the requirements have changed, but
operator data have changed. The overall
number of operators has decreased.
Additionally, the number of large
operators (to which we attribute a
higher hourly burden) has increased and
the number of small operators (to which
we attribute a lower hourly burden) has
decreased. Therefore, in the aggregate,
the average hourly burden increased
from six (6) hours to eleven (11) hours
per operator.
The AMOA commented that they
strongly supported the intent of the data
collection requirement, but also noted
that the original collection requirement
should have been the subject of notice
and comment rulemaking. The FAA
notes, as indicated in the August 12,
2013 Requests for Comments; Clearance
of a New Approval of Information
Collection: Helicopter Air Ambulance
Operator Reports (78 FR 48925), that
prior to issuance of the first information
collection notice, representatives from
the Flight Standards Service, Office of
Accident Investigation and Prevention,
and the Office of the Chief Counsel met
with representatives from AMOA to
discuss the FAA’s approach to this data
collection. Meetings were held on
October 15, 2012 and May 17, 2013. On
June 28, 2013 AMOA submitted a
response to the FAA discussing its view
of the method to collect the data being
pursued by the FAA. A copy of that
letter was placed in the docket (FAA–
2013–0684) and was considered by the
agency.
AMOA also commented that the FAA
has underestimated the hourly burden
for both large and small operators.
Although AMOA did not provide any
specific data to support its comment, in
response the FAA has increased the
estimates of hourly burden for both
large and small operators in this notice
and request for comments.
AMOA also requested information
from the FAA’s Office of Accident
Investigation and Prevention and
commented on the FAA’s
implementation of certain provisions of
the FAA Modernization and Reform Act
of 2012, which are both beyond the
scope of this clearance of a renewed
approval of information collection.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by February 20, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget. Comments should be addressed

Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collection of information was published
on November 3, 2017 (82 FR 51331).
The FAA Modernization and Reform
Act of 2012 (The Act) mandates that all
helicopter air ambulance operators must
begin reporting the number of flights
and hours flown, along with other
specified information, during which
helicopters operated by the certificate
holder were providing helicopter air
ambulance services. See Public Law
112–95, Sec. 306, 49 U.S.C. 44731. The
FAA Administrator had 180 days to
develop a methodology to collect and
store those data. The Act further
mandates that not later than 2 years
after the date of enactment, and
annually thereafter, the Administrator
shall submit to the Committee on
Transportation and Infrastructure of the
House of Representatives and the
Committee on Commerce, Science, and
Transportation of the Senate, a report
containing a summary of the data
collected.
The helicopter air ambulance
operational data provided to the FAA
will be used by the agency as
background information useful in the
development of risk mitigation
strategies to reduce the helicopter air
ambulance accident rate, and to meet
