NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY (NOFO) FAA SUPPLEMENTAL

The application period is now open through May 2, 2024, 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time for $269 million of 2023 competitive supplemental discretionary grants. Please see the letter below with a link for application information: 

Dear Airport Sponsors:  

I am excited to share that the application period is now open to apply for approximately $269 million in fiscal year (FY) 2023 competitive supplemental discretionary grants. We are accepting applications for airport projects, including development of resilient airfield infrastructure improvements at Primary airports; infrastructure required for on-airport handling and distribution of sustainable aviation fuels at Primary airports; improving air quality at commercial service airports - even at airports in air-quality attainment areas; and energy and emissions sustainability projects at any eligible airport. Applications are accepted until 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on May 2, 2024. 

I also want to highlight that this grant funding may be used to support eligible development projects and planning related to addressing the nation’s climate challenges. The FAA’s existing grant authorities enable airports to address emission goals by applying for and using grant funds for low or zero emission vehicles, renewable energy generation, energy efficiency assessments, and other efforts.

You can find instructions on how to apply in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and other supporting materials available on FAA.gov. Be sure to check this page often for additional information and application resources. 

If you have general questions on the NOFO or technical questions on environmental and sustainability projects, please see section G of the NOFO for contact information. If you have questions on the specific eligibility of traditional airfield infrastructure and noise projects, contact your Regional Office or Airport District Office.

The application period will close at 5 p.m. EDT May 2, 2024. We encourage airports to send in their applications as early as possible. 

Sincerely,  

David F. Cushing

Manager, Airports Financial Assistance Division
