DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Automatic 
Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) Out Performance Requirements 
To Support Air Traffic Control (ATC) Service

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 a previously approved 
information collection. FAA regulations require performance 
requirements for certain avionics equipment on aircraft operating in 
specified classes of airspace within the United States national 
Airspace System. This facilitates the use of ADS-B for aircraft 
surveillance by FAA air traffic controllers to accommodate the expected 
increase in demand for air transportation.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by May 5, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of 
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to 
[email protected], or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to 
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management 
and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronda Thompson by email at: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of

information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the accuracy of the 
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the quality, utility and 
clarity of the information collection; and (d) ways that the burden 
could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected 
information. The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in 
the request for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0728.
