La. Admin. Code tit. 70 § IX-335

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024

Section IX-335 - Project Available for FAA Funding

A. Special consideration for projects that will receive FAA funding is included in the priority system. The priority system is a listing of the projects in the order that the state considers implementation desirable based on the state's overall aviation development policies.

B. There are two decisions that DOTD makes when seeking FAA funding for its program. Projects planned at NPIAS airports that are types in which FAA will participate are noted in the CIP. This enables DOTD to present a proposed program of projects to the FAA that are eligible for FAA funding and that reflect state priorities. The Aviation Section then negotiates with the FAA to secure federal funding for top ranked projects. The second consideration for FAA funding is projects the FAA will fund, that do not appear in the implementation program based on priority rankings. DOTD cannot reject a project that will receive funding from the FAA. In these cases, a project that has received a commitment for federal funds is to be automatically included in the list of projects for implementation in the current year. If the current year program is already developed, the project is given top priority in the next year program or may be funded by future FAA obligation funds or funds available from cost underruns. Therefore, it is important that airports seeking federal funding for projects that are eligible for matching funds from the aviation program coordinate their application with both the FAA and DOTD.
