Abstract
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 obtaining basic information from new aviation insurance applicants about eligible aviation insurance applicants needed to establish a legally binding, non-premium insurance policy with the FAA, as requested by another Federal agency, such as the applicants name and address, and the aircraft to be covered by the policy. The information collected will be used to determine whether applicants are eligible for Chapter 443 insurance and the amount of coverage necessary; populate non-premium insurance policies with the legal name and address; and meet conditions of coverage required by each insurance policy. As a condition of coverage, air carriers will be required to submit any changes to the basic information initially submitted on the application, as necessary. Air carriers will also be responsible for providing a copy of their current commercial insurance policy on an ongoing basis, and aircraft registration and serial numbers for any new aircraft the air carrier would like to add to the policy. This information will form part of a legally binding agreement (i.e., insurance policy) between the FAA and air carrier. Failure to provide this updated information could result in lack or denial of coverage.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Aviation
Insurance
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 obtaining basic information from
new aviation insurance applicants about eligible aviation insurance
applicants needed to establish a legally binding, non-premium insurance
policy with the FAA, as requested by another Federal agency, such as
the applicants name and address, and the aircraft to be covered by the
policy. The information collected will be used to determine whether
applicants are eligible for Chapter 443 insurance and the amount of
coverage necessary; populate non-premium insurance policies with the
legal name and address; and meet conditions of coverage required by
each insurance policy. As a condition of coverage, air carriers will be
required to submit any changes to the basic information initially
submitted on the application, as necessary. Air carriers will also be
responsible for providing a copy of their current commercial insurance
policy on an ongoing basis, and aircraft registration and serial
numbers for any new aircraft the air carrier would like to add to the
policy. This information will form part of a legally binding agreement
(i.e., insurance policy) between the FAA and air carrier. Failure to
provide this updated information could result in lack or denial of
coverage.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by April 15, 2022.

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: 2120-0514.
Title: Aviation Insurance.
Form Numbers: 2120-0514.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: Title 49 U.S.C. 44305 authorizes the Administrator of
the Federal Aviation Administration, acting pursuant to a delegation of
authority from the Secretary of Transportation, to provide aviation
insurance at the request of another Federal agency, without premium,
provided that the head of the Federal agency agrees to indemnify the
FAA from loss.
The FAA Non-Premium Aviation War Risk Insurance Program offers war
risk coverage, without premium, to air carriers at the request of DoD
and other Federal agencies. DoD and other Federal agencies rely on the
FAA to provide aviation war risk insurance to contracted air carriers
supporting mission objectives and operations that is not available
commercially on reasonable terms and conditions. Air carriers never
insured under the FAA Non-Premium War Risk Insurance
[[Page 9414]]
Program must submit an application before the FAA can provide coverage.
Respondents: The FAA currently insure 31 U.S. air carriers through
its Non-Premium Aviation Insurance Program at the request of other
Federal agencies. We estimate the addition of one new air carrier to
the program each year. In addition, air carriers insured will be
required to provide and update information on an ongoing basis as a
condition of insurance coverage and to remain eligible for insurance
policy renewals.
Frequency: The initial application for insurance is required only
from air carriers that have not previously received aviation insurance
from the FAA. We estimate one new air carrier will need to submit an
application annually; 6 insured air carriers will need to update basic
information submitted on their initial application, such as business
name and/or address, annually; 31 insured air carriers will be required
to provide one commercial insurance policy to the FAA annually by
uploading an electronic image into the FAA's Aviation Insurance Data
Management System (AIDMS) annually; and 31 insured air carriers will
need to update their Schedule of Aircraft with aircraft registration
data adding and removing a total of 550 aircraft to or from AIDMS,
annually.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Initial Application--4
hours; Commercial Policy Submission--10 minutes; Business Information
Update--5 minutes; and Aircraft Schedule Update--2 minutes per
aircraft.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 28 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on February 14, 2022.
