    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on November 16, 2020 (85 FR 73124). One comment was 
received, however it was political in nature and does not relate to 
this information collection. Under Special Federal Aviation Regulation

certificated air carriers, as well as training centers they employ, 
with a regulatory alternative for training, checking, qualifying, and 
certifying aircrew personnel subject to the requirements of 14 CFR 
parts 121 and 135. Data collection and analysis processes ensure that 
the certificate holder provides performance information on its 
crewmembers, flight instructors, and evaluators that will enable them 
and the FAA to determine whether the form and content of training and 
evaluation activities are satisfactorily accomplishing the overall 
objectives of the curriculum.
