NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD
[Docket No.: NTSB-2021-0005, OMB Control No. 3147-0001]
Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request
AGENCY: National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
ACTION: 30-Day notice of information collection; submission to the
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) at the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995,
the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) offers the public and
Federal agencies the opportunity to comment regarding the NTSB's intent
to submit an Information Collection Request (ICR) seeking
reinstatement, with change, of a previously-approved information
collection (IC) for which approval for Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Control No. 3147-0001 has expired. The NTSB's 60-Day Notice,
soliciting comments on the IC was published on May 4, 2021, and the
NTSB has since revised the form in response to comments received as a
result. The NTSB is issuing this 30-Day Notice, informing the public
and Federal agencies to submit comments directly to the Office of
Information & Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) regarding this ICR.
DATES: Submit comments to OIRA regarding this proposed collection of
information by January 11, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Send comments directly to OIRA within 30 days of the
publication of this Notice to <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William (Tom) McMurry, Jr., General
Counsel, (202) 314-6080, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f381869f969e92989a9d94b39d878091dd949c85"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6012150c050d010b090e07200e1413024e070f16">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NTSB issues Form 6120.1: Pilot/Operator
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report to a surviving pilot or operator
involved in an aircraft accident or serious incident that the agency
intends to investigate. The OMB control number (3147-0001) associated
with this form has since expired. Because the agency wishes to continue
using the form with revisions, the NTSB plans to submit an ICR seeking
reinstatement, with change, of a previously-approved collection for
which approval has expired.
As a result of the 60-Day Notice published on May 4, 2021, in the
Federal Register, the NTSB has further revised the 6120.1 Form in
response to comments received. The NTSB's responses to comments and the
additional changes to the form have been submitted as an ICR package to
OIRA for review.
This IC is necessary because the NTSB is statutorily required to
promulgate regulations governing the notification and reporting of
civil aircraft accidents; to investigate, determine, and report on the
probable cause of each accident; and to make safety recommendations to
prevent similar accidents from occurring in the future. 49 U.S.C. 1131,
1132. In coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),
the NTSB is also required to classify accident and safety data and
publish such data on a periodic basis. 49 U.S.C. 1119. To fulfill these
statutory obligations, the agency
[[Page 86161]]
must obtain detailed information about the pilot, crew, aircraft, and
other circumstances related to an accident or incident at the start of
each NTSB investigation. This information allows the agency to: (1)
determine the appropriate course of action in an investigation; (2)
make safety recommendations and facilitate safety improvements in the
aviation industry; and (3) classify and publish accident and safety
data.
Because the NTSB is the only Federal agency charged with
investigating aircraft accidents and incidents, and has priority over
all other agencies in this role, the NTSB will be the only agency
distributing this accident and incident report form; thus, this NTSB
form is not duplicative of any other IC. While under 49 U.S.C. 1132(c),
the FAA participates in NTSB aircraft accident investigations and may
oversee some investigative activities on behalf of the NTSB, the NTSB's
priority over aircraft accident investigations ensures no duplicative
ICs from pilots or operators.
