NFDC Web Portal forms are used to collect aeronautical information, detailing the physical description and
operational status of all components of the National Airspace System (NAS).
The information is distributed via the National Flight Data Digest (NFDD), a daily publication available at no charge to
the general public, government, military, and private producers of aeronautical publications.
(https://nfdc.faa.gov/nfdcApps/services/publicData/nfdd.jsp). The information is used to update government, military,
and private aeronautical database, charts, publications, and flight management systems. This includes all Airport
Metadata, NAVAID, ATC Communication for Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs), Terminal Radar Approach
Control Facilities (TRACON) and Flight Service Station (FSS) Facilities. Reporting of this information in mandatory,
i.e. airport operators are required to submit any changes to their facilities that might appear on aeronautical charts or
publications (e.g. runway extensions or lighting changes). This is considered to be reporting of information vs.
recordkeeping or disclosure. Information is collected on a continual basis.

We are no longer accepting FAA Form 7900-5 Weather (WX) System Data Form, and FAA Form 7900-6 Instrument Landing System (ILS) Data Form because we never have received any input from the public using these forms.
We are no longer accepting the Special Activity Area forms.(Note: This form currently does not have an approved form number as the form was referred to as 7900-XX in the previous request for approval for this collection and was never developed once the collection was approved.) Thus we never have received any input from the public using this form.
In previous collections the burden from two screens:1.) Aeronautical Data Changes (ADC) and 2.) Aeronautical Chart Changes (ACC) were combined and represented as NFDC - Public-Use Civil Airports burden. In this revision the burden resulting from the use of the ADC screen is listed a separately, while the burden resulting from the use of the ACC screen is listed as a separate value. There are separate screenshots for each of these values.
