OMB 2120-0662

This collection is voluntary for laser operators (on a per occasion basis) planning to conduct outdoor laser operation(s). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) uses the information collected to evaluate potential hazards to aircraft operating in the National Airspace System (NAS). Ultimately, the goal of this collection is to maintain NAS safety and prevent an outdoor laser operation from striking an aircraft. Proponents complete and submit FAA Form 7140-1 to 1 of the 3 FAA service centers for review. Once the service center performs an initial review of the data provided in the response, they coordinate with one or more air traffic control facilities (e.g., a tower, approach control, or center) potentially affected by the proposed outdoor laser operation. The facility and/or facilities will review the proposed outdoor laser operation and provide feedback (no objection or list an objection to the operation) to the service center. If a facility lists an objection, the service center will contact the proponent and determine if the proponent can change the proposed operation to remove any objections. Once all coordination is complete, the service center will issue a determination to the proponent.
