SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA

Management and Budget (OMB) approval for renew an information

within the aviation community. The information to be collected will be 
used to and/or is necessary because it will lead to improvements for 
safety within the National Airspace.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov/2020-0623.
    By mail: SAFE Program, Office of Flight Standards, Federal Aviation 
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591.
    By fax: 202-267-4200.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edward Kleinschmidt by email at: 
[email protected]; phone: 202-267-4265.

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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0759.
    Title: SAFE Program.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Background: Aviation Safety Awareness, Feedback, and Evaluation 
Program (``SAFE''). The SAFE program is a federally directed, compliant 
with the 2017 OMB Comprehensive Plan for Reforming Federal Government, 
program with the following primary intents, all of which are designed 
to increase overall aviation safety:

    Promote continuous improvements to maintain the safest aviation 
system in the world;
    Understand current aviation stakeholder (customer) perceptions of 
effectiveness;
    Produce actionable results and findings to continue effective 
programs while recommending alternate strategies, where needed, to 
increase effectiveness;
    Communicate feedback effectively with aviation stakeholders 
regarding current effectiveness indices within particular communities 
and the plan to maintain effective programs or alter other programs to 
increase effectiveness.

    The information will be collected from five aviation stakeholder 
groups; general aviation pilots, mechanics, repair station, commercial 
and air transport pilots, and air carriers. Information will be 
collected in the areas of certification, communication, safety, 
training, and interaction with the FAA. The information will be 
collected by an online survey program as well as by paper copies sent 
directly to the respondents.
    Respondents: Respondents include the Aviation Community (general 
aviation pilots, mechanics, repair station, commercial and air 
transport pilots, and air carriers).
    Frequency: NA.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Twenty (20) minutes, on 
average, to complete the survey in any of the response modes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: The total average annual burden for 
the 3-year approval period is 527 hours per year. A mixed mode survey 
approach is being used in an effort to offset the individual burden by 
providing a means of requesting a print version and the convenience of 
on-demand electronic versions. This allows the respondent to choose how 
and when to complete the survey.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on July 1, 2020.

SAFE Program Assistant, Office of Flight Standards, Federal Aviation 
Administration.
