Notification of the sponsor's intent to apply during fiscal year 1995 for any of its entitlement funds, including those unused from prior years, shall be in the form of a project preapplication or application (SF 424) submitted to the FAA field office no later than January 31, 1995. The FAA also recommends that all other airports or planning agencies expecting to apply for airport grant funds do so early in the fiscal year. Such prospective applicants should contact the appropriate FAA field office for information on that office's deadline. These offices will assist in the preparation of preapplications/applications and provide procedural information as needed. Prompt submission of complete requests by the deadline date will allow earlier funding decisions by the FAA regarding the availability of discretionary funds for program changes. It will permit completion of procedural requirements necessary for placing projects under grant and beginning construction in a timely manner within the fiscal year 1995 construction season. To achieve this, Airport sponsors should work with their respective FAA field offices to meet the deadlines established by those offices for completion of documentation for final applications, including construction bid prices, in order to have all entitlement funds under grant as early as possible in the fiscal year. Every effort should be made to have projects under grant by August 15, 1995. Failure to meet these deadlines could result in the deferral of award of a sponsor's entitlement funds until next fiscal year. Issued in Washington, DC, December 2, 1994. Stan Lou, Manager, Programming Branch. [FR Doc. 94-30226 Filed 12-7-94; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-13-M
