Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Reinstate Approval of Information Collection: Aviation 
Insurance

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to reinstate an information 
collection. The collection involves obtaining basic information from 
new aviation insurance applicants about eligible aviation insurance 
applicants needed to establish a legally binding, non-premium insurance 
policy with the FAA, as requested by another Federal agency, such as 
the applicants name and address, and the aircraft to be covered by the 
policy. The information collected will be used to determine whether 
applicants are eligible for Chapter 443 insurance and the amount of 
coverage necessary; populate non-premium insurance policies with the 
legal name and address; and meet conditions of coverage required by 
each insurance policy.
    As a condition of coverage, air carriers will be required to submit 
any changes to the basic information initially submitted on the 
application, as necessary. Air carrier's will also be responsible for 
providing a copy of their current commercial insurance policy on an 
ongoing basis, and aircraft registration and serial numbers for any new 
aircraft the air carrier would like to add to the policy. This 
information will form part of a legally binding agreement (i.e. 
insurance policy) between the FAA and air carrier. Failure to provide 
this updated information could result in lack or denial of coverage.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by August 6, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Barbara 
Hall, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, 
Fort Worth, TX 76177

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Barbara Hall by email at:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Comments Invited: You are asked to 
comment on any aspect of this information collection, including (a) 
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for FAA's 
performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA 
to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information 
collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be minimized without 
reducing the quality of the collected information. The agency will 
summarize and/or include your comments in the request for OMB's 
clearance of this information collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0514.
    Title: Aviation Insurance.
    Form Numbers: 2120-0514.
    Type of Review: Reinstate an information collection.
    Background: Title 49 U.S.C. 44305 authorizes the Administrator of 
the Federal Aviation Administration, acting pursuant to a delegation of 
authority from the Secretary of Transportation, to provide aviation 
insurance at the request of another Federal agency, without premium, 
provided that the head of the Federal agency agrees to indemnify the 
FAA from loss.
    The FAA Non-Premium Aviation War Risk Insurance Program offers war 
risk coverage, without premium, to air carriers at the request of DoD 
and other Federal agencies. DoD and other Federal agencies rely on the 
FAA to provide aviation war risk insurance to contracted air carriers 
supporting mission objectives and operations that is not available 
commercially on reasonable terms and conditions. Air carriers never 
insured under the FAA Non-Premium War Risk Insurance Program must 
submit an application before the FAA can provide coverage.
    Respondents: The FAA currently insure 31 U.S. air carriers through 
its Non-Premium Aviation Insurance Program at the request of other 
Federal agencies. We estimate the addition of one new air carrier to 
the program each year. In addition, air carriers insured will be 
required to provide and update information on an ongoing basis as a 
condition of insurance coverage and to remain eligible for insurance 
policy renewals.
    Frequency: The initial application for insurance is required only 
from air carriers that have not previously received aviation insurance 
from the FAA. We estimate one new air carrier will need to submit an 
application annually; 6 insured air carriers will need to update basic 
information submitted on their initial application, such as business 
name and/or address, annually; 31 insured air carriers will be required 
to provide one commercial insurance policy to the FAA annually by 
uploading an electronic image into the FAA's Aviation Insurance Data 
Management System (AIDMS) annually; and 31 insured air carriers will 
need to update their Schedule of Aircraft with aircraft registration 
data adding and removing a total of 550 aircraft to or from AIDMS, 
annually.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Initial Application--4 
hours; Commercial Policy Submission--10 minutes; Business Information 
Update--5 minutes; and Aircraft Schedule Update--2 minutes per 
aircraft.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 28 hours.
