Procedures for Non-Federal Navigation Facilities

With respect to all the forms referenced below, the use and reporting of the information is mandatory to operate a non-Federally owned facility in the NAS. Non-Federal sponsors are required to submit the forms to their assigned FAA Inspector for retention. These forms are record keeping documents. Collection frequency varies depending on the form and the situation. Form 6000-10A is filled out once at the commissioning of the facility. Forms 6000-8A and 6030-1 are filled out at each maintenance visit, as needed. Documenting the initial parameters during commissioning is necessary to have a baseline to reference during future inspections. Another requirement is recording maintenance tasks, removal from service, and any other repairs performed on these facilities in on-site logs to have an accurate history on the performance of the facility. In addition, at each periodic inspection, recording the facilities' current parameters provides performance information for the life of the facility. This collection provides the FAA with the necessary data on non-Federally owned facilities to maintain safety in the NAS. There is no plan to publicly disseminate the collected information, nor use it to support publicly disseminated information. The information collected is for internal FAA use only, and not public consumption. The FAA's Non-Federal Program will retain control over the information and safeguard it from improper access, modification, and destruction, consistent with FAA standards for confidentiality, privacy, electronic information and document retention guidance. (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. Technical Reference Data Record (TRDR), FAA Form 6000-10A. (Called Record of Meter Readings and Adjustments, Form FAA-198, in 14 CFR Part 171.) TRDRs contain the facility's parameters, including equipment adjustments and all meter readings, and the sponsor must fill it out at the end of commissioning the facility. The sponsor must retain this information on-site. During each periodic inspection, review of this document verifies that the facility remains within initial tolerance. Technical Performance Record (TPR), FAA Form 6000-8A. (Called Radio Equipment Operation Records, Form 418, in 14 CFR Part 171.) TPRs contain a record of system parameters recorded in each scheduled routine maintenance visit to the facility. The sponsor or the sponsor's representatives must keep the original of each record at the facility and send a copy of the form to the FAA. This form provides proof and/or validation that the facility's parameters are within tolerance during each periodic inspection. Facility Maintenance Logs, FAA Form 6030-1. (Called Facility Maintenance Log, Form 406C, in 14 CFR Part 171.) Facility Maintenance Logs are a permanent record of all the activities required to maintain a non-Federal facility. Logging is necessary in accordance with FAA policy. The entries must include all malfunctions encountered, if any, information on adjustments, equipment failures, causes, and corrective action taken. In addition, the entries must include any periodic maintenance required to operate the facility, and issuance of any facility NOTAMs. The FAA must receive copies of the logs. Generally, completion and close out of logs are at the end of each month. However, if maintenance or a scheduled outage carries over into the next month, the relevant log must be closed out at the conclusion of that maintenance or outage. In the case of an unscheduled outage that lasts longer than 60 seconds, the log must be terminated in time to ensure that the FAA will receive a copy of the log within 20 days of the outage's occurrence. This form documents a complete history of the operation and maintenance of the facility for the facility's life cycle until decommissioning.
