SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of

soliciting comments on the following collection of information was

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.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 26, 2012.
