Opportunity Information: Apply for FAA ARP BIL G 24 001
The FY 2024 Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) FAA Contract Tower (FCT) Competitive Grant Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It makes up to $20 million in FY 2024 Airport Infrastructure Grant funding available under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The program is designed to provide annual competitive grants to help eligible airports address aging airport-owned air traffic control tower (ATCT) infrastructure and related systems.
The core focus of the program is capital investment in non-approach control towers and associated tower equipment. The FAA indicates it will consider a wide range of tower-related project types, including projects that sustain existing facilities, construct new towers, repair or improve current towers, rehabilitate or modernize outdated infrastructure, replace or relocate towers, and acquire and install air traffic control, communications, and related equipment used in those towers. The NOFO also explicitly allows for projects involving a remote tower, as long as it is FAA-certified, including the acquisition and installation of the necessary air traffic control, communications, and related equipment to make that remote tower operational and compliant.
Beyond the physical tower and equipment work, the FAA frames this program as part of broader DOT priorities. Projects and selections are expected to align with DOTs FY 2022-2026 Strategic Framework, and the program is intended to be implemented in line with Executive Order 14052 on IIJA implementation. That alignment signals that, in addition to technical eligibility and readiness, the FAA is looking for proposals that demonstrate efficient and equitable investment, support U.S. economic competitiveness, create or improve job opportunities with a focus on strong labor standards, and strengthen infrastructure resilience to hazards including climate change. The NOFO also emphasizes coordination with state, local, Tribal, and territorial partners, which suggests applicants should be prepared to show local or regional collaboration where it is relevant to the project.
Eligibility is limited to airport sponsors that are already approved in the FAAs Contract Tower Program or the Contract Tower Cost Share Program (as referenced in 49 U.S.C. 47124) and that are typically eligible for Airport Improvement Program (AIP) discretionary grants (as referenced in 49 U.S.C. 47115). In practical terms, this generally means the applicant must be an eligible airport sponsor associated with a public-use airport that is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). The eligible applicant types listed include public agencies and certain private entities, as well as state agencies, Indian Tribes or Pueblos that own a public-use NPIAS airport, and several specific governmental entities tied to particular jurisdictions (including the Secretary of the Interior for Midway Island airport and certain Pacific island governments). The NOFO points applicants to the AIP Handbook (Order 5100.38D, Table 2-1) for the full breakdown of eligible sponsor categories and to the FAAs NPIAS resources for background on airport inclusion and status.
Administratively, this opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number FAA-ARP-BIL-G-24-001 and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced through Assistance Listings) number 20.106, under the umbrella of Airport Improvement Program Discretionary Grants. The opportunity category is discretionary and the funding instrument is a grant. The eligible applicant group listed in the posting includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and other eligible entities consistent with AIP sponsor rules. The posting lists an original closing date of December 1, 2023, and an award ceiling shown as $20,000,000, which reflects the total amount made available for the program rather than a guaranteed amount per applicant. For the most accurate, project-specific requirements (such as cost share, allowable costs, evaluation criteria, and required application components), the NOFO directs applicants to consult the full FY 2024 NOFO text and the linked FAA and DOT guidance documents.Apply for FAA ARP BIL G 24 001
