[Docket No. FAA-2023-0289]

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

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 February 7, 2023. The Federal Aviation Administration 
Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016 (FESSA) was enacted on July 
15, 2016.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by May 19, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brad Zeigler by email at: 
[email protected]; phone: 202-267-9601.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0770.
    Title: Alternative Pilot Physical Examination and Education 
Requirements (BasicMed).
    Form Numbers: FAA forms 8700-2 and 8700-3.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Background: Section 2307 of 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.
    The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting 
comments on the following collection of information was published on 
February 7, 2023 (88 FR 8029). 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 April 11, 2023.

Senior Analyst, Airmen and Airspace Rules Division, Office of 
Rulemaking.
