AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
FAA invites public comments about our intention to request Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The Federal Aviation Administration Extension, Safety, and 
Security Act of 2016 was enacted on July 15, 2016. Section 2307 of 
FESSA, Medical Certification of Certain Small Aircraft Pilots, directed 
the FAA to

[[Page 50878]]

``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 November 25, 2019.

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)

    Title: Alternative Pilot Physical Examination and Education 
Requirements.
    Form Numbers: FAA forms 8700-2 and 8700-3.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Background: 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 September 23, 2019.

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