    Abstract: Runway incursions are a risk to the public traveling in 
aircraft. Reduction of runway incursions is listed by the DOT Office of 
the Inspector General as one of the top ten transportation management 
improvements needed, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) 
has selected runway safety as one of their ``most wanted'' 
transportation safety improvements, and the FAA Administrator has 
directed that runway safety be one of the FAA's top five safety 
priorities. FAA has been concentrating on this issue for a decade and 
progress has been elusive, in part because of a lack of feedback from 
people working and flying on the runways in the NAS. Feedback from 
surveys will be used in the prevention of runway collisions and in the 
reduction of the severity and frequency of runway incursions.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 1,670 hours annually.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20503, Attention FAA Desk Officer.
    Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimates of the burden of 
the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on October 29, 2003.
