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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Comments Invited: You are asked to

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

OMB Control Number: 2120-0763.
Title: Agency Information Collection Activities: Request for
Renewal of a Previously Approved Information Collection(s); Safety
Management Systems for Part 121 Certificate Holders.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Renewal of an Information Collection with changes.
Background: The information collected involves the collection and
analysis of safety data as part of a Safety Management System (SMS), as
required for part 121 by 14 CFR part 5, Safety Management Systems. The
information to be collected will continue to be used to show compliance
with part 5.
The existing information collection included the submission of SMS
Implementation Plans to the FAA by March 9, 2018. That portion of the
information collection has been completed and only new applicants for a
part 121 certificate will be required to submit SMS Implementation
Plans in the future. While the burden for existing part 121 certificate
holders is significantly reduced, it is anticipated there will be some
ongoing recordkeeping requirements for part 5 compliance.
A 60-Day Federal Register Notice and request for comments was
published on June 20, 2018 (83 FR 28758) and a 30-Day Federal Register
Notice and request for comments was published on September 17, 2018 (83
FR 46990). The FAA did not receive any comments on either notice. Since
the 60-Day and 30-Day notices, there are changes to the original
request and an additional 60-Day Federal Register Notice was
[[Page 1829]]
published on December 9, 2020 (85 FR 79256). The current number of
certificate holders in 2020 is 68 compared to 90 in 2015. The 68 part
121 certificate holders implemented a Safety Management System by the
March 9, 2018 part 5 deadline. The burden analysis has been revised
reflecting part 121 SMS implementation, revised industry numbers, and
analysis of post-implementation recordkeeping.
Respondents: All 68 existing part 121 certificate holders.
Frequency: Implementation Plan collection: 1 future applicant for
part 121 certificate (anticipating no more than one new applicant a
year). Recordkeeping requirement: Annual recordkeeping requirements for
all 68 existing part 121 certificates.
