1/31/79 AC 150/5900-1B copies should be arranged in accordance with the five separate parts of the application. It is suggested that each application copy be placed in a separate binder and that each part of the application be tabbed. The binder cover should identify the name of airport and the sponsor if the application is for a master plan or the location of the project and the sponsor if the application is for a system plan. The type project (master plan, state system plan, regional system plan, metropolitan area system plan, or continuous system plan) should also be identified along with the date of the application. Each of the three application binders should be identified by copy numbers 1 (for original forms and documentation), 2, and 3. If the submission is for a revision of a previous application, only the documentation affected by the revision is required. 26. STAGE FUNDING. In certain instances it may be advantageous to fund a planning effort in stages. In these cases, the sponsor has the option of submitting a separate project application for each stage or submitting one for the entire planning effort. Although one method is not preferred over the other, circumstances may make one approach more applicable than the other. For instance, studies involving site selection may best be accomplished by separate project applications for pre- and post -site selection activities. Where fiscal limitations are involved, a single project application with staged funding of identifiable work effort may be more appropriate, with limited available resources matched to the incremental effort. 27. APPROVAL OF APPLICATIONS BY FAA. The FAA will review each application for conformance with planning project requirements. The primary responsibility for review and approval of an application rests with the FAA field office having jurisdiction over a particular project. If an FAA field office disapproves an application because a project or a sponsor is ineligible for Federal assistance under the PGP, the application will be returned along with a statement of the reasons for disapproval. If application documents require revision, the FAA field office will advise the sponsor of corrections which need to be made and the need for supplementary documentation. Depending on the circumstances, the FAA field office may be authorized to give final approval to the application. In other cases, such approval must be received from either the FAA regional office or FAA Headquarters in Washington. Under either circumstance, the Office of the Secretary of Transportation notifies the appropriate Congressional delegations of grant approvals. After this action is completed, the FAA field office informs the sponsor and issues a grant offer. 28. PLANNING GRANT AGREEMENTS. The grant offer is made on Part I of FAA Form 5900-1, Planning Grant Agreement. A sample of the grant agreement form is shown in Appendix 1, Exhibit 2. The information which the FAA supplies on the grant offer portion of the form is self-explanatory. It indicates the type of planning grant, names the sponsor, states the purpose of the project, designates the percentage and amount of the Federal grant Chap 2 Par 25 17
