Federal Aviation Administration

[Docket No. 2024-1721]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: PIREP Form FAA 
Form 7110-2

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

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. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was 
published on July 03, 2024. The collection involves an aircraft pilot's 
voluntary submission of weather conditions that were encountered while 
in flight. The information to be collected is necessary because Pilot 
Report (PIREP) Solicitation and Dissemination has been identified by 
the ATO as one of the Top 5 hazards in the National Airspace System 
(NAS). For certain weather conditions, PIREPs are the only means of 
confirmation that forecasted conditions are occurring. The FAA 7110-2 
PIREP Form is a guide to assist pilots in submitting Pilot Weather 
Reports into the NAS.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 20, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0801.
    Title: PIREP Form FAA form 7110-2.
    Form Numbers: FAA 7110-2.
    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 July 03, 2024 (89 FR 55301). Pilot reporting of 
weather conditions, commonly referred to as PIREPs, has been standard 
procedure during most of the twentieth century. PIREPs are voluntary 
reports from pilots describing weather conditions observed while 
flying. In some instances, PIREPs are the only way for forecasters to 
confirm the forecasted conditions are occurring. Complete, accurate, 
and timely weather information from PIREPs is an essential element of 
flight safety for all aircraft operations in the National Airspace 
System (NAS). This information is used by pilots to avoid inadvertent 
encounters with hazardous weather and preventing weather-related 
accidents. Pilots most commonly submit PIREPs verbally via radio to air 
traffic control (ATC). The PIREP Form, FAA Form 7110-2, is a tool to 
assist ATC personnel and pilots to report the conditions encountered in 
the proper format. It is essential that the weather conditions in a 
PIREP be reported be in the correct format to ensure the timely 
dissemination and availability to the users of the NAS, to include 
pilots, ATC, National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists, and weather 
researchers. The collection of PIREPs is as needed.
    Respondents: Pilots.
    Frequency: On occasion, depending on the weather conditions 
encountered.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Three minutes per hour.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: <1 hour per respondent.

    Issued in Washington, DC on October 15, 2024.
