50 Guidelines for Integrating Alternative Jet Fuel into the Airport Setting Table 5. Stakeholder analysis. Stakeholder Information Stakeholder (Name of entity): Role in project: (e.g., airport, airline, feedstock supplier, fuel producer, municipality/local government, public-/private- sector funder) Stakeholder mission Economic Non-economic Is project consistent with mission? (yes, maybe/not sure, no) Explanation Hurdle rate: Describe specific minimum requirements that project must meet to obtain stakeholder's participation Economic Non-economic Does project meet hurdle rate? (yes, maybe/not sure, no) Explanation Stakeholder concerns and risks Economic Non-economic Has mitigation strategy been developed? (yes, maybe/not sure, no) Explanation Actions required to obtain/enhance stakeholder participation Economic Non-economic Has a plan been developed to obtain/enhance stakeholder participation? (yes, maybe/not sure, no) Explanation Stakeholder decision-making process Is the stakeholder's internal and external decision-making process fully understood? (yes, maybe/not sure, no) What needs to be done/who needs to be consulted to understand decision-making process? Explanation 5.2.2 Worksheet 2: Regulatory Considerations Use this worksheet to evaluate the regulatory and environmental review considerations of alternative jet fuel projects. Instructions 1. Use one worksheet for each alternative jet fuel project option under consideration. 2. Note that Table 6 applies to on-airport projects only. If the project is located near-airport or off-airport, Table 6 does not need to be filled out. 3. In Table 6 through Table 8, indicate the likelihood that the project can meet each regulation or consideration: a. If the project is certain to meet the regulation or consideration, check "Meets Regulation/Consideration." b. If the project can meet the regulation or consideration with some extra effort, check "Likely to Meet Regulation/Consideration." c. If the project is unlikely to meet the regulation or consideration even with additional extra effort, check "Does Not Meet Regulation/Consideration." d. If more information is needed to provide an answer, check "Need More Information." 4. Count the total of items checked in each category. 5. In Table 9, summarize the total for Table 6 through Table 8, and count the resulting overall total for Worksheet 2.

Using the total for Worksheet 2 in Table 9, grade each option according to the following guide- lines (see Section 3.5.2 for more details). a. Green: The project can meet all regulations and other considerations. (Only boxes in "Meets All Regulation/Consideration" column are checked.) b. Yellow: The project is likely to meet all regulations and other considerations with some extra effort. (Most boxes in "Meets All Regulation/Consideration" column and only a few in "Likely to Meet All Regulation/Consideration" column are checked.) c. Red: The project cannot meet all regulatory and other considerations. (One or more boxes in "Does Not Meet Regulation/Consideration" column are checked.) 7. Fill in the appropriate circle in the "Green," "Yellow," or "Red" column in the "FAA Regula- tions and Environmental Review" row of "Worksheet 6: Evaluation Summary."
