Small Community Air Service Development Program: The Small Community Program was established under the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21), P.L. 106-181, as a three-year "pilot" program and was designed to provide financial assistance to small communities to help them enhance their air service. The Department provides this assistance in the form of financial grants that are disbursed on a reimbursable basis. The program was subsequently reauthorized for an additional five years, through fiscal year 2008, under the Vision 100-Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act, P.L. 108-176 (Vision 100), which also eliminated the "pilot" status of the program. On February 15, 2007, the President signed in to law the Revised Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007 (P.L. 110-005), which provides the Department with $10 million to administer the Small Community Program. The programs authorizing statute limits the Department to a maximum of 40 grant awards, with a maximum of four grants per state, in each year the program is funded. However, the law does not prescribe any limits on the amounts of individual awards, and the amounts awarded will vary depending upon the features and merits of the proposals selected. Over the past five years, the Departments individual grants have ranged from $20,000 to nearly $1.6 million. Awarded grant funds do not have to be expended in the year of award, nor do they need to be used within a one-year period. Authorized grant projects may include activities that extend over a multi-year period under a single grant award; however, grant funds are to be used in a timely manner. Generally speaking, grant awards have not exceeded a three-to-four-year period.
