The Department of Transportation has issued a request for proposal for the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Small Community Air Service Development Program. Under the Small Community Program, medium- and small-sized communities across the country are invited to submit proposals and compete for federal funds to help address local air service deficiencies, such as infrequent service or high air fares. Congress has authorized up to $8 million for the program this year. Interested communities must submit proposals via http://www.grants.gov no later than 5:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), on August 28, 2009. Applicants must complete a one-time registration at http://www.grants.gov, a process required by grants.gov that can take up to three weeks to complete. For this reason, applicants should register with grants.gov as soon as possible to ensure they can meet the application deadline.
