Type of Review: This is a renewal of an existing information
collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on February 15, 2022 (87 FR 8631). Persons applying for
an airman certificate under part 61 are mandated to report information
using the Airman certificate and/or Rating Application form and the
required records, logbooks and statements to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Flight Standards District Offices or its
representatives on occasion. This information is used to determine
qualifications of the applicant for issuance of a pilot or instructor
certificate, or rating or authorization. The FAA estimates that there
are approximately 825,000 active certificated pilot airmen. This
includes student, private, commercial, airline transport pilot
certificate holders, as well as ground and flight instructors.
Approximately 25% of these pilots are providing data on an annual
basis. Instructor certificates must be renewed every 24 months to
remain effective. If the information collection were not conducted, the
FAA would be unable to issue the appropriate certificates and ratings.
Persons applying for a remote pilot certificate with a small UAS rating
under part 107, are mandated to report information using the FAA Form
8710-13, Remote Pilot Certificate and/or Rating Application. For
applicants who do not hold a pilot certificate under part 61, the
Remote Pilot Certificate and/or Rating Application is submitted along
with a documentation demonstrating that the applicant passed an
aeronautical knowledge test. For applicants who hold a pilot
certificate under part 61 and meet the flight review requirements of
Sec. 61.56, the Remote Pilot Certificate and/or Rating Application is
submitted with evidence of completion of the training program is
estimated to be approximately 25 percent of the population of active
certificated pilots and instructors. Given a population of 825,000, the
result is approximately 206,250 respondents providing data on an annual
basis. The total number of applicants for a remote pilot certificate
with a small UAS rating is estimated to be 39,229 annually.
Respondents: Existing and prospective airmen.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Approximately 15 minutes per
response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 333,194 hours per year for reporting
and recordkeeping.
Issued in Washington, DC, on April 19, 2022.
