DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Reinstate Approval of Information Collection: Aviation 
Insurance

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 reinstate an information 
collection. The collection involves obtaining basic information from 
new aviation insurance applicants about eligible aviation insurance 
applicants needed to establish a legally binding, non-premium insurance 
policy with the FAA, as requested by another Federal agency, such as 
the applicants name and address, and the aircraft to be covered by the 
policy. The information collected will be used to determine whether 
applicants are eligible for Chapter 443 insurance and the amount of 
coverage necessary; populate non-premium insurance policies with the 
legal name and address; and meet conditions of coverage required by 
each insurance policy.
    As a condition of coverage, air carriers will be required to submit 
any changes to the basic information initially submitted on the 
application, as necessary. Air carrier's will also be responsible for 
providing a copy of their current commercial insurance policy on an 
ongoing basis, and aircraft registration and serial numbers for any new 
aircraft the air carrier would like to add to the policy. This 
information will form part of a legally binding agreement (i.e., 
insurance policy) between the FAA and air carrier. Failure to provide 
this updated information could result in lack or denial of coverage.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 15, 2018.

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.
    Public Comments Invited: 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.

was published on June 7, 2018 (83 FR 26537). Title 49 U.S.C. 44305

contracted air carriers supporting mission objectives and operations 
that is not available commercially on reasonable terms and conditions. 
Air carriers never insured under the FAA Non-Premium War Risk Insurance 
Program must submit an application before the FAA can provide coverage.

its Non-Premium Aviation Insurance Program at the request of other 
Federal agencies. We estimate the addition of four new air carriers to 
the program each year. In addition, air carriers insured will be 
required to provide and update information on an ongoing basis as a 
condition of insurance coverage and to remain eligible for insurance 
policy renewals.
