The obstruction survey represents a planning and development activity consistent with the FAA's Airport Improvement Program objectives, which supports the development and maintenance of a nationwide system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs. As a formula grant component, this award is part of broader Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) allocations designed to strengthen airport infrastructure across the United States.
