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 voluntary reporting of bird/other wildlife strike information following a wildlife strike incident with aircraft. This data becomes part of the publicly available National Wildlife Strike Database. Strike reports provide critical information that allows the FAA to determine high-risk species, track national trends, evaluate the FAA's wildlife hazard management program, and provide scientific foundation for regulatory guidance. Additionally, this essential information allows engine and airframe manufacturers to evaluate the effectiveness of aircraft components. It also helps airports identify and mitigate hazardous species and the location of wildlife attractants, affords a better understanding of strike dynamics, and provides key metrics for an airport to evaluate the effectiveness of its wildlife management program.

[Docket No. FAA-2023-0234]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Bird/Other
Wildlife Strike Report
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 voluntary reporting of bird/other
wildlife strike information following a wildlife strike incident with
aircraft. This data becomes part of the publicly available National
Wildlife Strike Database. Strike reports provide critical information
that allows the FAA to determine high-risk species, track national
trends, evaluate the FAA's wildlife hazard management program, and
provide scientific foundation for regulatory guidance. Additionally,
this essential information allows engine and airframe manufacturers to
evaluate the effectiveness of aircraft components. It also helps
airports identify and mitigate hazardous species and the location of
wildlife attractants, affords a better understanding of strike
dynamics, and provides key metrics for an airport to evaluate the
effectiveness of its wildlife management program.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by April 3, 2023.

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: 2120-0045.
Title: Bird/Other Wildlife Strike Report.
Form Numbers: 5200-7.
Type of Review: This is a renewal of an information collection.
Background: 14 CFR 139.337, Wildlife Hazard Management, requires
the FAA to collect wildlife strike data to develop standards and
monitor hazards to aviation. Data identify wildlife strike control
requirements and provide in-service data on aircraft component failure.
Pilots, airport operations staff, aircraft and airport maintenance
personnel, air traffic controllers, wildlife biologists, and anyone
else having knowledge of a strike can report incidents to the FAA,
primarily using the online version of FAA Form 5200-7. The data becomes
part of the publicly available National Wildlife Strike Database used
to enhance safety by airports, airlines, engine and airframe
manufacturers, and the FAA. Overall, the number of strikes annually
reported to the FAA has increased from 1,850 in 1990 to more than
15,556 in 2021.
Respondents: Approximately 14,868 pilots, airport operations staff,
aircraft and airport maintenance personnel, air traffic controllers,
wildlife biologists, and others with knowledge of a strike.
Frequency: As needed.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,239 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on January 26, 2023.

National Wildlife Biologist, Airport Safety and Operations Division,
