Revision of an Existing Information Collection: Medical Standards and 
Certification

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations, the FAA invites 
public comments about our intention to request OMB approval to revise 
an existing information collection. The information collected is used 
to determine if applicants are medically qualified to perform the 
duties associated with the class of airman medical certificate sought. 
The FAA intends to revise the information it is collecting via FAA form 
8500-8, in part, to respond to recommendations made in an April 2014 
General Services Administration report entitled ``FAA Should Improve 
Usability of its Online Application System and Clarity of the Pilot's 
Medical Form.''

DATES: Comments should be submitted by August 21, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ronda 
Thompson, Room 300, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 950 
L'Enfant Plaza SW., Washington, DC 20024.
    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.
    The FAA is seeking comments only with regard to the burden 
associated with the information collection activity under OMB Control 
Number 2120-0034. As such, any comments received that cite this notice 
but are outside of the scope of the collection activity under OMB 
Control Number 2120-0034 will not be addressed.
