    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on June 16, 2023 (88 FR 39503). Title 49, United States 
Code, Section 44701 (formerly the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, Section 
601) authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to provide for 
reasonable rules and regulations necessary to provide for minimum 
safety. 14 CFR part 125 prescribes requirements for issuing operating 
certificates and for appropriate operating rules. The reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements under this collection are necessary for the 
FAA to issue, reissue, and amend part 125 applicants' operating 
certificates and operation specifications. A letter of application and 
related documents that set forth an applicant's ability to conduct 
operations in compliance with the provisions of 14 CFR part 125 are 
submitted to the appropriate Flight Standards District Office (FSDO). 
Inspectors in FAA FSDOs review the submitted information to determine 
certificate eligibility. If the letter of application, related 
documents, and inspection show that the applicant satisfactorily meets 
acceptable safety standards, an operating certificate and operations 
specifications will be issued. If the information were not collected, 
the FAA could not discharge its responsibility to promote the safety of 
large airplane operators during such operations.
    Respondents: 54 part 125 operators (38 certificated operators, 15 
operators issued a Letter of Deviation Authority (LODA), and one new 
applicant per year).
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 13 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Approximately 36,000 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on March 5, 2024.

Aviation Safety Analyst, Flight Standards Service, General Aviation and 
Commercial Division.
