Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Reinstatement Approval of Information Collection: Notice 
of Proposed Outdoor Laser Operations

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 reinstate a previously approved 
information collection. In order for the FAA to ensure safety it 
proposes to collect information from potential outdoor laser operators. 
The FAA will review the proposed laser activity against air traffic 
operations and verify that the laser operation will not interfere with 
air traffic operations.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 30, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Barbara 
Hall, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, 
Fort Worth, TX 76177.
    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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0662.
    Title: Notice of Proposed Outdoor Laser Operations.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form AC 7140-1.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement of an information collection.
    Background: The FAA will use the information gathered from laser 
operators planning to conduct outdoor laser operations to evaluate 
potential hazards to aircraft operating in the National Airspace System 
(NAS). Ultimately, the goal is to prevent an aircraft from being hit by 
the laser operation. The information will be reviewed by one of the 
three FAAs service centers and sent to the facility, which can be a 
Tower, TRACON or Center, that is being impacted by the operation. The 
faculty will review the proposed operation and state no objection or 
list an objection to the operation. If the facility lists an objection, 
then the service center will contact the proponent and see if 
adjustments can be made to the proposed operation.
    Respondents: Approximately 405 laser operations.
    Frequency: One time per laser operation.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 4 hours per 
form.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: An estimated 1,620 hours.
