  2. Federal Update Recap of FY 2015 AIP Program FY 2016 AIP Program Hot Topics Questions and Answers

  3. 2015 AIP Program October 1, 2014 – September 30, 2015 ATL-ADO Total Program = $149 Million GA: $28.3 Million for the Commercial Airports GA: $41.9 Million for the General Aviation Airports GA: $35.6 Million in Discretionary GA: Total = $70.2 Million

  4. FAA/Airport Funding Authorization – HR 3614: Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2015 – Extended authorization of FAA programs and revenue authorities for 6 months, through March 31, 2016. • Authorized at $1.675 Billion through March 31, 2016. (50% of FY-15 Authorization Level) Appropriations – HR 2029: Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 – Provides FY-16 appropriations for continuing projects and activities of the Federal Government through September, 30, 2016. • Provides for continued AIP funding at FY-15 levels ($3.35B) • However, the Authorization must be extended through Sept 30th, 2016 before we can obligate the full $3.35B. (Currently limited to approx. 50% through March 31, 2016)

  5. FY 2016 AIP Program • All Airports Submitted Their Annual CIP’s in December 2014 • ADO Established 2016 AIP Program in May 2015 • ADO PM’s currently conducting Pre-Grant Conferences for FY16 Projects • First Grants – Possibly by March 31st, 2016 • Work with ADO PM on Bidding schedules • Bid Opening for all projects NLT July 1, 2016 • Final Applications based on bids due to ADO by July 15, 2016

  6. FY 2017 AIP Program • CIP Call Letter Issued in October 2015 (Dec. 1 submittal) • ADO PM’s are currently reviewing CIP’s • This April – Selection of Projects & Disc. Program • We Continue to Encourage Prior-year Design

  7. Hot Topics for Airports Safety • Runway Safety Areas – FAA is wrapping up a 15 year effort to improve all Runway Safety Areas at air carrier airports. This was congressionally mandated, and it was to be completed by the end of calendar year 2015. Some ATO projects to relocate certain NAVAIDS and related equipment that are not fixed by function are ongoing. ATO has until the end of CY2017 to complete their RSA projects. • Runway Incursions – The prevention of runway incursions continues to be a high safety priority of the FAA. The Office of Airports recently took an in depth look at runway incursion data for a six year period. We found that airport geometry played an important role in many of these incidents. In late 2015, The Office of Airports unveiled a new comprehensive and multiyear program to work with airports to identify, prioritize, and implement projects to correct these confusing airport geometry to reduce runway incursions. (Runway Incursion Mitigation (RIM) Program)

  8. Hot Topics for Airports Safety Continued: Wildlife – Please review your wildlife hazard assessment and management plan and update as necessary. Sign and Markings - There have been several sign and marking standards changes over the last couple of years. We encourage sponsors to review these Advisory Circulars and ensure your airports meet the standards.

  9. Hot Topics for Airports Safety Continued: Common 139 Discrepancies

  10. Hot Topics for Airports Safety Continued: Common 139 Discrepancies Old markings must be removed

  11. Hot Topics for Airports Safety Continued: Common 139 Discrepancies Light fixtures missing bolts

  12. Hot Topics for Airports Safety Continued: Common 139 Discrepancies Faded/Discolored Runway Markings

  13. Hot Topics for Airports Safety Continued: Common 139 Discrepancies Maintenance of Airfield Markings

  14. Hot Topics for Airports Safety Continued: Common 139 Discrepancies Sign standards/maintenance

  15. Hot Topics for Airports Safety Management Systems (SMS) – ARP or “Internal” SMS: • FAA conducts safety assessment primarily for review/approval of: • CSPP • MoS • New/revised ALP • The “trigger” for ARP SMS is the FAA review/approval of the action and is not dependent upon AIP/PFC eligibility • Implementation Schedule • June 1, 2011: Large hub airports • June 1, 2015: Medium hub airports • June 1, 2016: Small hub airports

  16. Hot Topics for Airports Safety Management Systems (SMS) – Part 139 or “External” SMS Rulemaking: • Rule expected to be published no earlier than mid-2017 • PGL 13-06: AIP funding available to some airports for development of SMS Implementation Plan and SMS Manual • Part 139 certificate holder maintains their own SMS • Must address all 4 components of SMS • ARP provides oversight through the Part 139 ACSI program • Airport deliverables (as proposed rule is written) • SMS Implementation Plan development • Class I airports: 6 months • Class II, III, and IV airports: 9 months • SMS Program Implementation • Class I airports: 18 months • Class II, III, and IV airports: 24 months

  17. Hot Topics for Airports Compliance • Use of Airport Revenue/FAA Policy on Aviation Fuel Taxes - The FAA issued its final policy on proceeds from taxes on aviation fuel for publication in the Federal Register on November 7, 2014. This action finalizes the amendment of FAA’s Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenues (Revenue Use Policy). • The FAA’s Final Revenue Use Policy considers state or local taxes on aviation fuel (except taxes in effect on December 30, 1987) to be airport revenue subject to the revenue-use requirement. However, state and local taxes on aviation fuel may be used to support state aviation programs or for noise mitigation purposes, on or off airport. The policy amendment applies prospectively to the use of proceeds from both new taxes and to existing taxes that do not qualify for grandfathering from revenue use requirements. States and counties have one year from December 8, 2014 to develop a plan to comply and the plan should take no more than 3 years to implement.

  18. Hot Topics for Airports Compliance Continued: Non-Aeronautical use – In 2014, FAA issued a policy of non-aeronautical use of aviation facilities. This policy actually takes a common sense approach to use of aviation facilities on your airport and allows for exceptions based on aviation need. Leases – It is important to charge fair market value for non aeronautical leases. FAA must review these leases prior to execution. Commercial Space – In 2015 a letter was sent to all airport sponsors of NPIAS airports asking for early coordination if interested in space activity at your airport.

  19. Hot Topics for Airports Compliance Continued: Special Events – (involving temporary airport closure) • Complete or Partial Closure of Airport Facility • Coordinate with ADO PM through 7460-1 (iOE/AAA) • Timely • Include Safety Plan • Crowd Control Plan – FSDO review – 45 days • Fair Market compensation • Refer to FAA Order 5190.6B, Compliance Manual

  20. Hot Topics for Airports Compliance Continued: Unmanned Aircraft Systems – The FAA has established the UAS Integration Office to provide a one-stop portal for information. Information can be found on the FAA website at www.faa.gov/uas

  21. Hot Topics for Airports Planning Project Coordination - We can be extremely helpful in project coordination both on and off the airport, but the key in this is early coordination. • We want to ensure you do not inadvertently impact your airport with both on or off airport development. Potential impacts include – limiting future growth of your airport both physically and financially or reducing capacity through airspace restrictions • We want to make sure you are compliant with laws and regulations such as NEPA, 14 CFR part 77 and part 139; and in compliance with grant assurances. Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) – On September 27, 2012, the FAA Office of Airports issued interim guidance to clarify FAA Advisory Circular 5300-13 Airport Design. This guidance requests airport sponsors to provide an alternative analysis for any new or modified land use in the RPZ.

  22. Hot Topics for Airports Airports Geographic Information System (AGIS) –Applicability • Changes to safety critical data – all NPIAS airports • Obstruction surveys • Extend/shorten runway • Modification of runway profile • NAVAID installation/relocation • Installation/modification of EMAS, stopway, or clearway • Other (see AGIS Transition Policy, Table 1)

  23. Hot Topics for Airports Airports Geographic Information System (AGIS) –Applicability Continued: • Changes to non-safety critical data – all primary airports and non-primary airports certified under Part 139 and/or with an ATCT (135/608 ASO NPIAS airports) • Basic rule of thumb – does the project affect the ALP? • Construct/reconstruct taxiway or apron • Building construction • Install fencing • Other (see the AGIS Transition Policy, Table 2)

  24. Hot Topics for Airports Airports Geographic Information System (AGIS) –AC 150-5300-18C: • AC 150/5300-18C was published September 30, 2015 • Added information/clarification regarding 14 CFR Part 77 analysis and ALP data collection • Updated shape file naming conventions • Added additional feature details • Updated Table 2-1, Survey Requirement Matrix • Although -18C is published, the AGIS portal is not configured to accept the new schema at this time. • Projects that are bid with the -18B schema do not have to convert to the -18C schema • AGIS will accept -18B schema at least through FY16

  25. Hot Topics for Airports Airports Geographic Information System (AGIS) –Surface Analysis and Visualization (SAV) Tool: • Provides airport sponsors the ability to: • Define surfaces for verification and evaluation • View surfaces and obstacles in 3D environment • Identify and verify surface penetrations • Assess risk, identify mitigation, and build compliance plan • The SAV Tool does not evaluate for: • Offset approach conditions • Excessive Decision Altitude • Approaches with Visual Descent points outside 10,000 feet (1.654 NM)

  26. Hot Topics for Airports Airports Geographic Information System (AGIS) –Modification of Standards (MoS) Coordination Tool: • Oct 2015 – MoS Tool active on AGIS portal and available nationwide. • Testing still in progress – FAA Southwest Region began testing in October 2015 • Use of MoS Tool expected to become required this FY • FAAO 5300.1G, Modifications to Agency Airport Design, Construction, and Equipment Standards will be published concurrently with the tool

  27. Hot Topics for Airports Airports Geographic Information System (AGIS) –Electronic Airport Layout Plan (eALP): • Improvements made in FY15 • Gap analysis identified changes to functionality, capabilities, user interface, and eALP data sheet production • FY16: One airport from each of the 9 regions will assemble & evaluate eALP module during FY16. • Pending full deployment of eALP, consultants should provide the sponsor a legacy ALP

  28. Hot Topics for Airports Airports Geographic Information System (AGIS) –5010 Module: • Coming soon …. • AC 150/5300-19, Airport Data and Information Program, was published September 30, 2015 • Supports submission of aeronautical data by airport sponsors • AGIS data • Data certified by the airport sponsor via electronic means • Data certified by the airport sponsor via official letter • Although -19 is published, the AGIS tool is not available • In the interim, continue to follow AC 150/5200-35A, Submitting Airport Master Record
