Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

12 This section presents a matrix that summarizes information for each grant assurance require- ment, including applicability (generally applicable or project-specific), project type (e.g., con- struction or equipment acquisition), duration, related grant assurance requirements, and a cross-reference to the section of the Guidebook where the requirement is discussed. In ACRP Web-Only Document 44, Volume 1, the cross-reference provides a link to the text of the refer- enced Grant Assurance Summary. The matrix is presented in the same order as the grant assurances themselves; however, the grant assurance summaries for generally applicable grant assurances are presented in ACRP Web- Only Document 44, Volume 1, Chapter 1, and project-specific grant assurances are presented in Chapter 2. Moreover, in Chapter 1, the generally applicable grant assurances are grouped into five subject areas, plus Grant Assurance 1, General Federal Requirements. The generally appli- cable Grant Assurance 1 requirements are further grouped into two subject areas. The matrix rows for generally applicable grant assurances are color-coded to these seven subject areas. Fig- ure ES-4 provides the key to the color-coding scheme for the generally applicable requirements. The project-specific grant assurance requirements presented in Chapter 2 are grouped into four subject areas, plus Grant Assurance 1. Project-specific Grant Assurance 1 requirements are further grouped into seven subject areas. The matrix rows for project-specific grant assurances are color-coded to these 11 subject areas. Figure ES-5 provides the key to the color-coding for the project-specific requirements. There are two exceptions to this color-coding system. Title 49, Subtitle VII, in Grant Assur- ance 1 covers most, if not all, subject areas included in both the generally applicable require- ments and the project-specific requirements. Therefore, that subtitle is not shaded. Grant Assurance 37, Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, includes both generally applicable require- ments and project-specific requirements. The row is split with the appropriate color-coding for each category of requirement. As a further guide to how the grant assurance requirements were sorted into categories, Tables ES-1 and ES-2 list (for generally applicable grant assurances and project-specific grant assurances, respectively) the grant assurances included in each subject area (using the same color-coding), except for Grant Assurance 1, General Federal Requirements. The summary matrix is presented in Table ES-3. The information in the matrix is also pre- sented in the individual grant assurance summaries in Chapters 1 and 2 of ACRP Web-Only Document 44, Volume 1.

Useful life of land is indefinite. Useful life obligation for equipment may be less than 20 years. Useful life obligations of privately owned sponsor have a minimum duration of 10 years regardless of the useful life of the project. 6 Although project-specific assurances are technically subject to Parts 13 and 16, enforcement is generally accomplished through the grant administration process. 7 For individual grant assurances with an indefinite duration, these regulations apply indefinitely. 8 Requirement for an approved noise exposure map (NEM) applies before FAA issues a grant to fund a project to implement a noise compatibility measure. Requirement for approved noise compatibility program (NCP) applies before FAA issues a grant to implement a noise compatibility measure, except for soundproofing of educational and medical buildings. Grant closeout applies to grants to develop NEM and NCP and to implement noise compatibility measure. 28 CFR Section 50.3 -- Dep't. of Justice Guidelines for Enforcement of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 GA 30 BE GC GA 1, Statutes #a.
