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 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. The information to be collected is necessary because it provides critical information that allows the FAA to determine high-risk species, track national trends, evaluate the FAA's wildlife hazard management program, and monitor compliance with Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 139, Section 139.337--Wildlife Hazard Management. 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-2025-2317]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a New or 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 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. The information to be collected is necessary
because it provides critical information that allows the FAA to
determine high-risk species, track national trends, evaluate the FAA's
wildlife hazard management program, and monitor compliance with Title
14 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 139, Section 139.337--Wildlife
Hazard Management. 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 November 24, 2025.

ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.

Database used to enhance safety by airports, airlines, engine and
airframe manufacturers, and the FAA.
