Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Approval of Clearance Renewal for Information Collection: For the 
Information Collection Entitled, Website for Frequency Coordination 
Request

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 renewal of the currently 
approved information collection via the FAA's deployed Web-based 
Frequency Coordination system (WebFCR), which collects certain 
broadcast and transmitter frequency information under OMB control 
number 2120-0786. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on September 28, 2022. The collection involves 
information needed to perform the aeronautical studies, technical 
evaluations and engineering required to meet the specified requirements 
for the radio frequency engineering pursuant to the FAA Order. The 
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 6050.32.B, chapter 3, 
section 302, which outlines the US National Organizations, and the role 
of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration 
(NTIA) is assigning the Aviation Assignment Group (AAG) of the radio 
spectrum to FAA which support aeronautical services. Hence, FAA must 
``authorize'' aeronautical frequencies of broadcast applications which 
impact the AAG bands.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 23, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0786.
    Title: website for Frequency Coordination Request (WebFCR) 
webfcr.faa.gov.
    Form Numbers: Historically related to FAA Form 7460-1.
    Type of Review: Request for renewal of information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on September 28, 2022 (FR 2022-20969). The purpose of the 
information is to meet the reference 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. Currently, transmitter 
broadcast radio frequency data is collected via OMB Control 2120-0786 
to address non-Federal, military, U.S. Federal agency, State and 
municipalities broadcast applications which require consideration, 
analysis or aeronautical studies pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 44718(c).
    Respondents: Approximately 2400 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: 0.2 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 480 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC on December 20, 2022.
