Abstract: Submission of a request for FAA frequency coordination is required “on occasion to request and/or continue frequency use” as needed by the proponent. Reporting of this information by respondents is mandatory upon each occasion. The information is used by the FAA Spectrum Engineering and Assignment Organization (AJW-191) to complete the engineering required to adequately evaluate and engineer the proponent’s request. a.) The response to this data collection is required for the proponent to obtain FAA concurrence to use a radio frequency that impacts civil aviation. b.) Those entities that respond to this collection are proponents (individuals, corporations, organizations, municipalities, or agencies) who are seeking to broadcast on a radio frequency within the AAG frequencies as defined by the National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA). c.) The information collected is used for analysis of the impact on aviation only, and the concurrence is disclosed to the requester and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) via the requester. d) The FCC issued licenses, for radio frequency transmission authorization, must be renewed typically every 10 years for certified systems and 2 years for experimental systems. This notice requires the proponent to resubmit to the FAA under this collection, to extend the license period, if required every 10 years. Hence, the collection period is ten years. e.) Information under this collection from proponents is comprised of technical specifications regarding the radio frequency transmitter (i.e. power, coordinates, signal characteristics, manufacturer) and is placed in the record, which is sent to the NTIA and FCC as a part of its license process, along with the engineered frequency and the concurrence number generated by the FAA. f.) The information collected through the WebFCR portal supports the engineering, modeling, validation, and workflow management of the request to evaluate if the request interferes with or impacts civil aviation operations pursuant to FAA Order 6050.32B. g) The record which is sent to the NTIA and FCC as a part of its license process, when approved by NTIA is added to the official Government Master File (GMF) by NTIA, as an official part of its record keeping process. FAA retains the information submitted via WebFCR in any FAA data record or information record in archives to be utilized for renewal purposes, and maintains an updated copy of the GMF from NTIA for engineering purposes.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The estimated burden to respondents in this collection has increased due to the following: • Revised estimated submission time to 0.5 hours per response (previously 0.2) in response to a comment from ALPA (See question 8 for additional details). • The number of respondents to this collection has increased. • Wage rates for government and non-government respondents are updated to reflect newer data and reflect an increase in wages. The estimated cost to the government has changed due to the following: • Wage rates for FAA personnel are updated to reflect current rates and an increase in wages. • Budget limitations have resulted in a decreased automation budget (roughly 35% lower), lowering the cost to the government overall. Additionally, the OPR has combined instruments into two groups (instruments), down from the previous 4 instruments, for the purposes of estimating cost to respondents. These two groups accurately reflect respondents to this collection: • Requests by government entities (federal, state, local) • Requests by non-government entities (private sector, including entities such as airport authorities)

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $2,443,468
