Gary:
We had already responded to your earlier request as what to do with our
NPE, so if you will allow us to change our mind, we will entertain helping
Wolf Point or others. OK?

Fred, the City will want to transfer (loan) their 2007 NPE funds to another
location as they will expire after this fiscal year. I understand that
Wolf Point or others may be contacting you to inquire about borrowing.
Thanks,

The City of Kalispell will not be using FY-2010 Part A entitlement funds at
the Kalispell City Airport (S27) and request that the funds be carried over
to FY-2011
You should have our CIP Data Sheet sent in 2009 for the 2010-2015 time
frame.

URGENT MESSAGE TO: MONTANA AIRPORT SPONSORS AND CONSULTANTS REGARDING USE
OF FY-2010 ENTITLEMENTS
On January 25, 2010 the FAA issued a Federal Register Notice announcing
February 22, 2010, as the deadline for each airport sponsor to notify the
FAA whether it will use its available fiscal year 2010 nonprimary or
primary entitlement funds. The Airport Improvement Program (AIP) was
authorized by Congress from October 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010. The
FAA's expenditure authority from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund will
also expire on March 31, 2010.
The FY-2010 AIP program that expires on March 31, 2010 is designated as the
Part A program and includes a portion of the FY-2010 entitlements and a
portion of entitlements carried-over from previous fiscal years. If
Congress passes an extension to the AIP beyond March 31, 2010, the program
will be designated as the FY-2010 Part B program and will include the
balance of FY-2010 entitlements and carryovers.
Sponsors must notify the Helena ADO in writing by February 22, 2010 of
their intention to use or carryover funds or FAA will be unable to take the
necessary actions to designate these as "protected"' carryover funds.
These funds would not be carried over to FY-2011 if legislation is not
passed by Congress to provide an additional AIP authorization (Part B) and
an extension of the FAA's spending authority from the Airport and Airway
Trust Fund beyond March 31, 2010.
It should be emphasized that a full-year appropriation of the AIP was
passed by Congress, indicating the intention to continue supporting the AIP
Program. While the FAA cannot say with certainty that Congress will extend
the AIP program, it has extended the legislation for the past two years in
less certain circumstances than exist this fiscal year.
To notify the Helena ADO, each sponsor should identify the sponsor and
airport name and mark an "X" in one of the four statements below and e-mail
this message to the Helena ADO, or send to the Helena Airports District
Office at: 2725 Skyway Drive, Suite 2, Helena, Montana 59602. Please
direct e-mails to: maureen.dahl@faa.gov; gary.gates@faa.gov; or
steve.engebrecht@faa.gov.
1. ____ The (name of sponsor) understands the risk of not notifying the
FAA of its intent to carry over or use FY-2010 Part A funds by February 22,
2010. The (name of sponsor) intends to combine its FY-2010 Part A funds
with Part B funds for a project at (name of airport) in FY-2010, if AIP is
extended beyond March 31, 2010. If the AIP is extended beyond March 31,
2010 and Part B funds are made available, the (name of sponsor) will
declare its intention to use or carryover the available Part A and Part B
entitlements by May 1, 2010, or
2. ____ The (name of sponsor) will be submitting a CIP Data Sheet to the
Helena ADO to use FY-2010 Part A funds. (A CIP data sheet should be
submitted no later than the first week of February in order to allow
adequate time for programming of the funds. All Part A grant offers must
be executed by the Sponsor(s) and returned to the Helena ADO not later than
March 15, 2010.) or
3. ____ The (name of sponsor) will not be using FY-2010 Part A entitlement
funds at the (name of airport) and requests that the funds be carried over
to FY-2011, or
4. ____ The (name of sponsor) will not be using FY-2010 Part A entitlement
funds, however, plans to transfer all or part of (name of airport
transferring funds) FY-2010 Part A entitlements to (name of airport
receiving funds). Please carry over any used funds to FY-2011.
Additional guidance from our Regional Office regarding funding options
under the FY-2010, Part A program is attached.
Please call the Helena ADO at 406-449-5271 if you have any questions.
