The FAA collects airport and aeronautical data about the physical airport infrastructure, its operations, and its use through the Airport Data and Information Portal (ADIP). ADIP is the agencyâs authoritative source for the collection of airport data and information used to process airport actions, studies, and analyses and for use when considering funding requests. The collected data is safety critical and used by the FAA, the civil and military aviation community, private industry, state agencies (for use in state airport directories, aeronautical publications, and system planning) and other government agencies such as the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). ADIP includes six modules: Registration, Airport Master Record, Airports Geographic Information System, Modification of Standards, Runway Airspace Management, and Runway Safety Area Inventory.

Originally, this collection only covered Airport Master Record data, but we are revising it to include a number of interrelated collections of airport data that will occur within the same system, ADIP. This change will allow airports to manage their own data within the system, encourage more private airports to participate, and allow more efficient processing of the data by the FAA. Because this system will encompass more types of data, the total number of respondents, the burden and cost of the collection to respondents, and the cost to the Federal Government will increase.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
