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.
