From https://www.faa.gov/airports/aip/overview/:
AIP grants for planning, development, or noise compatibility projects are at or associated with individual public-use airports (including heliports and seaplane bases). A public-use airport is an airport open to the public that also meets the following criteria:
Publicly owned, or
Privately owned but designated by FAA as a reliever, or
Privately owned but having scheduled service and at least 2,500 annual enplanements.
Further, to be eligible for a grant, an airport must be included in the NPIAS. The NPIAS, which is prepared and published every 2 years, identifies public-use airports that are important to public transportation and contribute to the needs of civil aviation, national defense, and the Postal service.
