This collection is for reporting aeronautical data by Federal, State, or contract inspectors (for public-use airports) or airport owners and managers (for private-use airports). The data is mandatory, public in nature and the agency's source for the information used in aeronautical and flight information publications. It is used by various entities of the civil and military aeronautical communities. Other users of the data include private industry, aviation associations, state agencies (state airport directories, aeronautical publications, and system planning), and other government agencies (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency).
Airport Master Record (5010) data is collected under the Airport Data and Information Program on an as needed basis, but the goal is to obtain a yearly update of all airports on record with the FAA either through physical inspection, self-reporting by airport management or mail solicitation. Data from private-use airports is currently collected every 3 years. The 5010 forms (5010-1, 5010-2, 5010-3, and 5010-5) identify location, airport ownership and management, services available, based aircraft, facilities, operations, runway data, lighting and approach aids, obstruction data, declared distances, remarks, and inspection data.
If this data were not collected, U.S. government aeronautical and flight information publications such as sectional aeronautical charts, Airport/Facility Directories, and other flight information manuals could not be produced or maintained.

The agency has separated collection activity into appropriate information collections; there have not been additional forms added.
The burden for this collection is being adjusted, based on data collected since this collection was last renewed in 2016.
Costs and time for both respondents and the government have gone up because of changes in the way costs and time were previously calculated. Previous costs to respondents did not factor in the labor costs of either State or contract inspectors or airport owners and managers nor the mailing costs of private-use airports in response to the mail solicitation. Previous time burdens did not include the amount of time public-use airport owners and managers spend confirming data. Further, previous costs to the Federal government included neither salaries nor overhead of staff collecting or processing 5010 data. This renewal also includes the additional cost of the ADIP system, which will become the primary portal through which all 5010 data is submitted. This will consolidate the online and paper processes that currently exist. As airports become more familiar with the system, we expect the cost of the mail solicitation to go down considerably as we will be able to send electronic notices directly from ADIP to participating airports and only use mail solicitation for those airports that have not chosen to participate in the electronic process.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
