Department of TransportationUS Transportation CollectionThe Federal Radionavigation Plan (FRP) is the official source of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) policy and planning for the Federal Government. It is required by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 1998, as published under Title 10 United States Code, Section 2281, paragraph (c) (10 USC 2281(c)). The FRP is prepared jointly by the Departments of Defense (DoD), Homeland Security (DHS), and Transportation (DOT), with the assistance of other government agencies and published not less than every two years. This 2019 edition of the FRP reflects the policy and planning for present and future federally provided PNT systems, covering common-use PNT systems (i.e., systems used by both civil and military sectors). Exclusively military systems and policies are covered in the current version of the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction 6130.01, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) Master Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Plan (MPNTP).The FRP contains chapters covering Roles and Responsibilities, Policy, representative PNT User Requirements (while the FRP outlines the PNT performance requirements for various user groups, it is not a formal requirements document for the Federal Government), Operating Plans, and the National PNT Architecture, as well as appendices covering System Parameters and Descriptions, PNT Information Services, and Geodetic Reference Systems and Datums. It is updated biennially, allowing more efficient and responsive updates of policy and planning information.86
