[Docket No. FAA-2019-0772]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of a New Approval of Information Collection: Pilot Reports 
(PIREP)

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 for a new information collection. 
The collection involves an aircraft pilot's voluntary submission of 
weather conditions that were encountered while in flight. The 
information to be collected is necessary because Pilot Report (PIREP) 
Solicitation and Dissemination has been identified by the ATO as one of 
the Top 5 hazards in the National Airspace System (NAS). For certain 
weather conditions, PIREPs are the only means of confirmation that 
forecasted conditions are occurring. The FAA 7110-2 PIREP Form is a 
guide to assist pilots in submitting Pilot Weather Reports into the 
NAS.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 30, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into 
search field).
    By mail: Federal Aviation Administration, Mail Stop AJR-B1, 800 
Independence Ave SW, Suite 300 W, Washington, DC 20591.
    By fax: 202-267-6310.
