    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.
