Abstract
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection via the FAA's deployed Web-based Frequency Coordination system (WebFCR), which collects certain broadcast and transmitter frequency information under OMB control number 2120-0786. The information collected is needed to perform the aeronautical studies, technical evaluations required, and to meet the specified requirements for the radio frequency engineering pursuant to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 6050.32.B, Chapter 3, Section 302. This FAA Order outlines the U.S. National Organizations and the role of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in assigning and coordinating the Aviation Assignment Group (AAG) radio spectrum used by the FAA to support aeronautical services. Hence, the FAA must "authorize" aeronautical frequencies of broadcast applications that impact the AAG bands.

[Docket No. FAA-2026-2469]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: For the
Information Collection Entitled, Website for Frequency Coordination
Request
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection
via the FAA's deployed Web-based Frequency Coordination system
(WebFCR), which collects certain broadcast and transmitter frequency
information under OMB control number 2120-0786. The information
collected is needed to perform the aeronautical studies, technical
evaluations required, and to meet the specified requirements for the
radio frequency engineering pursuant to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Order 6050.32.B, Chapter 3, Section 302. This FAA
Order outlines the U.S. National Organizations and the role of the
National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in
assigning and coordinating the Aviation Assignment Group (AAG) radio
spectrum used by the FAA to support aeronautical services. Hence, the
FAA must ``authorize'' aeronautical frequencies of broadcast
applications that impact the AAG bands.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by May 28, 2026.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0786.
Title: Website for Frequency Coordination Request (WebFCR)
<a href="http://webfcr.faa.gov">webfcr.faa.gov</a>.
Form Numbers: Historically related to FAA Form 7460-1.
Type of Review: Request for renewal of information collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on February 25, 2026 (91 FR 9323).
The 49 U.S.C. 44718(c) under Broadcast Applications and Tower
Studies states, `In carrying out laws related to a broadcast
application--the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration
and the Federal Communications Commission shall take action necessary
to coordinate efficiently--(1) The receipt and consideration of, and
action on, the application; and (2) The completion of any associated
aeronautical study.
Currently, transmitter broadcast radio frequency data is collected
via OMB Control 2120-0786 to address non-Federal, military, U.S.
federal agency, state, and municipalities broadcast applications which
require consideration, analysis, or aeronautical studies pursuant to 49
U.S.C. 44718(c).
Respondents: Approximately 4800 annually. The Respondents are
engineers, analysts, consultants, stakeholders, or federal agency
managers, including military services, who need to transmit on a radio
frequency that is within the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration's (NTIA) Aviation Assignment Group (AAG)
frequency band, which is assigned to the FAA for civil aviation use.
The response to this data collection is required for the proponent to
obtain FAA concurrence to use a radio frequency that impacts civil
aviation. The information collected through the WebFCR portal supports
the engineering, modeling, validation, and workflow management of the
request to evaluate if the request interferes or impacts civil aviation
operations pursuant to FAA Order 6050.32B.
Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 0.2 Hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 960 Hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on April 24, 2026.
Christopher S. Jones,
FAA Frequency Assignment Subcommittee Representative, Group, Spectrum
Engineering and Assignment, AJW-1910.
