DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of Renewed Approval of 

Information Collection: Certification of 

Airports 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

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 an 

information collection. 14 CFR part 139 

establishes certification requirements 

for airports serving scheduled air carrier 

operations in aircraft with 10–30 seats. 

The collection involves FAA Form 

5280–1, Application for Airport 

Operating Certificate. Every airport that 

wants to become a certificated Part 139 

airport must complete this form, as well 

as provide a draft Airport Certification 

Manual (ACM). In addition, currently 

certificated Part 139 airports must 

maintain their ACM, as well as keep and 

maintain records related to training, 

self-inspection, and other requirements 

of Part 139. 

These records allow the FAA to verify 

compliance with Part 139 safety and 

operational requirements to ensure that 

the airports meet the minimum safety 

requirements of Part 139, which in turn 

enhances the safety of the flying public. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by October 1, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA 

at the following address: Barbara Hall, 

Federal Aviation Administration, ASP– 

110, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort 

Worth, TX 76177. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0675. 

Title: Certification of Airports, 14 CFR 

part 139. 

Form Numbers: FAA Form 5280–1. 

Type of Review: Renewal of an 

information collection. 

Background: The statutory authority 

to issue airport operating certificates to 

airports serving certain air carriers and 

to establish minimum safety standards 

for the operation of those airports is 

currently found in Title 49, United 

States Code (U.S.C.) § 44706, Airport 

operation certificates. The FAA uses 

this authority to issue requirements for 

the certification and operation of certain 

airports that service commercial air 

carriers. These requirements are 

contained in Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulation part 139 (14 CFR part 139), 

Certification and Operations: Land 

Airports Serving Certain Air Carriers, as 

amended. Information collection 

requirements are used by the FAA to 

determine an airport operator’s 

compliance with part 139 safety and 

operational requirements, and to assist 

airport personnel to perform duties 

required under the regulation. 

Operators of certificated airports are 

required to complete FAA Form 5280– 

1 and develop, and comply with, a 

written document, an Airport 

Certification Manual (ACM), that details 

how an airport will comply with the 

requirements of part 139. The ACM 

shows the means and procedures 

whereby the airport will be operated in 

compliance with part 139, plus other 

instructions and procedures to help 

personnel concerned with operation of 

the airport to perform their duties and 

responsibilities. 

When an airport satisfactorily 

complies with such requirements, the 

FAA issues to that facility an airport 

operating certificate (AOC) that permits 

an airport to serve air carriers. The FAA 

periodically inspects these airports to 

ensure continued compliance with part 

139 safety requirements, including the 

maintenance of specified records. Both 

the application for an AOC and annual 

compliance inspections require 

operators of certificated airports to 

collect and report certain operational 

information. The AOC remains in effect 

as long as the need exists and the 

operator complies with the terms of the 

AOC and the ACM. 

The likely respondents to new 

information requests are those civilian 

U.S. airport certificate holders who 

operate airports that serve scheduled 

and unscheduled operations of air 

carrier aircraft with more than 30 

passenger seats (approximately 530 

airports). These airport operators 

already hold an AOC and comply with 

all current information collection 

requirements. 

Operators of certificated airports are 

permitted to choose the methodology to 

report information and can design their 

own recordkeeping system. As airports 

vary in size, operations and 

complexities, the FAA has determined 

this method of information collection 

allows airport operators greater 

flexibility and convenience to comply 

with reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements. 100% of the information 

may be submitted electronically. 

The FAA has an automated system, 

the Certification and Compliance 

Management Information System 

(CCMIS), which allows FAA airport 

safety and certification inspectors to 

enter into a national database airport 

inspection information. This 

information is monitored to detect 

trends and developing safety issues, to 

allocate inspection resources, and 

generally, to be more responsive to the 

needs of regulated airports. 

Respondents: Approximately 530 

airports. 

Frequency: Information collected on 

occasion. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 22 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

95,191 hours. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on July 24, 

2018.
