Recipients must maintain an airport layout plan for the duration of the grant agreement, ordinarily 20 years, and retain accounting records and project documentation for three years after submission of the final expenditure report. Environmental impact assessment is required; preapplication coordination with the appropriate FAA field office is mandatory.
