
November 15, 2021. The BIL provides about $1,020,000,000 annually, for
five years, to award competitive discretionary grants for airport
terminal and tower development. Of this amount, about $1,000,000,000
annually, for five years, is for the Airport Terminal Program, and
$20,000,000 annually, for five years, is for an Airport-owned Contract
Tower Program (referred to collectively as ``Airport Terminal and
Towers Programs''). The information collected is based on grant
considerations and priorities outlined in the BIL. Project
consideration areas include increasing terminal capacity and passenger
access; replacing aging infrastructure; achieving compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. 12101, et seq.) and
expanding accessibility for persons with disabilities; improving
airport access for historically disadvantaged populations; improving
energy efficiency, including upgrading environmental systems, upgrading
plant facilities, and achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) accreditation standards; improving airfield safety
through terminal relocation; encouraging actual and potential
competition; and creating good paying jobs. The information FAA is
collecting will include general airport information, a project
overview, and narratives on project consideration areas as outlined in
the BIL. Airport owners and managers who want to pursue funding and
obtain benefits from the BIL Airport Terminal and Tower Programs will
submit information via FAA Form 5100-144 to compete for grants.
Approximately 3,075 airports are eligible to compete for this funding,
but FAA expects only a small subset of eligible airports to submit
project information through this competitive discretionary grant
process.
Respondents: Approximately 655 airports.
Frequency: Annually.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 6 Hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,930 Hours for all respondents.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 3, 2022.
Robin K. Hunt,
Manager, BIL Implementation Team, Office of Airports.
