The collection involves requirements which are necessary to ensure safety-of-flight by ensuring that complete and adequate training, testing, checking, and experience is obtained and maintained by those who operate under certain parts of FAA's regulations and use flight simulation in lieu of aircraft for these functions.

Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on June 2, 2026 (91 FR 33015). Title 49 U.S.C., Section
44702 empowers and requires the Secretary of Transportation to issue
operating certificates and to establish minimum safety standards for
the operation of air carriers and those to whom such certificates are
issued. Also, Title 49 U.S.C., Section 44701 empowers and requires the
Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to prescribe
standards applicable to the accomplishment of the mission of the FAA.
Sponsors who wish to maintain certified training centers are
mandated to report to this collection. This collection is necessary to
ensure that those who must comply with Title 14 CFR part 61, part 63,
part 91, part 121, part 135, part 141, and part 142 are able to provide
adequate crewmember training and qualification. This collection also
helps to ensure safety-of-flight by ensuring those who operate under
these parts of the regulation and use flight simulation in lieu of
aircraft for these functions, receive and maintain complete and
adequate training, testing, checking, and experience. The FAA will use
the information it collects and reviews to ensure compliance and
adherence to regulations and, where necessary, to take enforcement
action on violators of the regulations.
Respondents: 62 Flight Simulation Device Operators, 2 new annually.
Frequency: Annually.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Varies per Requirement.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 94,812 Hours.
