Title: Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Airport Terminal and Tower
Project Information.
Form Numbers: 5100-144.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on May 6, 2022 (87 FR 27200). The FAA will use 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 participate in the BIL
Airport Terminal Program and about 170 for Tower programs, but FAA
expects only a small subset of eligible airports to submit project
information through this competitive discretionary grant process.
Respondents: Approximately 755 submissions.
Frequency: Annually.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 6 Hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4,530 hours for all submissions.
Issued in Washington, DC.

Manager, BIL Implementation Team, Office of Airports.
