FAA Update
FY12 AIP Funding
• AIP reauthorization extension through 2/17/12
• The short extension does not allow sufficient time for funding distribution
• A long-term reauthorization bill is being debated in Congress
• We are hopeful a multi year reauthorization will be passed this FY
Reauthorization

FY12 Environmental Deadline
Environmental documents should be completed by December 31, 2011
• Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for Environmental Assessment (EA)
• Record of Decision (ROD) for Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
• Submission of extraordinary circumstance form to support categorical exclusions
14Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Update
What’s new for AIP grants?• New electronic grants payment system (eInvoicing) will
replace ECHO. The new system will be on-line this summer.
• U.S. DOT requires a list of names for all eInvoicing users by 2/15. Sponsors need to provide names to FAA Program Managers as soon as possible.
• National standardized grant agreement is being developed (it will replace the master agreement).
• All FY12 grant agreements must be notarized, in addition to the seal. (additional guidance will be forthcoming).
15Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Update
Are You Ready for FY13?
Ready means that by 12/31/12 you have:
• Planning complete
• Project on an approved ALP
• FAA environmental complete (FONSI, ROD, or submission of extraordinary circumstance form)
• Airspace review and approval complete
• Design complete and project ready for bid
16Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Update
PFC Fundamentals - timing is everything
Target date to start collections
FAA has 120 days from date final, complete application submitted
FAA final decision has to be at least
30 days earlier
Consultation and public notice have to be at least 30 days (but
less than 6 months) before application submitted
Agency must give airlines 30 days notice of
consultation
Strongly urge advance coordination with ADO, including review of draft consultation and application materials
18Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Update
PFC Recurring Issues Continue
Criteria for collection at $4.0 or $4.50 levels (must achieve one of the following) : - Improve air safety (i.e. runway/taxiway rehabilitation)
- Improve air security (security checkpoint improvements) - Increase competition among air carriers (ticketing and baggage
handling improvements)
- Reduce current or anticipated congestion (terminal expansion, apron expansion).
- Reduce the impact of aviation noise on people living near the airport (residential or school noise reduction program)
19Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Update
Vehicle Pedestrian Deviations• In FY11, there were 43 Vehicle/Pedestrian related Runway Incursions (VPD-
RIs) in AWP. This is by far the highest number of all Regions.
• To date in FY12, there have been 6 V/PD Runway Incursions in AWP. – We need your vigilance as we move into spring and summer which are our peak times for
V/PD RIs.
• Reducing VPDs will continue to be a high priority. – Expect us to investigate each event under the authority of Part 139 and/or Grant Assurance
19.– Also expect a quick escalation up the FAA Chain of Command if your airport experiences
repeated VPDs. (More than 2 Runway Incursions or Surface Incidents)
• Other initiatives include:– Participate in Regional Runway Safety Action Teams and encourage local air traffic control
tower managers to conduct local RSATs at least annually.– Increased focus on funding of eligible RSAT action items, access control, and airfield
guidance sign projects that may help reduce V/PDs.
20Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Update
Runway Safety Area Program• All practicable improvements to RSAs at Part 139 airports, including
NavAids related actions, must be completed by December 30, 2015.
• AWP program is faced with timing & funding challenges that require everyone’s attention and commitment to ensure meeting our goals.
• By the end of 2012, we expect to complete RSA projects at: - Long Beach 7L-25R
- Prescott 3R-21L - Arcata 14-32
• In 2013, we’re expecting to complete RSA projects at:- Burbank 15-33 - Sonoma 14-32 - San Francisco 10L-28R - Grand Canyon Nat’l Park 3-21- San Francisco 10R-28L
• Our Draft 2012 through 2015 ACIP, includes approximately $400 million in AIP funding for RSA projects. This means that other, lower priority, projects must be deferred to meet our 2015 goal.
21Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Update
Safety Management System (SMS)• Airports implementation of SMS is limited to Large Hub Airport projects only until
further notice. FAA-Air Traffic Organization (ATO) implementation of SMS may include any project with potential to impact operation of the National Airspace System.
• AWP has identified the following large hub airport projects that require further screening under the SMS process in 2012:
– McCarran (LAS) Two Taxiway Rehabilitations (CSPP). – Honolulu (HNL) Rehabilitate Taxiway Z (design only). San Francisco (SFO) Runway 10L-28R and 10R-28L Runway Safety Areas. Los Angeles (LAX) Construct two aprons at Bradley Terminal and Taxiway “T”. Phoenix (PHX) Rehab Taxiway “B8”.
• In consultation with the FAA-ATO, we have identified a likely need to conduct Safety Risk Management Panels (SRMP) for planned major runway rehab projects at Van Nuys and Deer Valley airports.
• Other SRMPs may be initiated by FAA-ATO.
22Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Update
Airport Design Standards Update• FAA is working on update to Advisory Circular 150/5300-13, Airport Design.
• FAA’s goal is to publish AC 150/5300-13A by the end of Fiscal Year 12.
• Principal Changes are in the areas of:– Chapter 3, Runway Design– Chapter 4, Taxiway and Taxilane Design– Declared Distances and RSA Application– Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) – Taxiway Design Group (TDG) Concept for Fillet Design– Aircraft Reference Code (ACRC) and Taxiway Design
Group (TDG) designation– Minimum separation between non-intersecting runways– Runway incursion prevention geometry for new construction – Consolidation of numerous runway design tables to one design
requirements matrix – Table 3-5
• Airport operators, consultants, and contractors will have an opportunity to comment through direct outreach from our Headquarters office and/or through your respective industry groups.
23Federal AviationAdministration
FAA Update
National ADO Initiatives
• Geographic Balancing (Geo-balancing)
– National redistribution of resources to better serve our customers
– New Phoenix ADO to serve AZ and NV• Phoenix office will initially report to LAX ADO
