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: 2120-0005.
Title: General Operating and Flight Rules FAR 91 and FAR 107.
Form Numbers: N/A.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Background: In 2004, the FAA published a final rule requiring
operators of experimental aircraft to apply for a Letter of Deviation
Authority (LODA) to conduct operations for compensation or hire under
14 CFR 19.319. See 69 FR 44771 (July 27, 2004). When publishing the
2004 final rule, the FAA inadvertently omitted its submission to the
OMB detailing the information collection burden under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA). See 69 FR at 44858 (explaining estimated PRA
burden and OMB compliance requirements). As a result of this omission,
the existing OMB collection does not account for the PRA burden of
LODAs issued to operators under Sec. 91.319.
In the 2004 final rule, the FAA also required that, beginning
January 31, 2010, all experimental light sport aircraft (ELSA)
operators would similarly need to apply for a LODA to conduct
operations for compensation or hire. 69 FR at 44853 (explaining LODA
requirements for ELSA operators). This additional LODA requirement--
published in the 2004 final rule with an effective date in 2010--was
also inadvertently not accounted for in the OMB's information
collection. As a result of these inadvertent omissions to OMB, the FAA
submits this Notice for Public Comment to ensure compliance with the
PRA.
Importantly, the FAA has already requested and received public
comment on the anticipated PRA burden for obtaining a LODA for
experimental and ELSA aircraft operators. See 69 FR at 44858
(adjudicating comments from public regarding PRA burden). Thus, the FAA
notes that it considered comments from interested members of the public
when finalizing the LODA requirements under Sec. 91.319. In other
words, the FAA submits this Notice merely to ensure technical
compliance with the OMB's
[[Page 8336]]
PRA requirements, as a matter of diligence in meeting these
requirements and ensuring accuracy in recordkeeping procedures.
Therefore, the FAA does not anticipate any substantive impact from
submission of this Notice to ensure technical compliance.
Respondents: 355 certificated flight instructors. There are
approximately 177 active LODA holders for operations under 14 CFR
91.319, and the FAA anticipates approximately 170 new applications per
year.
Frequency: As needed. The duration of a LODA issued under Sec.
91.319 is four years.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,250 hours per year.
Issued in Washington, DC, on February 8, 2022.

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