Abstract: The Forest Service contracts
with approximately 400 vendors a year
for commercial aviation services
utilized in resource protection and
project management. In recent years, the
total annual use of contract aircraft and
pilots has exceeded 80,000 hours. In
order to maintain an acceptable level of
safety, preparedness, and costeffectiveness in aviation operations,
Forest Service contracts include
rigorous qualifications for pilots and
specific condition, equipment, and
performance requirements for aircraft as
aviation operations are conducted under
extremely adverse conditions of
weather, terrain, turbulence, smoke
reduced visibility, minimally improved
landing areas, and congested airspace
around wildfires. To ensure agency
contracting officers that pilots and
aircraft used for aviation operations
meet specific Forest Service
qualifications and requirements for
aviation operations, prospective
contract pilots fill out one of the
following Forest Service forms:
• FS–5700–20—Airplane Pilot
Qualifications and Approval Record.
• FS–5700–20a—Helicopter Pilot
Qualifications and Approval Record.
Contract Officers’ Technical
Representatives use forms:
• FS–5700–21—Airplane Data
Record.
• FS–5700–21a—Helicopter Data
Record.
When inspecting the aircraft for
contract compliance. Based upon the
approval(s) documented on the form(s),
each contractor pilot and aircraft
receives an approval card. The Forest
Service personnel verify possession of
properly approved cards before using
contracted pilots and aircraft.
Information collected on these forms
includes:
• Name.
• Address.
• Certification numbers.
• Employment history.
• Medical Certification.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:52 Jul 27, 2011
Jkt 223001
• Airplane/helicopter certifications
and specifications.
• Accident/violation history.
Without the collected information,
Forest Service contracting officers, as
well as Forest Service pilot and aircraft
inspections, cannot determine if
contracted pilots and aircraft meet the
detailed qualification, equipment, and
condition requirements essential to safe
and effective accomplishment of Forest
Service specified flying missions.
Without a reasonable basis to
determine pilot qualifications and
aircraft capability, Forest Service
employees would be exposed to
hazardous conditions. The data
collected documents the approval of
contract pilots and aircraft for specific
Forest Service aviation missions.
Information will be collected and
reviewed by contracting officers or their
designated representatives, including
aircraft inspectors, to determine
whether the aircraft and/or pilot(s) meet
all contract specifications in accordance
with FS Handbook 5709.16, chapter 10,
sections 15 and 16. Forest Service pilot
and aircraft inspectors maintain the
collected information in Forest Service
regional offices. The Forest Service, at
times, shares the information with the
Department of the Interior, Aviation
Management Directorate, as each
organization accepts contract
inspections conducted by the other.

Type of Respondents: Vendors/
Contractors.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 2100.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.

of information is necessary for the stated
purposes and the proper performance of
the functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical or scientific utility; (2) the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
