The FAA is updating its Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant assurances to incorporate mandates included in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, including a requirement surrounding the availability of 100-octane low lead (100LL) aviation gasoline through Dec. 31, 2030. The updates also eliminate several stipulations surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion and sustainability efforts, and instead reflect a series of new executive orders on those issues.

Modifications to the program took effect with a notice published in the April 25 Federal Register to expedite processing of fiscal year 2025 grants, the agency said. However, the FAA will still accept comments on the updates through May 9. “If necessary, in response to comments received, the FAA will consider appropriate revisions to these grant assurance modifications,” the agency added.
