Federal Aviation Regulations Part 157
mandates that all “persons proposing to construct, alter, activate,
or deactivate a civil or joint-use (civil/military) airport or to
alter the status or use of such an airport” to notify the FAA
before any construction, alteration, or change to the status or use
of an airport. FAA Form 7480-1, Notice of Landing Area Proposal (or
its online equivalent) is used to collect the information. The
collection is reporting and occurs on occasion as needed. This
collection requires proponents to report and certify the purpose of
the notification; the name, location, use, and type of landing area
affected; landing area data; and operation data, including number
of based aircraft and average number of landings. The FAA uses the
information collected when: • Determining the effect the proposed
action will have on existing airports and on the safe and efficient
use of airspace by aircraft. • Determining the effects the proposed
action will have on existing or contemplated traffic patterns of
neighboring airports. • Determining the effects the proposed action
will have on the existing airspace structure and projected programs
of the FAA. • Determining the effects that existing or proposed
manmade objects (on file with the FAA) and natural objects within
the affected area will have on the airport proposal. Proponents are
also required to notify the FAA by letter or by FAA Form 5010-5
within 15 days after completion of the project. The FAA requires
this notification because many proposals are never completed for
reasons pertinent only to the sponsor. The confirmation of the
completion of the project is needed in order to identify the
cancelled proposals, so as to release any airspace that may have
been reserved and to update aeronautical charts and flight
information publications. The collection/burden for Form 5010-5
falls under a different collection (OMB Control Number 2120-0015).
It is anticipated that the information collected will be
disseminated to the public or used to support publicly disseminated
information in aeronautical charts and flight information
publications. FAA Office of Airports will retain control over the
information and safeguard it from improper access, modification,
and destruction, consistent with FAA standards for privacy and
electronic information. See response to Question 10 of this
Supporting Statement for more information on confidentiality and
privacy. The information collection is designed to yield data that
meet all applicable information quality guidelines.

The burden for this collection
is being adjusted, based on data collected since this collection
was last renewed in 2017. Data shows the hour and cost burden for
respondents has gone down because both the number of notices filed
and the number of respondents filing by mail (and thus incurring
mailing costs) have decreased. In ROCIS, the IC Cost Burden now
reflects material costs only. The previously approved burden
included wage costs, which is why the burden worksheet in ROCIS
shows such a large burden adjustment.
