DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Notice of Intent To Request Renewal From the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) of Seven Current Public Collections of Information

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.), the FAA invites public comment on seven currently approved 
public information collections which will be submitted to OMB for 
renewal.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 12, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed or delivered to the FAA at the 
following address: Ms. Judy Street, Room 613, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Standards and Information Division, APF-100, 800 
Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Judy Street at the above address 
or on (202) 267-9895.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. Therefore, the FAA solicits 
comments on the following current collections of information in order 
to evaluate the necessity of the collection, the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden, the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected, and possible ways to minimize the 
burden of the collection in preparation for submission to renew the 
clearances of the following information collections.
    1. 2120-0008, Operating Requirements: Domestic, Flag, and 
Supplemental Operations. Title 49 U.S.C. 44702, 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. Each operator seeking to obtain, 
or is in possession of, an air carrier operating certificate must 
comply with the requirements of 14 CFR part 121. The FAA will use the 
information it collects and reviews to insure compliance and adherence 
to regulations and, if necessary, to take enforcement action on 
violations. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 1,278,856 
hours.
    2. 2120-0014, Procedures for Non-Federal Navigational Facilities 
FAR Part 171. The non-Federal navigation facilities are aids to air 
navigation which are purchased, installed, operated, and maintained by 
an entity other than the FAA and are available for use by the flying 
public. FAR Part 171 describes procedures for receiving permission to 
install a facility and requirements to be fulfilled to keep it in 
service. These requirements include inspection and periodic 
maintenance. These tasks and any other repair work done to these 
facilities is recorded in on-site logs, copies of which are sent to the 
regional office. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 
29,516 hours.
    3. 2120-0535, Antidrug Program for Personnel Engaged in Specified 
Aviation Duties. 14 CFR Part 121, Appendix I and J, require specified 
aviation employers to implement and conduct FAA-approved antidrug 
programs. To monitor program compliance, institute program 
improvements, and anticipate program problem areas, the FAA receives 
drug test reports from the aviation industry. The current estimated 
annual reporting burden in 38,679 hours.
    4. 2120-0597, Application for Employment and the Federal Aviation 
Administration. Under the authority given by Public Law 104-50, the FAA 
has developed and implemented its own system for evaluating and hiring 
new personnel. The information collected is used to help determine the 
qualifications of potential new FAA hires. The current estimated annual 
reporting burden is 75,000 hours.
    5. 2120-0600, Training and Qualification Requirements for Check 
Airmen and Flight Instructors. Some experienced pilots who would 
otherwise qualify as flight instructors or check airmen but who are not 
medically eligible to hold the requisite medical certificates, cannot 
perform flight instructor or check airmen functions, even in 
simulators. This rule establishes separate requirements for check 
airmen who check only in flight simulators and flight instructors who 
instruct only in flight simulators. The information collected is used 
by the FAA to assure that these check airmen and instructors maintain 
the high qualification standards required to perform their safety 
functions. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 13 hours.
    6. 2120-0604, Aviation Medical Examiner Program. The information 
collected is used to determine applicants' professional and personal 
qualification to become an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME). Physicians 
who respond are prospective AMEs. The current estimated annual 
reporting burden is 225 hours.
    7. 2120-0649, Financial Responsibility Requirements for Licensed 
Reentry Activities. The information to be collected supports the FAA in 
determining the amount of required liability insurance that is needed 
for a reentry operator after examining the risks associated with a 
reentry vehicle, its operational capabilities, and its designated 
reentry site. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 1,566 
hours.
