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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on December 20, 2021. The collection involves reporting exceeded flight duty periods and flight times, including scheduled maximum and actual flight duty periods and flight times, basic flight information (e.g., city pairs, departure times, flight number), and reason for exceedance. Reporting and recordkeeping are required any time a certificated air carrier has exceeded a maximum daily flight time limit or a maximum daily Flight Duty Period (FDP) limit. It is also required for the voluntary development of a Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS), and for fatigue training. The information is necessary to monitor trends in exceedance and possible underlying systemic causes requiring operator action, and to determine whether operator is scheduling realistically.

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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was
published on December 20, 2021. The collection involves reporting
exceeded flight duty periods and flight times, including scheduled
maximum and actual flight duty periods and flight times, basic flight
information (e.g., city pairs, departure times, flight number), and
reason for exceedance. Reporting and recordkeeping are required any
time a certificated air carrier has exceeded a maximum daily flight
time limit or a maximum daily Flight Duty Period (FDP) limit. It is
also required for the voluntary development of a Fatigue Risk
Management System (FRMS), and for fatigue training. The information is
necessary to monitor trends in exceedance and possible underlying
systemic causes requiring operator action, and to determine whether
operator is scheduling realistically.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by May 31, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--

[[Page 25563]]
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.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0751.
Title: Flight and Duty Limitations and Rest Requirements--
Flightcrew Members.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on December 20, 2021 (86 FR 72026). The FAA collects
reports from air carriers conducting passenger operations certificated
under 14 CFR part 121 as prescribed in 14 CFR part 117 Flightcrew
Member Duty and Rest Requirements, Sec. Sec. Sec. 117.11, 117.19, and
117.29. Air carriers are required to submit a report of exceeded flight
duty periods and flight times, including scheduled maximum and actual
flight duty periods and flight times, basic flight information (e.g.,
city pairs, departure times, flight number), and reason for exceedance.
The purpose for the reports is to notify the FAA that the certificate
holder has extended a flight time and/or FDP limitation. This
information enables FAA to monitor trends in exceedance and possible
underlying systemic causes requiring operator action as well as
determine whether operators are scheduling realistically. Additionally,
if air carriers choose to develop a Fatigue Risk Management System
(FRMS) under Sec. 117.7 they are required to collect data specific to
the need of the operation for which they will seek an FRMS
authorization. It results in an annual recordkeeping and reporting
burden when carriers adopt the system because they need to report the
related activities to the FAA. Each air carrier is also required to
develop specific elements and incorporate these elements into their
training program (Sec. 117.9). Once the elements have been
incorporated, the air carrier must submit the revised training program
for approval.
Respondents: 47 Air Carriers.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Varies by Requirement.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 30,954 Hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on April 26, 2022.
Sandra L. Ray,
Aviation Safety Inspector, AFS-260.
