The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is implementing a new department-wide electronic grant payment system, Delphi eInvoicing System. This system will provide a web-based standardized portal for grantees to electronically request grant payments and monitor payment status. All airport sponsors, including those currently submitting grant payment requests through Electronic Clearing House Operation (ECHO), will be required to transition to the new system. The DOT and FAA are transitioning AIP sponsors over to the Delphi eInvoicing system in two phases.

• Phase One: Includes all AIP sponsors currently using ECHO. These sponsors will transition to the new Delphi system on Monday, August 20. Access to ECHO will be turned off for all AIP sponsors on Wednesday, August 8.
• Phase Two: Includes all AIP sponsors currently submitting paper payment requests. These sponsors will transition to the new Delphi system in November 1, 2012.

Delphi eInvoicing eAuthentication

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the DOT require that the identity of Delphi eInvoicing users be authenticated and verified. This eAuthentication process contains two major sets of requirements that must be met:

1. The verification of the user prior to the issuance of the credentials (identity proofing)
2. A technical authentication method (username and password)

Prior to accessing the eInvoicing system, all grant sponsors must complete the eAuthentication certification process.
