[Docket No. FAA-2019-0755]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Alternative 
Pilot Physical Examination and Education Requirements

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 Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was 
published on September 26, 2019. Section 2307 of the Federal Aviation 
Administration Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016 (FESSA), 
Medical Certification of Certain Small Aircraft Pilots, directed the 
FAA to ``issue or revise regulations to ensure that an individual may 
operate as pilot in command of a covered aircraft'' without having to 
undergo the medical certification process prescribed by FAA regulations 
if the pilot and aircraft meet certain prescribed conditions as 
outlined in FESSA. This collection enables those eligible airmen to 
establish their eligibility with the FAA.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by February 13, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of 
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to 
oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to 
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management 
and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, 
DC 20503.

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)

    Form Numbers: FAA forms 8700-2 and 8700-3.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on September 26, 2019 (84 FR 50877). The FAA will use 
this information to determine that individual pilots have met the 
requirements of section 2307 of Public Law 114-190. It is important for 
the FAA to know this information as the vast majority of pilots 
conducting operations described in section 2307 of Public Law 114-190 
must either hold a valid medical certificate or be conducting 
operations using the requirements of section 2307 as an alternative to 
holding a medical certificate.
    The FAA published a final rule, Alternative Pilot Physical 
Examination and Education Requirements, to implement the provisions of 
section 2307, on January 11, 2017.
    Respondents: Approximately 50,000 individuals.
    Frequency: Course: Once every two years; medical exam: Once every 
four years.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 21 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 17,500 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on January 8, 2020.

Project Manager, Flight Standards Service, General Aviation and 
Commercial Division.
