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 February 1, 2023. 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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was
published on February 1, 2023. 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 June 20, 2023.
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--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

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.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0045.
Title: Bird/Other Wildlife Strike Report.
Form Numbers: FAA Form 5200-7.
Type of Review: This is a 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 February 1, 2023 (88 FR 6802). 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 (12,817 from the public) in 2021.
Respondents: Approximately 12,817 pilots, airport operations staff,
aircraft and airport maintenance personnel, wildlife biologists, and
others with knowledge of a strike.
Frequency: as needed.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,068 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 15, 2023.
