SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Supersonic passenger flight over land is currently restricted in
the U.S. and many countries because sonic booms have been known to
disturb people on the ground. There is a potential for a change in
federal and international regulations if supersonic flight can occur at
acceptably low noise levels. NASA is preparing a series of Community
Response Surveys coupled with research flights to gather data on the
public acceptability of low noise supersonic flight.
Prior to the Community Response Surveys, NASA will conduct a check
of the overall survey process without accompanying flights (Community
Response Survey Preparation). This is necessary to minimize the risk of
problems or errors with the actual Community Response Surveys, which
will involve coordinating efforts with preparing and scheduling flights
of the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology aircraft.
NASA has supported two prior field tests to evaluate data
collection methods for community response to low noise supersonic
flight; one test was at Edwards Air Force Base, California in 2011 and
the second was the Quiet Supersonic Flights 2018 (QSF18) study in
Galveston, Texas. The findings from these prior tests were not intended
for gathering data supporting regulatory changes but to provide lessons
learned in the survey methodology that will be employed in this study.
After the Community Response Survey Preparation, NASA plans to
conduct up to five Community Response Surveys in different areas of the
contiguous U.S. Each Community Response Survey will have a maximum of
113 responses (``activities'') per respondent, spread across a 30-day
period. Some responses are collected up to six times per day, while
other responses are collected once per day.
II. Methods of Collection
Participants from the public will receive mailings prompting them
to complete a web survey that will be available through a direct URL
and through a custom app that they will have the option of downloading
to their phone or mobile device.
III. Data

IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
NASA, including whether the information collected has practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of NASA's estimate of the burden (including
hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including automated collection techniques
or the use of other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and included in the request for OMB approval of this information
collection.
