Type of Review: Revision of an information collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on December 16, 2015 (80 FR 78284). No comments were received. Codification of Certain U.S. Transportation Laws at 49 U.S.C., repealed the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as amended, and the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979, as amended, and re-codified them without substantive change at Title 49, U.S.C., which is referred to as the “Act”. The Act provides funding for airport planning and development projects at airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. The Act also authorizes funds for noise compatibility planning and to carry out noise compatibility programs. The information required by this program is necessary to protect the Federal interest in safety, efficiency, and utility of the Airport. Data is collected to meet report requirements of 2 CFR part 200 for certifications and representations, financial management and performance measurement.
Respondents: Approximately 12,607 applicants.
Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 9 hours.
