FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 Title 49, United States Code, 49 USC 47136a, Zero-Emission Airport Vehicles and Infrastructure Allows the FAA to award Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants for the acquisition and operation of zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs) at an airport including the construction or modification of infrastructures to facilitate the delivery of fuel and services necessary for the use of such vehicles. 4
Overview of ZEV Pilot Program Allows FAA to award Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds for acquisition of ZEVs at an airport. Awards AIP funds for infrastructure modifications necessary to facilitate the delivery of energy for vehicle operations. 5
Purpose of ZEV Pilot Program Encourage airport facilities to achieve air quality benefits. Lessen adverse environmental impacts caused by conventional fossil fuels (Ex: gasoline, diesel, natural gas). Minimize the demand for gasoline. 6
FAA s Definition of Zero-Emission Vehicles Per 40 CFR 88.102-94 Any light-duty vehicle, light-duty truck, or any heavy-duty vehicle that produces zero exhaust emissions of any criteria pollutant (or precursor pollutant). Must be free of exhaust emissions under any and all possible operational modes and conditions Involves a vehicle operated by all-electric or hydrogenpowered drive train in most cases. 7
Vehicle Eligibility Only on-road vehicles meeting the definitions for ZEVs. On-road vehicles include: airport parking lot shuttles and buses, airport security vehicles, and airport maintenance vehicles. Must be owned by airports sponsors and used exclusively on-airport for airport purposes. Airport sponsors must operate vehicles at the same level of use estimated in the airport sponsor s application. Airport sponsors must purchase new vehicles. Other eligible vehicle costs are limited to capital improvement cost and excludes operational and maintenance costs (Ex: fuel, replacement parts or extended warranties). 8

Heavy-Duty Vehicle * Any motor vehicle rated at more than 8,500 lbs GVWR OR vehicle curb weight of more than 6,000 lbs OR basic vehicle frontal area in excess of 45 sq. ft 9
Classification of Vehicle Categories Vehicle Type: Definition Heavy-Duty Engine * Any engine purposed by engine manufacturer to be used for motive power in heavy-duty vehicle. Van Light-duty truck that full encloses driver compartment and load carrying device. No body sections protruding more than 30 in ahead of leading edge of the windshield. On-road Motor vehicle capable of being safely and practically driven on public roads or highways. New Vehicle Vehicles purchased from Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or an associated dealer Pre-marketed with essentially zero miles. * Per 40 CFR 86.082-2 10

Vehicle Eligibility: Ownership Requirements Sponsors owning ZEV are required to: (1) Own all new vehicle and equipment purchased through ZEV Pilot Program. (2) Not use ZEV Pilot Program funding for tenant-owned vehicles or equipment (e.g., airline vehicles, contractor or concessionaire-owned vehicle, etc.). (3) Not lease or loan ZEV vehicles and equipment purchased under the ZEV Pilot Program to airport tenants. (4) Not sell or transfer title to program vehicles during the useful life of the vehicle without prior notification and written approval by the FAA. 13
Vehicle Eligibility: Airport-Dedicated Must be integral part of aeronautical, transportation, security, or maintenance services at the airport, or other essential airport needs. Must be used on a regular basis during normal operation of the airport. Must be stored and maintained within airport boundary. 14
Vehicle Eligibility: Off-Airport Vehicle Use Off-Airport Uses: Driving the vehicle off-airport for required services. To specifically support aeronautical services such as airport maintenance or airport security that requires driving the outside perimeter of the airport. Driving between two airports owned by the Sponsor to transport employees or supplies between two airports. Driving to airport-related meetings (i.e., City Council meetings) Acceptable or Unacceptable? Acceptable Acceptable Acceptable Acceptable 15
Vehicle Eligibility: Off-Airport Vehicle Use Off-Airport Uses: Driving the vehicle to attend an airport-related conference. Driving the vehicle for personal reasons. As a loaner for airport tenant or users. Acceptable or Unacceptable? Unacceptable Unacceptable Unacceptable 16
Excluded Vehicles Internal Combustion Vehicles includes fuel types: gasoline, diesel, natural gas, biofuels, etc. Hybrid Electric Vehicles operates on battery AND internal combustion engine. Prototypes or demonstration projects. Non-U.S. Manufacturers of vehicle components must meet Buy American Requirements. 17
AIP Provisions 1. Buy American Requirements 2. Commercial Availability 3. Everything Else 18
Buy American Preference Requirements 49 U.S.C. 501501 Requires all steel and manufactured goods used in AIP funded projects to be produced in the United States. Grant recipients must certify that all products used on any portion of AIP-funded project are produced in the U.S. and are 100 percent U.S. materials. 19

Selection Criteria 49 USC 41736a(b)(2) and 49 USC 47136a(c) For ZEV Pilot Program applications received, the FAA will consider projects based on three categories: EPA s criteria pollutants; The air quality in your area; Cost effectiveness. 24
National Ambient Air Quality Standards Criteria Pollutants Carbon monoxide, Lead, Nitrogen dioxide, Ozone, Particulate Matter, Sulfur Dioxide 25
Selection Criteria Category Location Type Requirements Category I Nonattainment area ZEVs purchased at public-use airports located in an EPA-designated air quality non-attainment area for any of the six National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) criteria pollutants. Category II Maintenance area ZEVs purchased at a public-use airport located in an air quality maintenance area for any of the NAAQS criteria pollutants. Category III Attainment area ZEVs purchased at a public-use airport located in an air-quality attainment area. 26
Cost Effectiveness Based on OZONE (Nox + VOC) Simple calculation expressed in tons per year over the useful life of the project Nox + VOC $$ 27
Grant Specifics 50 percent Federal Share of the total project cost. Funded from the Noise and Environmental Set-Aside. FAA will give priority consideration to applicants who will achieve the greatest air quality benefits measured by the amount of emissions reduced per dollar of grant funds. Sponsors may not use more than 10 percent of grant for technical assistance (including design and consultant services). Sponsors may use university transportation center receiving grants under Section 5506 in the region of the airport for technical assistance. Must submit ZEV Technical Report in addition to SF-424. 28
Application Worksheet Example Instructions The ZEV Pilot Program application is included in Attachment A of the December 2012 Technical Guidance document. This worksheet automatically calculates the emissions reductions and costs based upon information entered by the user. To complete this application: Only enter data in the cells shaded in brown When provided, use the drop down list to select the correct information for a cell. Follow each step in order for the application to properly calculate emissions and costs. Print and submit to the FAA only the application shown on the tab entitled "Step 4, Print Application." 29
Worksheet Example Sponsor wishes to purchase 4 ZEVs to use as Ground Access Vehicles and 2 dual-port charging stations. This proposal has been approved in concept as ZEV-eligible by the FAA ADO.
