Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: General 
Aviation and Part 135 Activity Survey

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 information collection. 
The collection enables the FAA to monitor the general aviation fleet to 
anticipate and meet demand for National Airspace System (NAS) 
facilities and services, assess the impact of regulatory changes on the 
fleet, and implement measures to assure the safe operation of all 
aircraft in the NAS. The data are also used by other government 
agencies, the general aviation industry, trade associations, and 
private businesses to identify safety problems and to form the basis 
for research and analysis of general aviation issues.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by August 23, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into 
search field).
    By Mail: Robert DeWolf, 800 Independence Avenue SW, Room 840 West, 
Washington, DC 20591.
    By fax: 202-267-5265.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert DeWolf by email at:

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: 2120-0060.
    Title: General Aviation and Part 135 Activity Survey.
    Form Numbers: 1800-54.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The General Aviation and Part 135 Activity Survey (GA 
Survey) provides the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) information 
on general aviation and on-demand Part 135 aircraft activity. Title 49, 
United States Code, empowers the Secretary of Transportation to collect 
and disseminate information relative to civil aeronautics, to study the 
possibilities for development of air commerce and the aeronautical 
industries, and to make long-range plans for, and formulate policy with 
respect to the orderly development and use of the navigable airspace, 
radar installations and all other aids for air navigation.
    The annual GA Survey questionnaire requests the aircraft owner or 
operator to provide information on flight activity, flight conditions, 
where the aircraft was flown, and aircraft characteristics. Survey 
samples are based on statistically selected aircraft registered with 
the FAA and located in the US or US territories. The sample is 
stratified by aircraft type, FAA region in which the aircraft is 
registered, whether the aircraft operates under a Part 135 certificate, 
and whether the aircraft was manufactured in the past five years. 
Select aircraft types and/or sub-populations are sampled at 100%.
    Responses are collected from owners and operators of the sampled 
aircraft through two modes: web-form and mailings of the questionnaire. 
As a result, aggregated statistical activity estimates are published 
and provided for analytical use in a myriad of applications and/or 
industries relating to the flight activity and aviation safety.
    Respondents: 36,000 aircraft owners.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 12,000 Hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on May 30th, 2024.

Program Manager, Federal Aviation Administration, Office of Accident 
Investigation & Prevention, Program Management Branch (AVP-220).
