    Title: Mitsubishi MU-2B Series Airplane Special Training 
Requirements.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Background: In response to the increasing number of accidents and 
incidents involving the Mitsubishi MU-2B series airplane, the Federal 
Aviation Administration (FAA) began a safety evaluation of the MU-2B in 
July of 2005. As a result of this safety evaluation, on February 6, 
2008 the FAA issued Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 108--
Mitsubishi MU-2B Series Special Training, Experience, and Operating 
Requirements. This Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 
established a standardized pilot training program. The collection of 
information is necessary to document participation in, completion of, 
and compliance with the pilot training program for the MU-2B under 
subpart N of part 91, issued on September 7, 2016, which superseded 
SFAR No. 108.
    Respondents: Approximately 15 part 91 training providers, and 
approximately 250 active MU-2 pilots.
    Frequency: Every year (pilots); every two years (training 
providers).
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Pilots: Logbook endorsement 
and training course final phase check = 10 minutes. Training providers: 
Submission of training program = 4 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Pilots: 21 hours. Training 
providers: 30 hours. Total: 51 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on November 16, 2022.
