SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA solicits comments on any of the

the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected, 
and possible ways to minimize the burden of the collection. Following 
are short synopses of the 2 currently approved public information 
collection activities, which will be submitted to OMB for review and 
renewal:
    1. 2120-0034, Medical Standards and Certification. This information 
for the medical certification of airmen is collected under the 
authority of 49 U.S.C. 40113, 44701, 44501, 44702, 44709, 45303, and 
80111. The airman medical certification program is implemented by Title 
14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 61 and 67 (14 CFR parts 61 
and 67). Using four forms to collect information, the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) determines if applicants are medically qualified 
to perform the duties associated with the class of airman medical 
certificate sought. The forms used are: FAA form 8500-7, Report of Eye 
Evaluation; FAA Form 8500-8, Application for Airman Medical Certificate 
or Airman Medical and Student Pilot Certificate; FAA Form 8500-14, 
Ophthalmological Evaluation for Glaucoma; FAA Form 8500-20, Medical 
Exemption Petition (Operational Questionnaire). The applicants are 
persons desiring medical certificates. The total burdens hours 
associated with this collection is estimated to be 860,000 hours 
annually.
    2. 2120-0593, Commuter Operations and General Certification and 
Operations Requirements. Title 49 U.S.C. Section empowers the Secretary 
of Transportation to issue air carrier operating certificates and to 
establish minimum safety standards for the operation of the air carrier 
to whom such certificates are issued. The respondents to this 
information collection will be Far Part 135 commuter operators 
transitioning to FAR Part 121 operating standards. The FAA will use the 
information to ensure compliance and adherence to the regulation. It is 
estimated that the burden associated with the transition will be 36,000 
hours.

    Issued in Washington, D.C., on July 30, 1998.
