SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Part 139 establishes certification
requirements for airports serving scheduled passenger-carrying
operations of an air carrier operating aircraft configured for more
than 9 passenger seats, as determined by the regulations under which
the operation is conducted or the aircraft type certificate issued by a
competent civil aviation authority; and unscheduled passenger-carrying
operations of an air carrier operating aircraft configured for at least
31 passenger seats, as determined by the regulations under which the
operation is conducted or the aircraft type certificate issued by a
competent civil aviation authority.
This part does not apply to: Airports serving scheduled air carrier
operations only by reason of being designated as an alternate airport;
airports operated by the United States; airports located in the State
of Alaska that only serve scheduled operations of small air carrier
aircraft and do not serve scheduled or unscheduled operations of large
air carrier aircraft; airports located in the State of Alaska during
periods of time when not serving operations of large air carrier
aircraft; or heliports.
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.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0675.
Title: Certification of Airports, Part 139.
Form Numbers: FAA Form 5280-1.
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 7, 2021 (86 FR 69350).
The statutory authority to issue airport operating certificates to
airports serving certain air carriers and to establish minimum safety
standards for the operation of those airports is currently found in
Title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.) Sec. 44706, Airport operation
certificates. The FAA uses this authority to issue requirements for the
certification and operation of certain airports that service commercial
air carriers. These requirements are contained in Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulation Part 139 (14 CFR part 139), Certification and
Operations: Land Airports Serving Certain Air Carriers, as amended.
Information collection requirements are used by the FAA to determine an
airport operator's compliance with Part 139 safety and operational
requirements, and to assist airport personnel to perform duties
required under the regulation.
Operators of certificated airports are required to complete FAA
Form 5280-1 and develop, and comply with, a written document, an
Airport Certification Manual (ACM) that details how an airport will
comply with the requirements of Part 139. The ACM shows the means and
procedures whereby the airport will be operated in compliance with Part
139, plus other instructions and procedures to help personnel concerned
with operation of the airport to perform their duties and
responsibilities.
When an airport satisfactorily complies with such requirements, the
FAA issues to that facility an airport operating certificate (AOC) that
permits an airport to serve air carriers. The FAA periodically inspects
these airports to ensure continued compliance with Part 139 safety
requirements, including the maintenance of specified records. Both the
application for an AOC and annual compliance inspections require
operators of certificated airports to collect and report certain
operational information. The AOC remains in effect as long as the need
exists and the operator complies with the terms of the AOC and the ACM.
The likely respondents to new information requests are those
civilian U.S. airport certificate holders who operate airports that
serve scheduled and unscheduled operations of air carrier aircraft with
more than 9 passenger seats (approximately 520 airports). These airport
operators already hold an AOC and comply with all current information
collection requirements.
Operators of certificated airports are permitted to choose the
methodology to report information and can design their own
recordkeeping system. As airports vary in size, operations and
complexities, the FAA has determined this method of information
collection allows airport operators greater flexibility and convenience
to comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements. 100% of the
information may be submitted electronically.
The FAA has an automated system, the Certification and Compliance
Management Information System (CCMIS), which allows FAA airport safety
and certification inspectors to enter into a national database airport
inspection information. This information is monitored to detect trends
and developing safety issues, to allocate inspection resources, and
generally, to be more responsive to the needs of regulated airports.
The FAA has developed an automated reporting tool, the Airport
Crisis Response Reporting (ACRR) tool, which allows airport personnel
to directly input status of their airports after an incident, or
emergency event, impacts their airport or the surrounding area.
Respondents: Approximately 520 airports.
Frequency: Information collected on occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 291 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 130,464 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on this date, May 12, 2022.

Manager, Airport Safety and Operations (AAS-300).
