SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Qualitative Study of Factors 

that Influence Healthcare Seeking in 

Pilots; OMB Control Number 0701– 

TPHB. 

Type of Request: New. 

Number of Respondents: 100. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 100. 

Average Burden per Response: 48 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 80. 

Needs and Uses: Information 

collection via semi-structured 

interviews is necessary to conduct a 

qualitative study of US Air Force active 

duty pilots, US Air Force trainee pilots, 

civilian collegiate aviation students, and 

commercial airline pilots. Data 

collection will focus on the following: 

(1) factors that negatively influence 

healthcare utilization and aeromedical 

disclosure during screening, (2) factors 

that support healthcare utilization and 

aeromedical disclosure during 

screening, and (3) factors that can be 

modified to address pilot healthcare 

avoidance from a pilot’s perspective to 

inform future prospective research. This 

study has been approved as part of the 

FY22 Studies and Analysis (S&A) 

Portfolio by the Commander of the 

United States School of Aerospace 

Medicine (USAFSAM). The Air Force 

Aerospace and Operational Medicine 

(AO) Panel (lead by the AFMRA/SG3P) 

provides baseline S&A funds to 

USAFSAM to address urgent and nearterm needs, issues, and consultative 

questions that arise from installations, 

the Aerospace Medicine Community 

(Team-SGP) and Line of the Air Force 

senior leadership and commanders that 

are appropriate for one-year, short term 

investigative work. 

Aircraft pilots are required to meet 

certain medical standards in order to 

function as a required aircrew member. 

If a pilot develops a new symptom or 

condition and discloses it during 

aeromedical screening, the pilot runs 

the risk of temporary or permanent loss 

of their flying status. This can result in 

negative occupational, social, and 

financial repercussions for the pilot. For 

this reason, it has been hypothesized 

that a subset of pilots participates in 

healthcare avoidance or does not fully 

disclose during aeromedical screening 

due to fear for aeromedical certificate 

loss. Evolving data is beginning to 

clarify the vast scope of this issue. A 

recent publication of over 3,500 US 

pilots showed that 56.1% of pilots 

reported a history of healthcare 

avoidance behavior due to fear for loss 

of aeromedical certification (1). More 

concerning, 60.1% of another sample of 

US pilots reported delaying or forgoing 

medical care due to fear for loss of 

flying status (2). Healthcare avoidance 

in aircraft pilots due to fear for loss of 

flying status may be prevalent, but many 

unanswered questions remain about 

factors that influence healthcare 

utilization and medical disclosure 

during aeromedical screening. 

Research on pilot healthcare 

avoidance is critical to maintain 

military readiness for the following 

reasons: (1) optimizing existing medical 

assets increases the efficiency and 

effectiveness of warfighting capability 

without increased investment; (2) early 

presentation to medical care can 

increase the operational career and 

medical readiness of pilots, resulting in 

increased readiness efficacy and cost 

savings; and (3) research on pilots can 

inform how the aeromedical system 

supports this generation of pilots in the 

future (this population of pilots is 

hypothesized to have different 

healthcare preferences and behaviors 

from previous generations of pilots).

households.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Jurisdictional Determination 

Forms and Aquatic Resources 

Delineation Forms; ENG Forms 6116 (0– 

9), 6245–6250, 6281 (1–2); OMB Control 

Number 0710–0024. 

Needs and Uses 

Jurisdictional Determination Forms 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(Corps), through its Regulatory Program, 

regulates certain activities in waters of 

the United States (WOTUS), pursuant to 

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act 

(CWA). WOTUS are defined under 33 

CFR part 328. The Corps also regulates 

certain activities in ‘‘navigable waters of 

the United States’’ pursuant to Sections 

9 and 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act 

of 1899 (RHA). The Corps has 

authorized its district engineers to issue 

formal determinations concerning the 

applicability of the CWA or the RHA to 

tracts of land. (See 33 CFR 320.1(a)(6)). 

These formal determinations concerning 

the applicability of the CWA or RHA to 

tracts of land are known as 

‘‘jurisdictional determinations.’’ 

Approved jurisdictional determinations 

(AJDs) and preliminary JDs (PJDs) are 

tools used by the Corps to help 

implement Section 404 of the CWA (33 

U.S.C. 1344) and Sections 9 and 10 of 

the RHA (33 U.S.C. 401, et seq.). Both 

types of JDs specify what geographic 

areas will be treated as subject to 

regulation by the Corps under one or 

both statutes. 

On August 29, 2023, the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

and Department of the Army (the 

agencies) issued a final rule to amend 

the final ‘‘Revised Definition of ‘Waters 

of the United States’’’ rule, published in 

the Federal Register on January 18, 

2023. This final rule conforms the 

definition of ‘‘waters of the United 

States’’ to the U.S. Supreme Court’s May 

25, 2023, decision in the case of Sackett 

v. Environmental Protection Agency. 

Parts of the January 2023 Rule are 

invalid under the Supreme Court’s 

interpretation of the Clean Water Act in 

the Sackett decision. Therefore, the 

agencies have amended key aspects of 

the regulatory text to conform it to the 

Court’s decision. The conforming rule, 

‘‘Revised Definition of ’Waters of the 

United States’; Conforming,’’ published 

in the Federal Register and became 

effective on September 8, 2023. 

As a result of ongoing litigation on the 

January 2023 Rule, the agencies are 

currently implementing the January 

2023 Rule, as amended by the 

conforming rule, in 23 states, the 

District of Columbia, and the U.S. 

Territories. In the other 27 states and for 

certain parties, the agencies are 

interpreting ‘‘waters of the United 

States’’ consistent with the pre-2015 

regulatory regime and the Supreme 

Court’s decision in Sackett until further 

notice. 

This information collection request 

thus implements the collections of 

information associated with the Corps’ 

implementation of the 2023 Rule, as 

amended, and the pre-2015 regime 

consistent with Sackett. The Corps 

intends to implement the 2023 

Conforming Rule and the pre-2015 

regime consistent with Sackett using 

two forms, which consist of the 

Preliminary Jurisdictional 

Determination Form (PJD Form) and a 

‘‘JD Request Form.’’ Under the most 

recent regulatory regimes (the 

September 2023 Conforming Rule and 

the pre-2015 regime consistent with 

Sackett), the Corps has elected to use a 

Memorandum for Record (MFR) instead 

of a JD ‘‘form’’ to document the basis of 

its jurisdictional decisions under those 

two regimes. While we are including 

four separate AJD Forms in this package, 

including (1) the ‘‘pre-2015 regime 

(a.k.a., ‘‘Rapanos’’)’’ AJD Form, (2) The 

pre-2015/Rapanos ‘‘dry land’’ AJD 

Form, (3) the 2020 NWPR AJD Form, 

and (4) the January 2023 Rule AJD 

Form, none of those four AJD Forms are 

currently in use. Even though these four 

forms are not currently in use, they are 

included in this collection for historical 

purposes. Therefore, there a total of six 

JD forms (the PJD Form, the JD Request 

Form, and the 4 historical AJD Forms) 

in this collection.
