Sponsors, anyone planning any
construction or alteration project described in 14 CFR 77.9, are
required to provide adequate notice (as specified in 14 CFR 77.7)
to the FAA of that construction or alteration on FAA Form 7460-1,
Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. The reporting of
this information is mandatory on occasion of each construction or
alteration. The FAA uses the information collected to evaluate the
effect of the proposed construction or alteration on safety in air
commerce and the efficient use and preservation of the navigable
airspace and airport traffic capacity at public use airports;
determine whether the effect or proposed construction or alteration
is a hazard to air navigation; determine appropriate marking and
lighting recommendations, using FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1,
Obstruction Marking and Lighting; determine other appropriate
measures to be applied for continued safety of air navigation. The
FAA will determine when sponsors are required to report
construction or alteration project status including construction
start and estimated end dates, as well as, reporting the date the
structure reaches its greatest height on FAA Form 7460-2. The FAA
uses the information collected to notify the aviation community of
the construction or alteration of objects that affect the navigable
airspace, including the revision of charts when necessary. Any
sponsor that abandons a construction or alteration proposal that
has been previously reported to the FAA must submit notice to the
FAA on Form 7460-2 within 5 days after the project is abandoned.
Additionally, any sponsor that dismantles or destroys a constructed
structure previously reported to the FAA must submit notice to the
FAA on Form 7460-2 within 5 days after the construction or
alteration is dismantled or destroyed. Without collection of this
information, safety of air navigation and the National Airspace
System cannot be ensured.

The adjustments between the
last collection and this collection are the result of a steady
annual increase in public response since the beginning of this
collection and the continued use of e-filing while the total cost
burden has all but been eliminated for respondents. The FAA expects
the number of submissions to continuously increase at a steady rate
for both required and voluntary submissions to the FAA through the
e-Filing System. Note: The burden does not include 2,400 responses
that were previously included in the 2016 renewal that incorrectly
included Web Based Frequency Coordination Request (WEBFCR). This
renewal removes a previously listed collector of information for
this form, WEBFCR, an application used by FAA Frequency Management.
This recipient does not collect information from this form, and per
their stated intent in the previous renewal, has filed for their
own form and OMB number (Website for Frequency Coordination
Request). This renewal removes and corrects usage and burden
information referring to WEBFCR. The agency has separated
collection activity into appropriate information collections, there
has not been additional forms or applications added. The terms
“Project Status Report” have been removed from the title.
Previously, “Project Status Report” was incorrectly included in the
collection title.
