providing notice of its intent to establish
a new collection of information,
Alternative Pilot Physical Examination
and Education Requirements (OMB
control number 2120–XXXX), to reflect
the burden associated with the
requirements of section 2307.
In a separate notice, the FAA is
providing notice of its intent to reduce
the burden associated with the existing
information collection, Medical
Standards and Certification (OMB
control number 2120–0034) by the
population anticipated to use the
provisions of section 2307.
