Opportunity Information: Apply for FAA ARP AIP G 22 001
The FY 2022 Competitive Funding Opportunity for Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Discretionary Grants is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant competition providing roughly $1.5 billion in discretionary funding for airport capital improvement and rehabilitation projects. The program is authorized under 49 U.S.C. 47115 and uses the FAA's established, iterative competitive selection process to award annually appropriated discretionary funds. In practice, this means projects are not funded automatically; they are prioritized and selected through FAA review cycles, and final awards depend on Congressional appropriations, statutory requirements, and overall program funding availability.
A key feature of this opportunity is that the FAA does not start from scratch when identifying potential projects and eligible sponsors. Before the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is released, the FAA relies on two related planning tools: the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) and the Airports Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP). The NPIAS is the FAA's official list of public-use airports considered significant to national air transportation and therefore eligible for AIP funding. The ACIP is a rolling, 3-year planning and prioritization process where airports and FAA regions identify and document potential projects. These processes are laid out in FAA Order 5090.5, which governs how the NPIAS and ACIP are formulated and maintained. As a result, applicants are generally expected to have projects that have already been surfaced through the ACIP process and tied to an airport that is already in the NPIAS.
Eligibility centers on the concept of an airport "sponsor" proposing a project at a public-use airport included in the current NPIAS, consistent with 49 U.S.C. 47105(b)(2). Sponsors can include public agencies that own an airport or lease it from another governmental entity, private entities that own a public-use airport, and Indian tribes or pueblos that own or lease a public-use airport. The listing provided in the source information also includes common government applicant types such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and special district governments, but the FAA's AIP Handbook provides a more complete breakdown of sponsor categories. The relevant reference is Table 2-1 of the AIP Handbook (FAA Order 5100.38), which describes sponsor types and related eligibility nuances in more detail.
From a funding mechanics standpoint, this opportunity is a discretionary grant program in the transportation category (CFDA/Assistance Listing 20.106) administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's FAA. The opportunity number is FAA-ARP-AIP-G-22-001. While the overall funding pool is approximately $1.5 billion, individual awards can be substantial, with an indicated award ceiling of up to $50,000,000. The original closing date listed for the NOFO was June 30, 2022, and the opportunity was created on April 20, 2022. Because the FAA awards discretionary AIP funds through an ongoing competitive process informed by ACIP and national priorities, applicants typically need to align their projects with FAA eligibility rules and prioritization criteria described in the NOFO and the AIP guidance materials.
Overall, the program is designed to help airports fund major airside and landside infrastructure needs that preserve and improve the national airport system, with the FAA using established planning documents (NPIAS and ACIP) to ensure projects are eligible, vetted, and positioned for competitive consideration. For detailed eligibility, sponsor classifications, and project requirements, applicants are directed to the FY 2022 NOFO itself, the AIP Handbook, and the FAA's NPIAS information page.Apply for FAA ARP AIP G 22 001
