Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of a Renewed Approval of 

Information Collection: Aviation 

Insurance 

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 collection involves 

obtaining information from air carriers 

to establish legally binding aviation war 

risk insurance policies with the FAA. 

The information to be collected is 

necessary to determine whether 

applicants are eligible for insurance and 

the amount of coverage necessary; 

populate insurance policies with 

business information; and meet 

conditions of coverage required by each 

insurance policy. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by February 28, 2025.

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. The agency 

will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0514. 

Title: Aviation Insurance. 

Form Numbers: Not applicable. 

Type of Review: Renewal of an 

information collection. 

Background: The FAA Aviation 

Insurance Program derives its authority 

from Title 49, United States Code, 

chapter 443 to issue aviation war risk 

insurance to air carriers with and 

without premium. FAA coverage is 

issued in support of mission objectives 

and operations when insurance is not 

available commercially on reasonable 

terms and conditions. Air carriers never 

insured must submit an application 

before the FAA can provide coverage. 

Applicants provide business 

information, aircraft to be covered by 

the policy, and information about 

commercial insurance policies. As a 

condition of FAA coverage, air carriers 

must submit any changes to the initial 

application information as necessary. 

Air carriers must also provide a copy of 

their current commercial insurance 

policy on an ongoing basis, as well as 

information for any new aircraft the air 

carrier would like to add to the FAA 

policy. This information is provided 

electronically to the FAA through a 

web-based system. The information is 

used to form the insurance policy 

between the FAA and the air carrier. 

Respondents: Air carriers applying for 

aviation insurance and updating 

required information. 

Frequency: Initial one-time 

application and updates to application 

information 1–2 times per year. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Initial application—4 hours; 

commercial policy submission—10 

minutes; business information update— 

5 minutes; and aircraft schedule 

update—2 minutes per aircraft. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 10 

minutes to 4 hours per respondent. 

Cumulative total 158 hours (maximum). 

Issued in Boonsboro, MD, on December 20, 

2024.
