OMB Control Number: 2120-0806.
Title: Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Competitive
Grant 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 23, 2025 (90 FR 22151). The FAA uses this
collection to solicit the information necessary to evaluate and select
airport projects for funding under the Infrastructure Investment and
Jobs Act (IIJA), signed on November 15, 2021. The IIJA provides about
$1,020,000,000 annually, for five years, to award competitive 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; $20,000,000 annually, for five years, is for an Airport-owned
Contract Tower Program. Additionally, the IIJA directs funds that are
unobligated at the end of the fourth fiscal year after first made
available under the Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) program to be
converted to a new competitive funding program for the fifth and final
fiscal year of availability. Of the amounts converted, the first
$100,000,000 is set aside to augment the IIJA's Airport-owned Contract
Tower Program grant program. Funds exceeding $100,000,000 are then
awarded through the new competitive grant program, called the Airport
Infrastructure Grant Funding Reallocation Program (AFR). The
information collected is based on grant considerations and priorities
outlined in the IIJA. 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.); improving airport access for historically
disadvantaged populations; improving energy efficiency; improving
airfield safety through terminal relocation; encouraging actual and
potential competition; impact on the National Airspace System; reducing
emissions; reducing noise impact to the surrounding community; reducing
dependence on the electrical grid; and providing general benefits to
the surrounding community. The information FAA is collecting will
include general airport information, a project overview, and narratives
on project consideration areas as outlined in the IIJA. Airport owners
and managers who want to pursue funding and obtain benefits from the
IIJA 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, based on previous-year submissions, the FAA expects
only a small subset of eligible airports to submit project information
through this competitive 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 August 11, 2025.
Jesse Carriger,
Acting Director, Office of Airport Planning and Programming.
