| Federal Program Description |
Grants-in-Aid for Airports (AIP), administered under the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), funds the planning and development of a safe and efficient national airport system to satisfy the needs of the aviation interests of the United States. This includes airport improvement grants for development projects that enhance capacity, safety, and security, as well as for aircraft noise compatibility planning and programs. This program provides $1.1 billion for discretionary grants to airports, with priority given to those projects that can be completed within two years. One additional key provision of the Act is that no funds in the Act may supplant any other State or local funds that were to be used on a project. Because of the lead time associated with the consideration and passage of the legislation, FAA has been able to identify a national pool of high priority candidate projects that greatly exceeds the ER funding now available. Based upon this threshold, FAA has identified a candidate pool of the highest priority projects by region and distributed these funds to the Regions. |
