DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Notice of Intent to Request Review From the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) of One Proposed Public Collection 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 one proposed public 
information collection which will be submitted to OMB for approval.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 8, 2003.

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 proposed collection 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.
    The following is a description of the collection activity:
    Title: Information for the Prevention of Aircraft Collisions on 
Runways at Towered Airports. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
Office of Runway Safety (ARI) would like to collect data on a periodic 
basis to determine performance of people operating in the National 
Airspace System (NAS) in relation to runway incursion risk. Information 
to be collected will include voluntary feedback on the efficacy of 
runway safety initiatives designed to reduce the risk of collision on 
the Nation's runways. Reduction of runway incursions is listed by the 
Department of Transportation (DOT) Office of the Inspector General 
(OIG) as one of the top ten transportation management improvements 
needed, and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has 
selected runway safety as one of their ``most wanted'' transportation 
safety improvements. There is a lack of feedback information from 
people working and flying on the runways in the NAS. Feedback gathered 
on the accuracy and effectiveness of collision prevention methods will 
be used by the FAA in the future to improve safety performance. Data 
will be collected from varied respondents who have the potential to be 
involved in a runway collision. The sample population will be 
stratified into four general areas: Pilots, vehicle drivers, 
pedestrians, and management who exercise oversight of the varied 
respondents.
    An annual total of 12,500 hours of burden are expected from an 
estimated 150,000 potential annual respondents; however, the FAA 
estimates a 25% response rate.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on June 30, 2003.
Judith D. Street,
FAA Information Collection Clearance Officer, APF-100.
