NPIAS / ACIP Grant Compliance Mapping
Tie capital improvement mapping to NPIAS eligibility and the grant-assurance reporting FAA expects.
Funding eligibility and mapping are the same problem viewed from two directions. What you can build depends on what is on the plan; what you can fund depends on what is in the programme.
Two facts worth being precise about
- An airport must be included in the NPIAS to be eligible for AIP funding. The 2025–2029 plan lists 3,287 existing public-use airports, of which 2,897 are nonprimary.
- The ACIP is the basis on which FAA distributes AIP funds — it is the mechanism your project has to appear in to compete for money.
The clock nobody sends a reminder about
For nonprimary and nonhub primary airports, apportioned entitlement funds remain available for the fiscal year they were apportioned plus the three following fiscal years. Unobligated amounts revert to the discretionary fund.
Nothing announces this. The balance simply stops being yours. FAA now calls these protected entitlement funds rather than carryover.
What this service is
We tie your capital improvement mapping to NPIAS eligibility and grant-assurance reporting — so the map, the programme submission and the compliance record all describe the same airport. This is where TDH's grant administration practice and its GIS practice do the same job at the same time.
What you get
- Capital projects mapped against eligibility criteria
- An entitlement timeline showing what expires when
- Mapping and documentation formatted for grant-assurance reporting
- Reporting support through the life of the award, not just at application
