NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD


Proposed Information Collection Activity: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The NTSB is announcing that it has submitted an Information 
Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for approval, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This ICR 
described completion of a Web-based form used to collect reports of 
certain resolution advisories (RAs), in accordance with 49 CFR 
830.5(a)(10). This Notice informs the public that it may submit 
comments concerning the NTSB's proposed collection of information to 
the NTSB Desk Officer at the OMB.

DATES: Submit written comments regarding this proposed collection of 
information by July 9, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Respondents may submit written comments on the collection of 
information directly to the Desk Officer for National Transportation 
Safety Board, Office of Management and Budget, Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs, fax 202-395-5806, or by electronic mail at 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Dunham, NTSB Office of Aviation 
Safety, at (202) 314-6387.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act, the NTSB previously published a Notice in the Federal Register 
indicating its proposal to collect the following information: (1) 
Confirmation that the incident to be reported falls under the scope of 
the rule; (2) contact information, such as the submitter's name, 
company (if any), email address, and telephone number; (3) information 
about the flight and aircraft, such as the call sign, type of aircraft, 
location and time of the occurrence, and altitude at which the aircraft 
experienced the RA; (4) information about the air traffic control (ATC) 
services being provided to the aircraft when the RA occurred, such as 
the ATC facility name and communications frequency in use; and (5) a 
brief description of the RA type and circumstances of the incident. 75 
FR 15460 (March 29, 2010). Title 49 CFR 830.5(a)(10), which requires 
reports of certain RAs, does not require completion of the Web-based 
form; however, the NTSB has created the Web-based medium in order to 
provide respondents with the option of completing it, in lieu of 
placing phone calls or sending other written communications to the NTSB 
Office of Aviation Safety.
    The NTSB did not receive any comments in response to the Notice of 
information collection. At this juncture, in accordance with OMB 
regulations that require this additional Notice for proposed ICRs, the 
NTSB seeks to notify the public that it may submit comments on this 
proposed ICR to OMB. 5 CFR 1320.10(a). Section 1320.10(a) requires this 
``notice directing requests for information, including copies of the 
proposed collection of information and supporting documentation, to the 
[NTSB].'' Section 1320.10(a) also requires the NTSB request that 
comments be submitted to OMB, directed to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs of OMB, Attention: Desk Officer for NTSB, within 30 
days of this notice's publication. Pursuant to Sec.  1320.10(a), the 
NTSB will provide a copy of this notice, together with the date of 
expected publication, to OMB. Under Sec.  1320.10(b), within 60 days of 
the receipt of the aforementioned documents, OMB will notify the NTSB 
of its decision to approve or disapprove the collection of information 
described herein. Section 1320.10(b) also states OMB shall provide at 
least 30 days for public comment after receipt of the proposed 
collection of information before making its decision.
    You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information 
collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed collection is necessary 
for the NTSB to perform its mission; (2) the accuracy of the estimated 
burden; (3) ways for the NTSB to enhance the quality, usefulness, and 
clarity of the collected information; and (4) ways that the burden 
could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected 
information. The NTSB will summarize and/or include your comments in 
the request for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
    Respondents' completion of the proposed Web-based form is 
voluntary, as respondents who seek to report an incident under 49 CFR 
830.5(a)(10) may do so by telephone or email. The Web-based form will 
be available on the NTSB Web site. The form is not duplicative of other 
agencies' collections of information. The NTSB estimates that 
respondents will spend approximately 10 minutes in completing the form. 
The NTSB estimates that approximately 120 respondents per year will 
complete the form.

    Dated: May 31, 2012.
Deborah A.P. Hersman,
Chairman.
