already hold an AOC and comply with 

all current information collection 

requirements. 

Operators of certificated airports are 

permitted to choose the methodology to 

report information and can design their 

own recordkeeping system. As airports 

vary in size, operations and 

complexities, the FAA has determined 

this method of information collection 

allows airport operators greater 

flexibility and convenience to comply 

with reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements. 100% of the information 

may be submitted electronically. 

The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, 

Sec. 762 requires the FAA to provide a 

progress report on the national 

transition plan related to a fluorine free 

firefighting foam, every 180 days on the 

transition from fluorine-free firefighting 

foam until transition is complete. 

This Act requires that the FAA 

provide progress reports on the status of 

Part 139 airports transition to fluorinefree firefighting foam no later than 180 

days after the date of enactment of this 

Act, and every 180 days thereafter until 

the progress report termination date. 

These progress reports on the 

development and implementation of a 

national transition plan related to a 

fluorine-free firefighting foam that meets 

the performance standards referenced in 

Chapter 3—Agent Compatibility, 

Substitutions, and Performance 

Requirements of Advisory Circular 150/ 

5210.6E—Aircraft Fire Extinguishing 

Agents for Airports (AC 150/5210.62) 

issued on November 27, 2023, shall be 

submitted to the appropriate committees 

of Congress. These reports will also 

contain a comprehensive list of the 

amount of aqueous filmforming 

firefighting foam at each part 139 airport 

as of the date of the submission of the 

progress report, including the amount of 

such firefighting foam held in 

firefighting equipment and the number 

of gallons regularly kept in reserve at 

each such airports. In order to provide 

congress an accurate accounting to 

AFFF, the FAA must contact all 517 

airports to ascertain the amount at each 

airport. 

Respondents: Approximately 517 

airports. 

Frequency: Information collected on 

occasion. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 3 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

1,692 hours.
