Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on February 21, 2024 (89 FR 13133). The authority to
collect data from aircraft operators seeking operational approval to
conduct Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) operations is
contained in part 91, section 91.180, as established by a final rule
published in the Federal Register on October 27, 2003 (68 FR 61304) and
[[Page 74356]]
in Part 91, Section 91.706, as established by a final rule published
April 9, 1997 (62 FR 17487, Apr 9, 1997). Aircraft operators seeking
specific operational approval to conduct RVSM operations outside the
U.S. must submit their application to the responsible Flight Standards
office. The responsible Flight Standards office registers RVSM approved
airframes in the FAA RVSM Approvals Database to track the approval
status for operator airframes. Application information includes
evidence of aircraft equipment and RVSM qualification information along
with operational training and program elements.
Respondents: Operators are required to submit application for RVSM
specific approval if they desire to operate in RVSM airspace outside
the U.S. or if they do not meet the provisions of title 14 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 91, appendix G, section 9--
Aircraft Equipped with Automatic Dependent Surveillance--Broadcast Out.
The FAA estimates processing 900 initial applications annually and
2,136 annual updates to existing approvals.
Frequency: An Operator must make application for initial specific
approval to operate in RVSM airspace, or whenever requesting an update
to an existing approval.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 4.00 hours for updates to
existing applications and 6.8 hours for application of initial
approvals.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 14,664 hours.
Issued in District of Columbia on September 6, 2024.
