SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120–0039
Title: Operating Requirements:
Commuter and On-Demand Operation
Form Numbers: N/A.
Type of Review: This is a revision of
an existing information collection.
Background: The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collection of information was published
on June 14, 2018 (83 FR 27822). On June
27, 2018, the FAA published the final
rule Regulatory Relief, Aviation
Training devices; Pilot Certification,
Training, and Pilot Schools; and Other
Provisions (83 FR 30232). In that rule,
the FAA is amending § 135.99 by adding
paragraph (c) to allow a certificate
holder to receive approval of a secondin-command (SIC) professional
development program (SIC PDP) via
operations specifications (Ops Specs) to
allow the certificate holder’s pilots to
log SIC time in operations conducted
under part 135 in an airplane or
operation that does not otherwise
require a SIC. As explained in the rule,
the FAA believes that a comprehensive
SIC PDP will provide opportunities for
beneficial flight experience that may not
otherwise exist and also provide
increased safety in operations for those
flights conducted in a multicrew
environment. The FAA is establishing
requirements in § 135.99(c) for
certificate holders, airplanes, and
flightcrew members during operations
conducted under an approved SIC PDP.
Those changes are reflected in this
information collection.
The FAA is also changing certain
logging requirements to enable the
logging of SIC time obtained under a SIC
PDP. Those changes are reflected in a
revision to information collection 2120–
0021.
Respondents: Operators who
currently possess an FAA approved PIC
or SIC training program could revise
and utilize those existing programs to
qualify their pilots seeking approval to
log SIC time. Those operators that do
not already possess an approved PIC/

SIC training program (that must include
crew resource management training)
would be required to submit a proposed
new SIC training program for FAA
approval. This would be amending an
existing part 119 certificate. As of
September 28, 2017 the FAA estimates
that there were approximately 457 part
135 operators with single engine
turbine-powered airplanes or
multiengine airplanes that would
qualify or actually pursue the
authorization to conduct a SIC
professional development program.
The FAA estimates that
approximately 20 operators would be
required to submit a newly developed
SIC Professional Development Training
Program for approval in the first year
that the program is available. The FAA
estimates that 50 operators will request
an amendment to their existing PIC/SIC
training program. This time burden is
reflected in § 135.325, Training program
and revision.
Frequency: As needed.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Section 135.99(c) permits a
certificate holder to seek approval of an
SIC professional development program
via issuance of operations specifications
(Ops Specs) to allow the certificate
holder’s pilots to log SIC time. Under an
approved SIC professional development
program, pilots may log SIC time in part
135 operations conducted in
multiengine airplanes and single engine
turbine-powered airplanes that do not
otherwise require an SIC, if those pilots:
(1) Meet certification, training, and
qualification requirements for pilots in
part 135 operations, and (2) serve under
the supervision of a part 135 PIC who
meets certain experience requirements.
The FAA estimates that 20 operators
will take approximately 40 hours each
to develop and submit an acceptable
new SIC training program. This program
change will result in a burden increase
of 800 hours in the first year of
information collection only.
The FAA estimates that 50 operators
will take approximately 20 hours each
to revise and submit an acceptable SIC
training program. This program change
will result in a burden increase of 1,000
hours.
The new or revised SIC training
program will result in a burden of 1,800
total hours in the first year of
information collection.
In addition, the FAA has revised the
burden in section 135.325 to remove the
calculation of the burden for new
applicants (for initial approval of
training programs); this burden should
not be reflected in this collection as it
is already addressed in a previously
approved collection (2120–0593
PO 00000
Frm 00129
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Certification: Air Carriers and
Commercial Operators—FAR Part 119).
This change is necessary to avoid
double-counting the burden.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
overall burden for part 135 was
previously estimated at 1,154,674 hours.
With the removal of the initial
certification burden already accounted
for in the part 119 statement, addition
of the SIC training program
development and approval burden, the
total new annual reduced burden
estimate is 1,314,814 hours. This is a
reduction of 160,140 hours from the
previous estimate.
Issued in Washington, DC, on August 23,
2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120–0021.
Title: Certification: Pilots and Flight
Instructors.
Form Numbers: 8710–1, 8710–13.
Type of Review: This is a revision of
an existing information collection.
Background: The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collection of information was published
on June 14, 2018 (83 FR 27822). On June
27, 2018, the FAA published the final
rule Regulatory Relief, Aviation
Training devices; Pilot Certification,
Training, and Pilot Schools; and Other
Provisions (83 FR 30232). In that rule,
the FAA is reducing the burden for
instrument currency requirements
under § 61.57 for those pilots that use
aviation training devices. Prior to that
final rule, § 61.57(c)(3) required persons
using an aviation training device to
establish instrument experience to
complete the required tasks within the
preceding 2 calendar months. Persons
using an aircraft, full flight simulator,
flight training device, or a combination,
however, were required to establish
instrument experience within the
preceding 6 calendar months. 14 CFR
61.57(c)(1)–(2). The final rule amends
§ 61.57(c) to allow pilots to accomplish
instrument experience in aviation
training devices by performing the same
tasks required for flight simulation
training devices and aircraft, and at the
same 6-month interval allowed for flight
simulation training devices and aircraft.
The FAA estimates that, of the
102,811 active pilots with an instrument
rating, that approximately 50% are
maintaining currency. It is likely that
only 15% of those pilots (approximately
15,422 pilots) are using an aviation
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
training device exclusively to maintain
their instrument currency. For those
pilots, this change will reduce the
recordkeeping requirements of logging
time from 6 times a year to two times
a year, when logging instrument
currency exclusively in an aviation
training device. The FAA estimates this
burden reduction to be 6168.8 hours
annually.
Additionally, the final rule amends
§ 135.99 by adding paragraph (c) to
allow a certificate holder to receive
approval of a second in command (SIC)
professional development program (SIC
PDP) via operations specifications (Ops
Specs) to allow the certificate holder’s
pilots to log SIC time in operations
conducted under part 135 in an airplane
or operation that does not otherwise
require a SIC. Specifically, with this
final rule, § 61.159(c) allows pilots to
log SIC time in part 135 operations in
a single engine turbine-powered
airplane or a multi-engine airplane that
otherwise does not require an SIC. This
will require the pilot to obtain a logbook
endorsement from the pilot in command
for each individual flight to log this time
as SIC. The FAA estimates that of the
76,957 Commercial Pilots with airplane
and instrument privileges that
approximately 10% (7,696) may actively
pursue a SIC position with a Part 135
operator that is approved for logging SIC
time as described for this provision.
However, because of the limited number
of operators (approximately 457
operators as of September 28, 2017) that
would qualify or actually pursue this
authorization, the FAA estimates that
only 15% (1,154 pilots) might actually
become qualified annually to log SIC
time under this provision. This
additional record keeping requirement
will be reflected in Section 61.159,
Aeronautical experience. The FAA
estimates this SIC training program
burden increase is 1,154 hours annually.
Respondents: The total number of
respondents in the airman certification
program is estimated to be
approximately 25 percent of the
population of active certificated pilots
and instructors. Given a population of
825,000, the result is approximately
206,250 respondents providing data on
an annual basis. The total number of
applicants for a remote pilot certificate
with a small UAS rating is estimated to
be 39,229 annually.
Frequency: As needed.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: For the hour burdens
resulting from the application
requirements of the collection of
information other than remote pilots
with small UAS ratings, the FAA
estimates that forms are submitted for
PO 00000
Frm 00130

these certificates and ratings at an
average preparation time of 15 minutes
(0.25 hrs) each. The average time
estimate of 0.25 hours assumes that
many individual applicants will submit
an 8710–1 form more than once for
various reasons, and that most of the
information provided on the form likely
will not have changed. For Part 107 we
estimate that an average of 39,229 forms
are submitted annually that require an
average preparation time of 0.25 hours
to complete.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
total number of annual responses for the
airman certification program is
estimated to be 1,196,653. The FAA
estimates the total reporting burden
hours to be 43,157 hours. The FAA
estimates the total recordkeeping
burden hours to be 311,329 hours. The
FAA estimates the burden for the
collection of information to be 354,486
hours annually.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120-0021.
Title: Certification: Pilots and Flight Instructors.
Form Numbers: 8710-1, 8710-13.
Type of Review: This is a revision of an existing information
collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on June 14, 2018 (83 FR 27822). On June 27, 2018, the FAA
published the final rule Regulatory Relief, Aviation Training devices;
Pilot Certification, Training, and Pilot Schools; and Other Provisions
(83 FR 30232). In that rule, the FAA is reducing the burden for
instrument currency requirements under Sec. 61.57 for those pilots
that use aviation training devices. Prior to that final rule, Sec.
61.57(c)(3) required persons using an aviation training device to
establish instrument experience to complete the required tasks within
the preceding 2 calendar months. Persons using an aircraft, full flight
simulator, flight training device, or a combination, however, were
required to establish instrument experience within the preceding 6
calendar months. 14 CFR 61.57(c)(1)-(2). The final rule amends Sec.
61.57(c) to allow pilots to accomplish instrument experience in
aviation training devices by performing the same tasks required for
flight simulation training devices and aircraft, and at the same 6-
month interval allowed for flight simulation training devices and
aircraft.
The FAA estimates that, of the 102,811 active pilots with an
instrument rating, that approximately 50% are maintaining currency. It
is likely that only 15% of those pilots (approximately 15,422 pilots)
are using an aviation training device exclusively to maintain their
instrument currency. For those pilots, this change will reduce the
recordkeeping requirements of logging time from 6 times a year to two
times a year, when logging instrument currency exclusively in an
aviation training device. The FAA estimates this burden reduction to be
6168.8 hours annually.
Additionally, the final rule amends Sec. 135.99 by adding
paragraph (c) to allow a certificate holder to receive approval of a
second in command (SIC) professional development program (SIC PDP) via
operations specifications (Ops Specs) to allow the certificate holder's
pilots to log SIC time in operations conducted under part 135 in an
airplane or operation that does not otherwise require a SIC.
Specifically, with this final rule, Sec. 61.159(c) allows pilots to
log SIC time in part 135 operations in a single engine turbine-powered
airplane or a multi-engine airplane that otherwise does not require an
SIC. This will require the pilot to obtain a logbook endorsement from
the pilot in command for each individual flight to log this time as
SIC. The FAA estimates that of the 76,957 Commercial Pilots with
airplane and instrument privileges that approximately 10% (7,696) may
actively pursue a SIC position with a Part 135 operator that is
approved for logging SIC time as described for this provision. However,
because of the limited number of operators (approximately 457 operators
as of September 28, 2017) that would qualify or actually pursue this
authorization, the FAA estimates that only 15% (1,154 pilots) might
actually become qualified annually to log SIC time under this
provision. This additional record keeping requirement will be reflected
in Section 61.159, Aeronautical experience. The FAA estimates this SIC
training program burden increase is 1,154 hours annually.
Respondents: The total number of respondents in the airman
certification program is estimated to be approximately 25 percent of
the population of active certificated pilots and instructors. Given a
population of 825,000, the result is approximately 206,250 respondents
providing data on an annual basis. The total number of applicants for a
remote pilot certificate with a small UAS rating is estimated to be
39,229 annually.
Frequency: As needed.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: For the hour burdens
resulting from the application requirements of the collection of
information other than remote pilots with small UAS ratings, the FAA
estimates that forms are submitted for these certificates and ratings
at an average preparation time of 15 minutes (0.25 hrs) each. The
average time estimate of 0.25 hours assumes that many individual
applicants will submit an 8710-1 form more than once for various
reasons, and that most of the information provided on the form likely
will not have changed. For Part 107 we estimate that an average of
39,229 forms are submitted annually that require an average preparation
time of 0.25 hours to complete.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The total number of annual responses
for the airman certification program is estimated to be 1,196,653. The
FAA estimates the total reporting burden hours to be 43,157 hours. The
FAA estimates the total recordkeeping burden hours to be 311,329 hours.
The FAA estimates the burden for the collection of information to be
354,486 hours annually.
