    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Background: Section 213 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 
requires FAA to establish an Expert Panel comprised of ODA holders, 
aviation manufacturers, safety experts, and FAA labor organizations. 
The Panel is instructed in the Act to conduct a survey, ``of ODA 
holders and ODA program applicants to document and assess FAA 
certification and oversight activities, including the use of the ODA 
program and the timeliness and efficiency of the certification 
process.'' The survey's purpose will be to provide information of 
whether ODA processes and procedures function as intended, and such 
information will be incorporated into the Expert Panel's report of 
assessment and recommendations.
    Respondents: Respondents may include ODA holders, ODA applicants, 
ODA unit members, and FAA Organizational Management Team (OMT) leads/
members.
    Frequency: The survey will be distributed at least once to support 
the work of the Expert Panel, and may be re-administered to conduct a 
longitudinal study; or to support future efforts of the Panel as 
directed by Congress.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1 Hour.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Total: approximately 2,150 hours.
