Q-U45. Why must an airport comply with 2 CFR 200 under IIJA?
The IIJA grants are funded from the General Fund; therefore, the Airport Infrastructure Program and the Airport Terminal Program make Federal Awards to non-Federal entities. These programs are subject to 2 CFR Part 200 – Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR § 200.101). In addition, IIJA requires us to use the project grant authority required under 49 USC 47104 which further federalizes the funds.
