Type of Review: New information collection.
Background: This is a new collection and is required to retain a
benefit from the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA). The new
collection will be conducted for reporting purposes and will assist in
the FAA in administering a new Veteran's Flight Training Services
Workforce Development Grant Program. As part of the FAA's FY20
appropriation, Congress directed the FAA to use a portion of the
appropriation to help facilitate the future supply of adequate pilots
and to award competitive grants with a priority given to accredited
flight schools by the Department of Education or hold a restricted
airline transport pilot letter of authorization. The collection will be
conducted by the FAA in applications for grant awards not more
frequently than annually with bi-annual final reports from all grant
recipients. It will provide critical data on locations where the grant
dollars are being used to plan and respond the aircraft pilot workforce
shortage. This information will provide the FAA with an indication of
where gaps exist in planning for the workforce shortage and will help
the FAA determine which projects have the great ability to help address
the forecasted aircraft pilot shortage. At a date that is still to be
determined, the FAA will post a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
www.grants.gov upon completing the Paperwork Reduction Act's required
30 Day Federal Register Notice, Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
review period and OMB's final issuance of a Paperwork Reduction Act
Clearance number for the program.
Respondents: The FAA estimates approximately 30 respondents from
Accredited flight schools by the Department of Education or hold a
restricted airline transport pilot letter of authorization.
Frequency: The collection will be conducted by the FAA in
applications for grant awards not more frequently than annually with
bi-annual and final reports from all grant recipients.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 4 Hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 360 Hours (4 Hours x 30 respondents
x 3 responses per year).
