Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration

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.
