Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA)

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established comprehensive policies and procedures to evaluate potential hazards to air navigation posed by construction or alteration projects. These assessments are critical to maintaining the safety and efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS). To support this effort, the FAA’s Air Traffic Organization (ATO) developed the Obstruction Evaluation and Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) System, a web-based platform that enables public submission and FAA processing of proposed construction or alteration notices. The collection and processing of this information are authorized under 49 U.S.C. § 44718 and 14 CFR Part 77, which pertains to the notice and study of proposed construction or alteration near navigable airspace. This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the OE/AAA System was developed pursuant to Section 208 of the E-Government Act of 2002 because the FAA is utilizing a web-based capability in which a sponsor/representative’s Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is collected to process their notice.
