[Docket No. FAA-2020-0237]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Commercial 
Aviation Safety Team Safety Enhancement Questionnaires

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 collection involves the collection of data for the 
Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) to demonstrate voluntary 
participation with safety enhancements (SE). The CAST SEs are 
recommended best practices and implementation of the SEs is voluntary. 
It is vital for CAST to know the level of implantation of the SEs in 
order to determine the level of risk reduction in commercial aviation. 
To support this assessment CAST decided to gather information regarding 
the extent to which these SEs have been implemented by air carriers so 
it can determine if further action is required.
    To facilitate this data collection for CAST, the FAA has developed 
an information collection (questionnaire) for key SEs that air carriers 
and operators are asked to complete using the FAA's existing web-based 
system, Web-based Operations Safety System (WebOPSS). Completion of the 
questionnaires is voluntary, and is requested of all current, now 61, 
part 121 certificate holders that the FAA oversees.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by May 5, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
