(5) A summary of citizen involvement, evidence of the opportunity for a public hearing if required under section 16(d) of the Airport Act, and a summary of issues raised at any public hearing held. (6) Any cost -benefit analysis that the sponsor has done. See CEQ 1502.23 for more specific information when a cost -benefit analysis is being considered for the proposed action. 48. A-95 REVIEW PROCESS. a. Review of proposed Airport Development Aid Program actions by state and local government organizations routinely occurs through procedures set forth in OMB Circular A-95 (Revised). The purpose of the A-95 clearinghouse process is to assure that proposed federally assisted programs and projects are reviewed and evaluated in advance in terms of their potential impact on or conflict with statewide or areawide comprehensive planning or upon the plans and programs of local governments. In the case of proposed actions which are not Airport Development Aid Program actions, it is suggested that the sponsor consider use of the A-95 review procedure to solicit input to the environmental assessment from state and local agencies in order to reduce the need for independent contacts with affected agencies. b. The A-95 clearinghouse process for projects is set forth in Special Federal Aviation Regulation, Part 35. c. Under A-95 procedures, sponsors are required to notify the appropriate clearinghouses as soon as project planning has developed in sufficient detail to inform the clearinghouses of the nature and scope of the development proposed to be undertaken for which Federal assistance will be sought. This should take place at least 60 days prior to the date the sponsor submits its preapplication form requesting Federal assistance. Page 58 Chap 5 Par 47
