The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on Feb 2, 2021. The collection involves FAA's primary requirement for annual hours flown, optimal determination of sample size is based on flight time variation by state and aircraft type, and a sampling fraction is determined for each cell with a no-zero population. Sample units are selected randomly within each stratum. Respondents to this survey are owners of general aviation aircraft. This information is used by FAA, NTSB, and other government agencies, the aviation industry, and others for safety assessment, planning, forecasting, cost/benefit analysis, and to target areas for research.

Title: General Aviation and Part 135 Activity Survey.
Form Numbers: 1800-54.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on Feb 2, 2021 (85 FR 71710). Title 49, United States
Code, empowers the Secretary of Transportation to collect and
disseminate information relative to civil aeronautics, to study the
possibilities for development of air commerce and the aeronautical
industries, and to make long-range plans for, and formulate policy with
respect to, the orderly development and use of the navigable airspace,
radar installations and all other aids for air navigation. These data
are necessary to assess performance of the Department of Transportation
in meeting the strategic goal for General Aviation safety as
[[Page 47705]]
described in the Destination 2025 Strategic Plan.
The agency and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) use
the exposure data, both by itself and in conjunction with aircraft age,
to calculate accident rates, which are used to compare safety over time
and safety performance among different aircraft types and
configurations.
The agency and the NTSB will use the exposure data for public use
aircraft to calculate accident rates for those aircraft. The NTSB is
now required to investigate accidents involving public use aircraft.
This is a responsibility assigned by Public Law 103-411.
Respondents: Owners of General Aviation Aircraft.
Frequency: Annual.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: (36,000 x 20/60) = 12,000 hours.
Issued in Washnigton, DC, on August, 23, 2021.
