Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Human Space 
Flight Requirements for Crew and Space Flight Participants

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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the Human Space Flight Requirements for Crew and 
Space Flight Participants collection of information was published on 
June 12, 2019. The collection involves information demonstrating that a 
launch or reentry operation involving a human participant will meet the 
risk criteria and requirements to ensure public safety. The information 
to be collected is necessary for the FAA to assess crew qualification 
and training; for operators to inform space flight participants and 
crew members of the risks associated with launch and reentry 
activities; for the implementation of waiver of claims; and to ensure 
environmental control and life support systems and other systems 
adequately protect public health and safety.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by September 18, 2019.

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.
