Abstract
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The Federal Aviation Administration Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016 (FESSA) was enacted on July 15, 2016. Section 2307 of FESSA, Medical Certification of Certain Small Aircraft Pilots, directed the FAA to "issue or revise regulations to ensure that an individual may operate as pilot in command of a covered aircraft" without having to undergo the medical certification process prescribed by FAA regulations if the pilot and aircraft meet certain prescribed conditions as outlined in FESSA. This collection enables those eligible airmen to establish their eligibility with the FAA.

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)

collection.

Background: The FAA will use this information to determine that
individual pilots have met the requirements of section 2307 of Public

the vast majority of pilots conducting operations described in section
2307 of Public Law 114-190 must either hold a valid medical certificate
or be conducting operations using the requirements of section 2307 as
an alternative to holding a medical certificate.
The FAA published a final rule, Alternative Pilot Physical
Examination and Education Requirements, to implement the provisions of
section 2307, on January 11, 2017.
Respondents: Approximately 50,000 individuals.

four years.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 17,500 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on February 1, 2023.
