HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PROJECT FOR EVALUATION BY FEDERAL AGENCIES


In addition to the obstruction evaluation required by the FAA, other federal agencies also analyze wind energy projects for impacts to their assets. Although developers may contact us directly, we recommend developers submit their projects through the National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA) as early as possible in their planning process. The NTIA submission preferably should be done well before submitting the project to the FAA for obstruction evaluation. Although we would prefer to have firm turbine locations and heights, we can evaluate impacts with development area coordinates (e.g. polygon coordinates) and estimated maximum turbine heights. The NTIA contact is:
 
Edward Davison edavison@ntia.doc.gov
Secretary, Department of Commerce (DOC)
National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA)
Domestic Spectrum Policies & IRAC Support Division (DSID)
Work Phone: (202) 482-5526


See Sections 4.1.6 and 5.9.1 of the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) Wind Energy Siting Handbook http://www.awea.org/sitinghandbook/ for more information.
