The FAA will consider recommendations from state aeronautical agencies as part of the overall evaluation process. [FR Doc. 2018–14675 Filed 7–6–18; 8:45 am] Evaluation Criteria BILLING CODE 4910–13–P sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES The FAA will consider supplemental discretionary funding requests based on (but not limited to) the following criteria: • Eligibility and justification of the project pursuant to existing AIP eligibility rules; • Ability of the project to enhance the long-term economic sustainability of the airport; 8 • The airport sponsor’s previous track record in project delivery and grant management (including any issues related to the airport’s existing Federal grant obligations); • Likelihood of the proposed project to be ready to proceed into construction during the same fiscal year as grant award or within 6 months of grant award; 9 • Ability of the project to compete for regular AIP discretionary funding—i.e., FAA may give higher consideration to projects that might not otherwise get funded or that might not otherwise get funded as soon; and • For requests from airports that do not meet the statutory criteria for ‘‘priority consideration,’’ the strength of the justification for why the FAA should consider the project. Please note that under both deadlines: • The FAA will not make its conclusions public or announce any planned grants from the supplemental funding until after completing the required congressional notification for each proposed grant award. • After evaluating all requests, the FAA may encourage an airport sponsor to prepare a final grant application if the FAA believes the project may compete well. • Complete and timely grant applications (OMB Form SF 424, including all required information) will still be required as part of the final grant application package in accordance with the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. 8 The FAA encourages airport sponsors to provide some level of detail regarding how the project will address unmet aeronautical demand, increase aeronautical revenues, reduce future capital or operating costs, or otherwise strengthen the airport’s financial stability (beyond the operational benefits of the immediate proposed capital development). Airport sponsors should also demonstrate how the proposed project is consistent with the airport’s existing master plan. 9 See footnote 4, which is applicable in this context as well.
