Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Certification: 
Pilots and Flight Instructors

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. 14 CFR Part 61 prescribes certification standards for 
pilots, flight instructors, and ground instructors. The information 
collected is used to determine compliance with applicant eligibility. 
This revision to the current approved collection incorporates the 
burden for the certification of second-in-command pilot type rating, 
previously approved under the separate OMB control number 2120-0693. 
This is being done for the purpose of consolidation under a single OMB 
control number.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 11, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carla Scott on (202) 385-4293, or by 
e-mail at: Carla.Scott@faa.gov.
