ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
FAA invites public comments about our intention to request Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information
collection. The Federal Aviation Administration Extension, Safety, and
Security Act of 2016 was enacted on July 15, 2016. Section 2307 of
FESSA, Medical Certification of Certain Small Aircraft Pilots, directed
the FAA to
[[Page 50878]]
``issue or revise regulations to ensure that an individual may operate
as pilot in command of a covered aircraft'' without having to undergo
the medical certification process prescribed by FAA regulations if the
pilot and aircraft meet certain prescribed conditions as outlined in
FESSA. This collection enables those eligible airmen to establish their
eligibility with the FAA.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 25, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.

Title: Alternative Pilot Physical Examination and Education
Requirements.
Form Numbers: FAA forms 8700-2 and 8700-3.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Background: The FAA will use this information to determine that
individual pilots have met the requirements of section 2307 of Public
Law 114-190. It is important for the FAA to know this information as
the vast majority of pilots conducting operations described in section
2307 of Public Law 114-190 must either hold a valid medical certificate
or be conducting operations using the requirements of section 2307 as
an alternative to holding a medical certificate.
The FAA published a final rule, Alternative Pilot Physical
Examination and Education Requirements, to implement the provisions of
section 2307, on January 11, 2017.
Respondents: Approximately 50,000 individuals.
Frequency: Course: Once every two years; medical exam: once every
four years.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 21 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 17,500 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC on September 23, 2019.

Project Manager, Flight Standards Service, General Aviation and
