[top] Background: The FAA uses this collection to solicit the information necessary to evaluate and select airport projects for funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), signed on November 15, 2021. The IIJA provides about $1,020,000,000 annually, for five years, to award competitive grants for airport terminal and tower development. Of this amount, about $1,000,000,000 annually, for five years, is for the Airport Terminal Program; $20,000,000 annually, for five years, is for an Airport-owned Contract Tower Program. Additionally, the IIJA directs funds that are unobligated at the end of the fourth fiscal year after first made available under the Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) program to be converted to a new competitive funding program for the fifth and final fiscal year of availability. Of the amounts converted, the first $100,000,000 is set aside to augment the IIJA's Airport-owned Contract Tower Program grant program. Funds exceeding $100,000,000 are then awarded through the new competitive grant program, called the Airport Infrastructure Grant Funding Reallocation Program (AFR). The information collected is based on grant considerations and priorities outlined in the IIJA. Project consideration areas include increasing terminal capacity and passenger access; replacing aging infrastructure; achieving compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. 12101, et seq. ); improving airport access for historically disadvantaged populations; improving energy efficiency; improving airfield safety through terminal relocation; encouraging actual and potential

competition; impact on the National Airspace System; reducing emissions; reducing noise impact to the surrounding community; reducing dependence on the electrical grid; and providing general benefits to the surrounding community. The information FAA is collecting will include general airport information, a project overview, and narratives on project consideration areas as outlined in the IIJA. Airport owners and managers who want to pursue funding and obtain benefits from the IIJA Programs will submit information via FAA Form 5100-144 to compete for grants. Approximately 3,075 airports are eligible to compete for this funding, but, based on previous-year submissions, the FAA expects only a small subset of eligible airports to submit project information through this competitive grant process.

Respondents: Approximately 655 airports.

Frequency: Annually.

Estimated Average Burden per Response: 6 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,930 hours for all respondents.

Issued in Washington, DC, on May 19, 2025.

Manager, Infrastructure Branch Office of Airports.
