SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0039 

Title: Operating Requirements: 

Commuter and On-Demand Operation 

Form Numbers: N/A. 

Type of Review: This is a revision of 

an existing information collection. 

Background: The Federal Register 

Notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on the following 

collection of information was published 

on June 14, 2018 (83 FR 27822). On June 

27, 2018, the FAA published the final 

rule Regulatory Relief, Aviation 

Training devices; Pilot Certification, 

Training, and Pilot Schools; and Other 

Provisions (83 FR 30232). In that rule, 

the FAA is amending § 135.99 by adding 

paragraph (c) to allow a certificate 

holder to receive approval of a secondin-command (SIC) professional 

development program (SIC PDP) via 

operations specifications (Ops Specs) to 

allow the certificate holder’s pilots to 

log SIC time in operations conducted 

under part 135 in an airplane or 

operation that does not otherwise 

require a SIC. As explained in the rule, 

the FAA believes that a comprehensive 

SIC PDP will provide opportunities for 

beneficial flight experience that may not 

otherwise exist and also provide 

increased safety in operations for those 

flights conducted in a multicrew 

environment. The FAA is establishing 

requirements in § 135.99(c) for 

certificate holders, airplanes, and 

flightcrew members during operations 

conducted under an approved SIC PDP. 

Those changes are reflected in this 

information collection. 

The FAA is also changing certain 

logging requirements to enable the 

logging of SIC time obtained under a SIC 

PDP. Those changes are reflected in a 

revision to information collection 2120– 

0021. 

Respondents: Operators who 

currently possess an FAA approved PIC 

or SIC training program could revise 

and utilize those existing programs to 

qualify their pilots seeking approval to 

log SIC time. Those operators that do 

not already possess an approved PIC/ 

SIC training program (that must include 

crew resource management training) 

would be required to submit a proposed 

new SIC training program for FAA 

approval. This would be amending an 

existing part 119 certificate. As of 

September 28, 2017 the FAA estimates 

that there were approximately 457 part 

135 operators with single engine 

turbine-powered airplanes or 

multiengine airplanes that would 

qualify or actually pursue the 

authorization to conduct a SIC 

professional development program. 

The FAA estimates that 

approximately 20 operators would be 

required to submit a newly developed 

SIC Professional Development Training 

Program for approval in the first year 

that the program is available. The FAA 

estimates that 50 operators will request 

an amendment to their existing PIC/SIC 

training program. This time burden is 

reflected in § 135.325, Training program 

and revision. 

Frequency: As needed. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Section 135.99(c) permits a 

certificate holder to seek approval of an 

SIC professional development program 

via issuance of operations specifications 

(Ops Specs) to allow the certificate 

holder’s pilots to log SIC time. Under an 

approved SIC professional development 

program, pilots may log SIC time in part 

135 operations conducted in 

multiengine airplanes and single engine 

turbine-powered airplanes that do not 

otherwise require an SIC, if those pilots: 

(1) Meet certification, training, and 

qualification requirements for pilots in 

part 135 operations, and (2) serve under 

the supervision of a part 135 PIC who 

meets certain experience requirements. 

The FAA estimates that 20 operators 

will take approximately 40 hours each 

to develop and submit an acceptable 

new SIC training program. This program 

change will result in a burden increase 

of 800 hours in the first year of 

information collection only. 

The FAA estimates that 50 operators 

will take approximately 20 hours each 

to revise and submit an acceptable SIC 

training program. This program change 

will result in a burden increase of 1,000 

hours. 

The new or revised SIC training 

program will result in a burden of 1,800 

total hours in the first year of 

information collection. 

In addition, the FAA has revised the 

burden in section 135.325 to remove the 

calculation of the burden for new 

applicants (for initial approval of 

training programs); this burden should 

not be reflected in this collection as it 

is already addressed in a previously 

approved collection (2120–0593 

Certification: Air Carriers and 

Commercial Operators—FAR Part 119). 

This change is necessary to avoid 

double-counting the burden. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: The 

overall burden for part 135 was 

previously estimated at 1,154,674 hours. 

With the removal of the initial 

certification burden already accounted 

for in the part 119 statement, addition 

of the SIC training program 

development and approval burden, the 

total new annual reduced burden 

estimate is 1,314,814 hours. This is a 

reduction of 160,140 hours from the 

previous estimate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0021. 

Title: Certification: Pilots and Flight 

Instructors. 

Form Numbers: 8710–1, 8710–13. 

Type of Review: This is a revision of 

an existing information collection. 

Background: The Federal Register 

Notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on the following 

collection of information was published 

on June 14, 2018 (83 FR 27822). On June 

27, 2018, the FAA published the final 

rule Regulatory Relief, Aviation 

Training devices; Pilot Certification, 

Training, and Pilot Schools; and Other 

Provisions (83 FR 30232). In that rule, 

the FAA is reducing the burden for 

instrument currency requirements 

under § 61.57 for those pilots that use 

aviation training devices. Prior to that 

final rule, § 61.57(c)(3) required persons 

using an aviation training device to 

establish instrument experience to 

complete the required tasks within the 

preceding 2 calendar months. Persons 

using an aircraft, full flight simulator, 

flight training device, or a combination, 

however, were required to establish 

instrument experience within the 

preceding 6 calendar months. 14 CFR 

61.57(c)(1)–(2). The final rule amends 

§ 61.57(c) to allow pilots to accomplish 

instrument experience in aviation 

training devices by performing the same 

tasks required for flight simulation 

training devices and aircraft, and at the 

same 6-month interval allowed for flight 

simulation training devices and aircraft. 

The FAA estimates that, of the 

102,811 active pilots with an instrument 

rating, that approximately 50% are 

maintaining currency. It is likely that 

only 15% of those pilots (approximately 

15,422 pilots) are using an aviation 

training device exclusively to maintain 

their instrument currency. For those 

pilots, this change will reduce the 

recordkeeping requirements of logging 

time from 6 times a year to two times 

a year, when logging instrument 

currency exclusively in an aviation 

training device. The FAA estimates this 

burden reduction to be 6168.8 hours 

annually. 

Additionally, the final rule amends 

§ 135.99 by adding paragraph (c) to 

allow a certificate holder to receive 

approval of a second in command (SIC) 

professional development program (SIC 

PDP) via operations specifications (Ops 

Specs) to allow the certificate holder’s 

pilots to log SIC time in operations 

conducted under part 135 in an airplane 

or operation that does not otherwise 

require a SIC. Specifically, with this 

final rule, § 61.159(c) allows pilots to 

log SIC time in part 135 operations in 

a single engine turbine-powered 

airplane or a multi-engine airplane that 

otherwise does not require an SIC. This 

will require the pilot to obtain a logbook 

endorsement from the pilot in command 

for each individual flight to log this time 

as SIC. The FAA estimates that of the 

76,957 Commercial Pilots with airplane 

and instrument privileges that 

approximately 10% (7,696) may actively 

pursue a SIC position with a Part 135 

operator that is approved for logging SIC 

time as described for this provision. 

However, because of the limited number 

of operators (approximately 457 

operators as of September 28, 2017) that 

would qualify or actually pursue this 

authorization, the FAA estimates that 

only 15% (1,154 pilots) might actually 

become qualified annually to log SIC 

time under this provision. This 

additional record keeping requirement 

will be reflected in Section 61.159, 

Aeronautical experience. The FAA 

estimates this SIC training program 

burden increase is 1,154 hours annually. 

Respondents: The total number of 

respondents in the airman certification 

program is estimated to be 

approximately 25 percent of the 

population of active certificated pilots 

and instructors. Given a population of 

825,000, the result is approximately 

206,250 respondents providing data on 

an annual basis. The total number of 

applicants for a remote pilot certificate 

with a small UAS rating is estimated to 

be 39,229 annually. 

Frequency: As needed. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: For the hour burdens 

resulting from the application 

requirements of the collection of 

information other than remote pilots 

with small UAS ratings, the FAA 

estimates that forms are submitted for 

these certificates and ratings at an 

average preparation time of 15 minutes 

(0.25 hrs) each. The average time 

estimate of 0.25 hours assumes that 

many individual applicants will submit 

an 8710–1 form more than once for 

various reasons, and that most of the 

information provided on the form likely 

will not have changed. For Part 107 we 

estimate that an average of 39,229 forms 

are submitted annually that require an 

average preparation time of 0.25 hours 

to complete. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: The 

total number of annual responses for the 

airman certification program is 

estimated to be 1,196,653. The FAA 

estimates the total reporting burden 

hours to be 43,157 hours. The FAA 

estimates the total recordkeeping 

burden hours to be 311,329 hours. The 

FAA estimates the burden for the 

collection of information to be 354,486 

hours annually.
