online at https://www.faa.gov/forms/ 

index.cfm/go/document.information/ 

documentID/1020386. The completed 

application is sent to the district office 

that has jurisdiction over the area in 

which the applicant’s home base of 

operation is located. 

The information collected includes: 

Type of application, operator’s name/ 

DBA, telephone number, mailing 

address, physical address of the 

principal base of operations, chief pilot/ 

designee name, airman certificate grade 

and number, and aircraft make/model 

and registration numbers to be used. 

This information collection also 

includes safety mitigation plans; plans 

for operations over congested areas; and 

recordkeeping requirements. 

Respondents: There are 1,763 active 

agricultural aircraft operators. 

Approximately 50 operators are 

certificated annually, and 

approximately 50 certificates are 

surrendered or revoked. 

Frequency: New applications when 

needed; current 14 CFR part 137 

certificate do not expire, but may need 

to be amended on occasion. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The FAA anticipates 100 

applications for new certificates, at 0.5 

hours each; 100 applications for 

amendment, at 0.5 hours each; 100 

petitions for exemption, at 0.5 hours 

each; and 350 submissions of plans for 

operations over congested areas, at 0.5 

hours each. The total reporting burden 

is thus 650 responses and 325 hours. 

All operators certificated under part 

137 are required to maintain certain 

records for a minimum of 12 months. 

The FAA estimates this recordkeeping 

burden at 4.5 hours per operator. 

Assuming a universe of 1,763 operators, 

the annual recordkeeping burden is 

7,934 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 325 

reporting hours + 7,934 recordkeeping 

hours = 8,259 total hours.

wide inside travel lane and a 14-foot 

wide shared use lane in each direction. 

A six-foot wide sidewalk would be 

constructed along the east side of the 

roadway and a 12-foot shared-use path 

would be constructed along the west 

side. The total project length is 

approximately 1.6 miles. The purpose of
