1/31/79 AC 150/5900-13 (1) Notification Required. A11 sponsors applying for assistance or proposing substantive modification to an application which has received prior A-95 clearance shall notify both the appropriate state and areawide A-95 clearinghouses before the application will be considered by the FAA. The local FAA field offices can furnish the sponsor with the names and locations of the A-95 clearinghouses. (1) National Capital Region. In the case of applications for planning projects in and around Washington, D.C., a copy of the notification will be sent to the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) in addition to the areawide clearinghouse. (ii) Statewide Proiects. In the case of an application for a statewide plan that does not affect areawide or local planning and programs, the notification need be sent only to the state clearinghouse. Involvement of areawide clearinghouses in the review of the application will be at the initiative of the state clearinghouses. (iii) Indian Tribes. Applications from federally recognized Indian tribes are not subject to A-95 requirements; however, voluntary participation is encouraged. The application should be reviewed by the tribal coordinating mechanism as though it were a clearinghouse. (iv) Supplemental PGP Grant Applications. Supplemental applications do not require A-95 notification where there has been no significant change to the scope of work or the area affected. (2) Form of Notification. Many clearinghouses have developed notification instructions and forms. Sponsors should contact their clearinghouses to obtain the information to expedite A-95 review. A-95 coordination may be initiated by two methods, a Notice of Intent or submittal of a complete application. (i) Notice of Intent (NOI). When a sponsor provides project notification with an NOI, the following should be provided: (A) A summary description including type, purpose, general size, estimated cost, beneficiaries, or other characteristics which will enable the clearinghouses to identify agencies or organizations having plans, programs, or projects that may be affected by the proposed PGP project. A map showing the location should be included. (B) The clearinghouse has 30 days to review the NOI and provide comments to the sponsor. (C) If the clearinghouse does not respond within 30 days or raise any issues with the project, the sponsor may proceed to submit the application to the FAA. Chap 2 Par 23 13
