Abstract
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection request (ICR). The collection involves the voluntary submission of information gained through the Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) Program. FOQA is a voluntary safety program designed to improve aviation safety through the proactive use of flight-recorded data. The information collected will allow operators to use this data to identify and correct deficiencies in all areas of flight operations. A Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on January 28, 2026. This 30-day notice is concurrent with submitting the information collection renewal request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Comments received on this notice will be seen by OMB and the FAA as the requesting agency.
