[Docket No. FAA-2019-0196]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Approval of New Information Collection: For the 
Information Collection Entitled, Website for Frequency Coordination 
Request (WebFCR), Pursuant to FAA Order 6050.32B

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to allow a new information 
collection of a currently approved joint effort. The FAA has developed 
and deployed an information system, The Web-based Frequency 
Coordination Request (WebFCR) system to collect certain broadcast 
frequency information originally collected on form 7460-1, under OMB 
control number 2120-0001. It was determined that several broadcast 
applications from proponents not associated with construction, 
alterations and/or obstructions were not being properly captured with 
the required frequency data impacting the initiation of aeronautical 
studies.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by June 17, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into 
search field).
    By mail: Victor Hinton, Spectrum Engineering and Policy, Room 7E-
333, 800 Independence Avenue, Washington DC 20591.
    By fax: (202) 267-6056.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Victor Hinton by email at: 
[email protected]; phone: (202) 267-7532.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-XXXX.
    Title: Website for Frequency Coordination Request (WebFCR) 
webfcr.faa.gov.
    Form Numbers: Prior associated with FAA Form 7460-1.
    Type of Review: Request for a new information collection.
    Background: 49 U.S.C. Section 44718(c) under Broadcast Applications 
and Tower Studies states, ``In carrying out laws related to a broadcast 
application--the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration 
and the Federal Communications Commission shall take action necessary 
to coordinate efficiently--(1) The receipt and consideration of, and 
action on, the application; and (2) The completion of any associated 
aeronautical study. The previous broadcast radio frequency data via OMB 
Control 2120-0001 only addressed non-Federal requests related to 
construction, alterations and obstructions, not capturing military, 
federal agency broadcast applications which require consideration, 
analysis or aeronautical studies pursuant to 49 U.S.C. Section 
44718(c).
    Respondents: Approximately 1200 annually. The Respondents are 
engineers, analysts, consultants, stakeholders or federal agency 
managers, including military services, who have a need to transmit on a 
radio frequency which is within the National Telecommunications and 
Information Administration's (NTIA) Aviation Assignment Group (AAG) 
frequency band assigned to the FAA for civil aviation use. The response 
to this data collection is required for the proponent to obtain FAA 
concurrence to use a radio frequency that impacts civil aviation. The 
information collected through the WebFCR portal supports the 
engineering, modeling, validation and workflow management of the 
request to evaluate if the request interferes or impacts civil aviation 
operations pursuant to FAA Order 6050.32B.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: .2 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 240 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on April 15, 2019.

Spectrum Engineer, Automation Lead, Spectrum Engineering and Policy,
