# 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 an information collection.

*Type of Review:*                     Renewal of an information collection.                

*Background:*                     The                     **Federal Register**                     Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on October 3, 2023 (88 FR 68271). The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 included amendments to the National Parks Air Tour Management Act (NPATMA) of 2000, which applies to commercial air tour operators who conduct tours over or within a half mile of a national park unit. One of these amendments requires commercial air tour operators conducting tours over national park units to provide the FAA and National Park Service with certain information on these operations. The information collected includes the date and time of day of the tour operation, the make and model of aircraft the tour was taken in, the name of tour route flown, and as required, flight monitoring data. The information allows the agencies to track air tour activity over national park units and provides background information that the agencies can utilize when developing an air tour management plan or voluntary agreement for a national park unit. Respondents are the commercial air tour operators currently authorized to conduct tours over national parks. Operators complete the information on a reporting template and providenbvvbnvwd6 either email it or mail it in to the agencies.                

*Respondents:*                     39 commercial air tour operators nationwide.                

*Frequency:*                     Information is collected semi-annually (twice a year), or annually for park units with 50 or fewer tours per year.                

*Estimated Average Burden per Response:*                     25.6 hours.                

*Estimated Total Annual Burden:*                     1,998 hours.
