Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Part 60--
Flight Simulation Device Initial and Continuing Qualification and Use

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 collection involves requirements necessary to ensure 
safety-of-flight by ensuring that complete and adequate training, 
testing, checking, and experience is obtained and maintained by those 
who operate under certain parts of FAA's regulations and use flight 
simulation in lieu of aircraft for these functions.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by June 6, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into 
search field).
    By mail: Sandra L. Ray, 1187 Thorn Run Road, Suite 200, Coraopolis, 
PA 15108.
    By fax: 412-239-3063.

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. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0680.
    Title: Part 60--Flight Simulation Device Initial and Continuing 
Qualification and Use.
    Form Numbers: T001A, T002, T004, T011, T011-FD2, T012, T023, T024, 
T025, T068, T069.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: Title 49 U.S.C., section 44702 empowers and requires 
the Secretary of Transportation to issue operating certificates and to 
establish minimum safety standards for the operation of air carriers 
and those to whom such certificates are issued. Also, title 49 U.S.C., 
section 44701 empowers and requires the Administrator of the Federal 
Aviation Administration (FAA) to prescribe standards applicable to the 
accomplishment of the mission of the FAA.
    Sponsors who wish to maintain certified training centers are 
mandated to report to this collection. This collection is necessary to 
ensure that those who must comply with title 14 CFR part 61, part 63, 
part 91, part 121, part 135, part 141, and part 142 are able to provide 
adequate crewmember training and qualification. This collection also 
helps to ensure safety-of-flight by ensuring those who operate under 
these parts of the regulation and use flight simulation in lieu of 
aircraft for these functions, receive and maintain complete and 
adequate training, testing, checking, and experience. The FAA will use 
the information it collects and reviews to ensure compliance and 
adherence to regulations and, where necessary, to take enforcement 
action on violators of the regulations.
    Respondents: 66 Flight Simulation Device Operators.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Varies per Requirement.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 88,541.5 Hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on March 31, 2022.
