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 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.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 13, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ronda 
Thompson, Room 300, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 950 
L'Enfant Plaza SW., Washington, DC 20024.
