Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on March 2, 2026; 91 FR 10181. The agency will summarize
comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information

In response to the increasing number of accidents and incidents
involving the Mitsubishi MU-2B series airplane, the FAA began a safety
evaluation of the MU-2B in July of 2005. As a result of this safety
evaluation, on February 6, 2008, the FAA issued Special Federal
Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 108--Mitsubishi MU-2B Series Special
Training, Experience, and Operating Requirements. This SFAR established
a standardized pilot training program. The collection of information is
necessary to document participation in, completion of, and compliance
with the pilot training program for the MU-2B under subpart N of part
91, issued on September 7, 2016, which superseded SFAR No. 108.
Respondents: Approximately 210 active MU-2 pilots, and
approximately 11 part 91 training providers.
Frequency: Every year (pilots); every two years (training
providers).
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Pilots: Logbook endorsement
and training course final phase check = 10 minutes. Training providers:
Submission of training program = 4 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: Pilots: 35 hours. Training
providers: 22 hours. Total: 57 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 14, 2026.
