Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on March 25, 2024 (89 FR 20749). The Pilot Records
Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA) as amended, was enacted to ensure that
part 121, 125 and 135 air carriers and air operators adequately
investigate a pilot's background before allowing that pilot to conduct
commercial air carrier flights for their company. Under PRIA, a hiring
employer cannot place a pilot into service until they obtain, review
and approve the pilot's background and other safety-related records for
the past 5 year period as specified in PRIA. The FAA information
disclosed under PRIA are medical and airman certificate verifications
and any closed enforcement and revocation data. The air carrier
information disclosed under PRIA are those concerning pilot performance
and training, disciplinary and removal from service, and drug and
alcohol testing records. Records from the Department of Motor Vehicles
of any particular State would include records of drug and alcohol
convictions. Other records collections such as financial statements,
fingerprints and failed check rides may be requested and received but
they are outside the purview and scope of PRIA and would be requested
using other vehicles than the PRIA forms. PRIA request forms can be
received by fax or mail; however, the most common method is by email
attachment, one pilot/applicant per one form. As set forth in 49 U.S.C.
44703(i)(1), under the Pilot Records Database (PRD), a hiring employer
cannot place a pilot into service until the employer has evaluate all
the relevant information in the PRD. PRD relies on a digital and
centralized repository containing the pilot information. It also
expands on the types of operators that must participate in the sharing
of information than that of PRIA. The following official FAA-Records
about a pilot are collected; airman certificates and associated
ratings, accident and incident information, enforcement information,
and drug and alcohol testing. There is also industry collected
information about pilots which include; training, qualification, and
proficiency Records, final disciplinary records, employment history,
and the Motor Vehicle Driving record evaluation date. The PRD
facilitates the sharing of pilot records among pilot employers in a
clearinghouse managed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In
accordance with part 111, all 14 CFR part 121, 125, 135 certificate
holders, 91K operators, air tour operators, and other specific entities
operating under part 91 are required to access the PRD to either
evaluate a pilot candidate prior to making a hiring decision or to
report records. The PRD contains employer and FAA records on an
individual's performance as a pilot for the life of the individual.
Records contained within the database would only be permitted to be
used as a hiring aid in an operator's decision-making process for pilot
employment. The pilot has full control of who they release their PRD
information to and for how long. Disclosure of their information can
only be initiated by the pilot.
Respondents:
Regarding PRIA, the PRIA representative at each part 121, 125 and
135 air carrier is responsible for completing, forwarding, receiving
and providing the air carrier with the completed PRIA report so the air
carrier can make a more informed hiring decision concerning each pilot/
applicant. One complete PRIA package is required for every pilot/
applicant. As of December 7, 2021, the FAA no longer processes PRIA
requests via Form 8060-10, as this function became available through
PRD. Prior to December 7, 2021, the FAA processes approximately 24,120
PRIA packages per year from respondents.
Regarding PRD, the PRD representative at each certificate holder
operating under part 121, 125, 135, 91K operators, air tour operators,
and other specific entities operating under part 91 is responsible for
completing and submitting the PRD employer records to PRD, for each
pilot, through the Web based forms or API. Pilots who hold commercial,
airline transport, or remote pilot certificates can access PRD and
complete web-based forms concerning Employment History records
reporting (#8) and Pilot Consent form (#10). If the pilot is unable to
access the PRD, the pilot can submit hardcopies of FAA Forms 8060-14
and 8060-15 to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#dbaba9bfa8aeababb4a9af9bbdbabaf5bcb4ad"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="addddfc9ded8ddddc2dfd9edcbcccc83cac2db">[email protected]</span></a> for processing by the FAA on their
behalf. The FAA processes approximately 1,040 FAA forms 8060-14 and ten
FAA forms 8060-15 per year from respondents.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 0.07181 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 385,367.92 hours.
Issued in Oklahoma City, OK, on June 25, 2024.
