Section 151.61

14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)

requested, apply to the FAA, through
the Area Manager, for payment of the
United States share of the allowable
project costs of the acquisition, including any acquisition that is completed
before executing the grant agreement
and is part of the airport development
included in the project.
Section 151.61 Grant payments: Partial.
(a) Subject to the final determination of allowable project costs as provided in Section 151.63 partial grant payments
for project costs may be made to a
sponsor upon application. Unless previously 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, partial grant payments are made in
amounts large enough to bring the aggregate amount of all partial payments
to the estimated United States share of
the project costs of the airport development 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 payment in an amount large enough to
bring the aggregate amount of all partial payments to the estimated United
States share of the estimated project
costs of the airport development expected to be accomplished within 30
days after the date of the sponsor-s application for advance payment. However, no partial payment may be made
in an amount that would bring the aggregate 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 obligation 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 Administrator 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.
Section 151.63 Grant
and final.

payments:

Semifinal

(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 semifinal grant payment may be made in an
amount large enough to bring the aggregate 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 Section 151.61(b). However, it
may not be more than the maximum
obligation of the United States as stated in the grant agreement.
(b) Whenever the project is completed 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 representatives 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 account has been completed by appropriate personnel of the FAA; and
(3) The sponsor has furnished final
 - as constructed -  plans, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrator.
(c) Based upon the final inspection,
the final audit, the plans, and the documents and supporting information required by Section 151.57(a), the Administrator
determines the total amount of the allowable project costs and pays the
sponsor the United States- share, less
the total amount of all prior payments.
Section 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 substantial interest in the disposition of
the project application may file a
memorandum supporting or opposing it
with the Area Manager of the area in
