DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Medical 
Standards and Certification

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The information collected is used to determine if 
applicants are medically qualified to perform the duties associated 
with the class of airman medical certificate sought. The Federal 
Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the 
following collection of information was published on February 11, 2014, 
vol. 79, no. 28, page 8233. FAA received one comment from the Equal 
Employment Opportunity Commission regarding Form 8500-14, noting that 
when used in the employment context, line 5 of the form, which asks 
whether the applicant has a family history of glaucoma, poses a 
conflict with the requirements of Title II of the Genetic Information 
Nondiscrimination Act of 2008. FAA will be considering this comment in 
an upcoming update to this form.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by June 2, 2014.
