14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–19 Edition) 

§ 151.61 

requested, apply to the FAA, through 
the Area Manager, for payment of the 
United States share of the allowable 
project costs of the acquisition, includ-
ing any acquisition that is completed 
before executing the grant agreement 
and is part of the airport development 
included in the project. 

§ 151.61

Grant payments: Partial. 

(a) Subject to the final determina-

tion of allowable project costs as pro-
vided in § 151.63 partial grant payments 
for project costs may be made to a 
sponsor upon application. Unless pre-
viously agreed otherwise, a sponsor 
may apply for partial payments on a 
monthly basis. The payments may be 
paid, upon application, on the basis of 
the costs of airport development that 
is accomplished or on the basis of the 
estimated cost of airport development 
expected to be accomplished. 

(b) Except as otherwise provided, par-

tial grant payments are made in 
amounts large enough to bring the ag-
gregate amount of all partial payments 
to the estimated United States share of 
the project costs of the airport develop-
ment accomplished under the project 
as of the date of the sponsor’s latest 
application for payment. In addition, if 
the sponsor applies, a partial grant 
payment is made as an advance pay-
ment in an amount large enough to 
bring the aggregate amount of all par-
tial payments to the estimated United 
States share of the estimated project 
costs of the airport development ex-
pected to be accomplished within 30 
days after the date of the sponsor’s ap-
plication for advance payment. How-
ever, no partial payment may be made 
in an amount that would bring the ag-
gregate amount of all partial payments 
for the project to more than 90 percent 
of the estimated United States share of 
the total estimated cost of all airport 
development included in the project, 
but not including contingency items, 
or 90 percent of the maximum obliga-
tion of the United States as stated in 
the grant agreement, whichever 
amount is the lower. In determining 
the amount of a partial grant payment, 
those project costs that the Adminis-
trator considers to be of questionable 
allowability are deducted both from 
the amount of proj- ect costs incurred 

and from the amount of the estimated 
total project cost. 

§ 151.63

Grant payments: Semifinal 

and final. 

(a) Whenever airport development on 

a project is delayed or suspended for an 
appreciable period of time for reasons 
beyond the sponsor’s control and the 
allowability of the project costs of all 
airport development completed has 
been determined on the basis of an 
audit and review of all costs, a semi-
final grant payment may be made in an 
amount large enough to bring the ag-
gregate amount of all partial grant 
payments for the project to the United 
States share of all allowable project 
costs incurred, even if the amount is 
more than the 90 percent limitation 
prescribed in § 151.61(b). However, it 
may not be more than the maximum 
obligation of the United States as stat-
ed in the grant agreement. 

(b) Whenever the project is com-

pleted in accordance with the grant 
agreement, the sponsor may apply for 
final payment. The final payment is 
made to the sponsor if— 

(1) A final inspection of all work at 

the airport site has been made jointly 
by the Area Manager and representa-
tives of the sponsor and the contractor, 
unless the Area Manager agrees to a 
different procedure for final inspection. 

(2) A final audit of the project ac-

count has been completed by appro-
priate personnel of the FAA; and 

(3) The sponsor has furnished final 

‘‘as constructed’’ plans, unless other-
wise agreed to by the Administrator. 

(c) Based upon the final inspection, 

the final audit, the plans, and the docu-
ments and supporting information re-
quired by § 151.57(a), the Administrator 
determines the total amount of the al-
lowable project costs and pays the 
sponsor the United States’ share, less 
the total amount of all prior payments. 

§ 151.65

Memoranda and hearings. 

(a) At any time before the FAA 

issues a grant offer for a project, any 
public agency or person having a sub-
stantial interest in the disposition of 
the project application may file a 
memorandum supporting or opposing it 
with the Area Manager of the area in
