Office of the Secretary
Availability of the 2005 Federal Radionavigation Plan
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy,
DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Availability of the 2005 Federal Radionavigation
Plan.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The 2005 edition of the Federal Radionavigation Plan (FRP) has
been published and is available for comment. All comments, concerns,
and suggestions regarding the current policies and plans in the 2005
FRP will be considered in formulation of the 2007 FRP. The policies in
the 2005 FRP focus on transition to GPS based services, recognizing the
need to maintain backup navigation aids and provide redundant
radionavigation service where required. The FRP is the official source
of radionavigation policy and planning for the Federal Government, as
directed by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998
(10 U.S.C. 2281(c)). It is prepared jointly by the U.S. Departments of
Defense (DoD), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and Homeland
Security (DHS) with the assistance of other government agencies. This
edition of the FRP updates and replaces the 2001 FRP and covers common-
use radionavigation systems (i.e., systems used by both civil and
military sectors). Systems used exclusively by the military are covered
in the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) Master Positioning,
Navigation, and Timing Plan (MPNTP). The FRP includes the introduction,
policies, operating plans, system selection considerations, and
research and development sections. The companion document entitled
Federal Radionavigation Systems (FRS) contains information on
government roles and responsibilities, user requirements, and systems
descriptions, and is published separately from the FRP. The FRS is
periodically updated as necessary.
DATES: Comments must be received by July 31 for consideration in
development of the 2007 FRP.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be forwarded to Chairman, DOT POS/NAV
Working Group, U.S. Department of Transportation, Navigation and
Spectrum Policy (P-50), Room 6423-F, 400 7th Street, SW., Washington,
DC 20590. E-mail: John.Augustine@dot.gov.
