public information collections which will be submitted to OMB for 
renewal.

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. 2120-0007, Flight Engineers and Flight Navigators. 49 U.S.C. 
44902(a), 44702(a)(2), and 44707(1) authorize issuance of airman 
certificates and provide for examination and rating of flying schools. 
FAR 63 prescribes requirements for flight navigator certification and 
training course requirements for these airmen. Information collected is 
used to determine certification eligibility. The current estimated 
annual reporting burden is 1,416 hours.
    2. 2120-0008, Operating Requirements: Domestic, Flag and 
Supplemental Operation--Part 121. 14 CFR Part 121 prescribes the 
requirements governing air carrier operations. The information 
collected is used to determine air operators' compliance with the 
minimum safety standards set out in the regulation and the applicant's 
eligibility for air operations certification. The current estimated 
annual reporting burden is 1,273,247 hours.
    3. 2120-0014, Procedures for Non-Federal Navigation Facilities. The 
non-Federal navigation facilities are electrical/electronic 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. These aids may be located at unattended remote sites or airport 
terminals. The information kept are used by the FAA as proof that the 
facility is maintained within certain specified tolerances. The current 
estimated annual reporting burden is 33,116 hours.
    4. 2120-0535, Anti-Drug Program for Personnel Engaged in Specified 
Aviation Activities. 14 CFR Part 121, Appendices I and J, require 
specified aviation employers to implement FAA-approved antidrug and 
alcohol misuse prevention programs and conduct testing of safety-
sensitive employees. To monitor compliance, institute program 
improvements, and anticipate program problem areas, the FAA receives 
reports from the aviation industry. The current estimated annual 
reporting burden is 26,373 hours.
    5. 2120-0600, Training and Qualification Requirements for Check 
Airmen and Flight Instructors. The rule allows some experienced pilots 
who would otherwise qualify as flight instructors or check airmen, but 
who are not medically eligible to hold the requisite medical 
certificate, to perform flight instructor or check airmen functions in 
a simulator. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 13 hours.
    6. 2120-0604, Aviation Medical Examiner Program. This collection of 
information is necessary in order to determine applicants' professional 
and personal qualifications for certification

as an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME). The information is used to 
develop the AME directories used by airmen who must undergo periodic 
examinations by AMEs. The current estimated annual reporting burden in 
225 hours.
    7. 2120-0682, Certification of Repair Stations, Part 145 of Title 
14, CFR. Information is collected from applicants who wish to obtain 
repair station certification. Applicants must submit FAA form 8310-3 to 
the appropriate FAA flight standards district office for review. If the 
application is satisfactory, an onsite inspection is conducted. When 
all the requirements have been met, an air agency certificate and 
repair station operations specifications with appropriate ratings and 
limitations are issued. The current estimated annual reporting burden 
is 270,239 hours.
    8. 2120-0702, Use of Certain Personal Oxygen Concentrator (POC) 
Devices on Board Aircraft. The rule requires passengers who intend to 
use an approved POC to present a physician statement before boarding. 
The flight crew must then inform the pilot-in-command that a POC is on 
board. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 172,694 hours.
    9. 2120-0703, Responsibility for Operational Control During Part 
135 Operations. As part of our safety oversight responsibilities, the 
FAA has developed questions concerning elements of the operational 
control system employed by certain Part 135 operators. The current 
estimated annual reporting burden is 262 hours.
