2012 – 2015 ACIP Planning– Project Need and timing

• Special considerations for runway extension, supplemental runway, and land acquisition projects

– Airspace Review

– Status of Environmental Analysis• Presume 6-months for FAA to make Cat Ex determination• Presume 18-months for EA

– Status and Plan for Engineering and Design (do not exceed 30% design before NEPA is done)

– Overall funding strategy:• Use of entitlement funds on high priority projects• Project phasing• LOI or virtual LOI• Multiyear (carryover and reimbursement)• Use of PFC• Local Funding (Matching and in lue of AIP)

until the AIP is reauthorized. Anticipate funding levels similar to recent years.
