    Title: Customer Survey--Program Evaluation of FAA Airman 
Certification and/or Rating Application.
    OMB Control Number: 2105-NEW.
    Type of Request: Emergency request for a one-time collection of 
information.
    Affected Entities: A percentage of persons from the following 
groups: FAA personnel, airmen, academics and industry.
    Abstract: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently 
reengineered the Airmen Certification and/or Rating Application (ACRA) 
process. This effort was undertaken as a means of streamlining the time 
and effort involved for people. In the Department's continuing 
endeavors to improve the way we do business and to provide more 
efficient and cost effective services to our constituents, we will 
conduct a process program evaluation to determine the extent to which 
the FAA Airmen Certification and/or ACRA system has reduced paperwork 
burden, enhanced customer satisfaction, and/or improved productivity/
efficiency. Hopefully, this survey will allow us to determine if the 
findings could have applicability to other departmental information 
collections. This program evaluation was mentioned in both the 
Department's Fiscal Year 1999 Performance Plan and its Paperwork 
Reduction Strategic Plan submitted to the Office of Management and 
Budget in December, 98.
    Average Annual Burden per Respondents: 10-15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 15 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on March 1, 1999.

Clearance Officer, United States Department of Transportation.
