    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on June 27, 2019 (84 FR 30787). No comments were 
received. In response to the increasing number of accidents and 
incidents involving the Mitsubishi MU-2B series airplane, the Federal 
Aviation Administration (FAA) began a safety evaluation of the MU-2B in 
July of 2005. As a result of this safety evaluation, on February 6, 
2008 the FAA issued Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 108--
Mitsubishi MU-2B Series Special Training, Experience, and Operating 
Requirements. This Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 
established a standardized pilot training program. The collection of 
information is necessary to document participation in, completion of, 
and compliance with the pilot training program for the MU-2B under 
subpart N of 14 CFR part 91, issued on September 7, 2016, which 
superseded SFAR No. 108.
    Respondents: Approximately 20 part 91 training providers, and 
approximately 400 active MU-2 pilots.
    Frequency: Every year (pilots); every two years (training 
providers).
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Pilots: Logbook endorsement 
and training course final phase check = 10 minutes. Training providers: 
Submission of training program = 4 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Pilots: 67 hours. Training 
providers: 40 hours. Total: 107 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC on September 4, 2019.
