Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Commercial Air 
Tour Operator Reports

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. The commercial air tour operational data provided to the 
FAA and NPS will be used by the agencies as background information 
useful in the development of air tour management plans and voluntary 
agreements for purposes of meeting the mandate of the National Parks 
Air Tour Management Act (NPATMA) of 2000.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 13, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ronda 
Thompson, Room 300, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 950 
L'Enfant Plaza SW., Washington, DC 20024.

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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronda Thompson at (202) 267-1416, or 
by email at: Ronda.Thompson@faa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0750.
    Title: Commercial Air Tour Operator Reports.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection of information.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 included 
amendments to the National Parks Air Tour Management Act (NPATMA) of 
2000. One of these amendments requires commercial air tour operators 
conducting tours over national park units to report on the number of 
operations they conduct and any such other information prescribed by 
the FAA Administrator and the Director of the National Park Service 
(NPS).
    Respondents: Approximately 75 air tour operators.
    Frequency: Information is collected quarterly, or annually for park 
units with fewer than 50 tours per year.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 11.66 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,200 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 4, 2015.
