Deadline for Notification of Intent To
Use the Airport Improvement Program
(AIP) Primary, Cargo, and Nonprimary
Entitlement Funds for Fiscal Year 2010
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces
February 22, 2010, as the deadline for
each airport sponsor to notify the FAA
whether or not it will use its fiscal year
2010 entitlement funds available under
Public Law No. 111–117 to accomplish
Airport Improvement Program (AIP)-

eligible projects that the sponsor
previously identified through the
Airports Capital Improvement Plan
(ACIP) process during the preceding
year. If a sponsor does not declare their
intention regarding their fiscal year
2010 entitlement funds by February 22,
2010, FAA will be unable to take the
necessary actions to award these funds,
nor designate these funds as ‘‘protected’’
carryover funds. In addition, these
funds will not be carried over without
a legislative enactment that provides an
additional AIP authorization and an
extension of the FAA’s spending
authority from the Airport and Airway
Trust Fund beyond March 31, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Frank J. San Martin, Manager, Airports
Financial Assistance Division, APP–
500, on (202) 267–3831.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 49 of
the United States Code, section 47105(f),
provides that the sponsor of each airport
to which funds are apportioned shall
notify the Secretary by such time and in
a form as prescribed by the Secretary, of
the sponsor’s intent to apply for the
funds apportioned to it (entitlements).
This notice applies only to those
airports that have had entitlement funds
apportioned to them, except those
nonprimary airports located in
designated Block Grant States. Sponsors
intending to apply for any of their
available entitlement funds, including
those unused from prior years, shall
submit by February 22, 2010, a written
indication to the designated Airports
District Office (or Regional Office in
regions without Airports District
Offices) that they will submit a grant
application prior to February 26, 2010,
or by a prior date established by the
designated Airport District or Regional
Office.
This notice is promulgated to
expedite and prioritize the grant-making
process. In the past when there has been
full-year funding for AIP, the FAA has
established a deadline of May 1 for an
airport sponsor to declare whether it
will apply for, or defer use of its
entitlement funding. Considering that
Congress has authorized the AIP
program only until March 31, 2010, i.e.
into the middle of a fiscal year, the FAA
is establishing February 22, 2010, as the
deadline for each airport sponsor to
notify the FAA whether or not it will
use its fiscal year 2010 entitlement
funds.
The AIP grant program is operating
under the requirements of Public Law
No. 111–116, the ‘‘Federal Aviation
Administration Extension Act, Part II’’,
enacted on December 16, 2009, which
amends 49 U.S.C. 48103, to extend AIP

for a six-month period beginning
October 1, 2008 and ending on March
31, 2010. The FAA’s expenditure
authority from the Airport and Airway
Trust Fund will also expire on March
31, 2010, in the absence of an additional
statutory extension. Therefore, to avoid
the risk of not being able to carryover
funds if an additional extension is not
enacted, and to allow sufficient time for
accounting processing, AIP funds
should be obligated in FAA’s
accounting records on or before March
3, 2010.
Sponsors have three options available
regarding AIP grants during this period.
First, sponsors may elect to make an
application for a grant based on
entitlements currently available to them.
Sponsors that elect to take such a grant
must submit grant applications to the
FAA no later than February 26, 2010, in
order to meet the March 3, 2010
obligation deadline. Second, sponsors
may elect to wait until after the
February 22, 2010 notification date for
protection of carryover entitlements.
However, if a sponsor does not declare
their intention regarding the use of
fiscal year 2010 entitlement funds by
the February 22, 2010 deadline, FAA
will be unable to take the necessary
actions to designate these as ‘‘protected’’
carryover funds. In addition, these
funds would not be carried over without
a legislative enactment that provides
additional AIP authorization for fiscal
year 2010 and extends the FAA’s
spending authority from the Airport and
Airway Trust Fund beyond March 31,
2010. Third, sponsors may elect to
declare their intention to carryover the
entitlements by sending written
notification of such intention by
February 22, 2010. Unused carryover
entitlements that have been deferred
will be available in fiscal year 2011
pending legislative action to further
extend authorization and
appropriations.
If a statutory extension beyond March
31, 2010 of the AIP program and the
FAA’s authority to make expenditures
from the Trust Fund is enacted,
additional entitlement funds may be
available to sponsors. In that case,
airport sponsors who did not previously
declare their intention to carryover the
entitlements must provide a written
indication by May 1, 2010 to the
designated Airports District Office (or
Regional Office in regions without
Airports District Offices) that they will
either carryover or use their fiscal year
2010 entitlements by submitting a grant
application by August 1, 2010.

notice to advise the public that an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
will be prepared for a proposed
transportation improvement project in
Davis and Weber Counties, Utah.

620–1690, E-mail: rjefferies@utah.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with UDOT, will
prepare an EIS on a proposal to address
projected transportation demand in
western Davis and Weber Counties.
Although the exact limits of the study
area have not been defined, the
transportation needs that will be
evaluated in the proposal extend
northward from about Parrish Lane (400
South) in Centerville in Davis County to
about 1200 South in Marriott-Slaterville
in Weber County. The eastern limits of
the study area extend to I–15 and the
western limit will be just east of the
Great Salt Lake.
To provide for local and regional
travel demands, the regional
transportation plan developed by the
local Metropolitan Planning
Organization, Wasatch Front Regional
Council (WFRC), has identified the need
for an improved transportation system
in the study area. Alternatives under
consideration include (1) Taking noaction (no-build); (2) transportation
system management/travel demand
management; and (3) build alternatives.
A multi-modal evaluation of
PO 00000

transportation improvements in the
corridor will be the focus of the study.
Transportation build alternatives to be
studied include, but are not limited to:
(1) Collector roadway; (2) freeway; (3)
arterial roadway; (4) transit; (5)
combinations of any of the above; and
(6) other feasible alternatives identified
during the scoping process.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
appropriate Federal, State, and local
agencies, and to private organizations
and citizens who have previously
expressed or are known to have interest
in this proposal. A series of public
scoping meetings will be held in the
study area from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. as
follows: February 23, 2010, at Syracuse
High School, 665 South 2000 West,
Syracuse, UT; February 24, 2010, at
Davis County Legacy Events Center
(Davis County Fairgrounds) at 151
South 1100 West, Farmington, UT; and,
February 25, 2010, at West Weber
Elementary School, 4178 West 900
South, Ogden, UT. Public notices
announcing these meetings will be
published in the region. Information
regarding this meeting and the project
may also be obtained through a public
Web site, https://www.udot.utah.gov/
westdavis. In addition to the public
scoping meetings, public hearings will
be held after the draft EIS has been
prepared. The draft EIS will be available
for public and agency review and
comment before the public hearing.
To ensure that a full range of issues
related to the proposed action are
addressed and all significant issues
identified, comments and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Comments or questions concerning the
proposed action and the EIS should be
directed to the FHWA at the address
provided above by March 22, 2010.
