ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
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 renew an information
collection. The collection involves
planned routes of flight and aircraft
avionics equipment. The information
that is collected will be used to predict
whether an aircraft flying the proposed
route of flight will have sufficient
position accuracy and integrity for the
following: (1) Navigation, via the
Receiver Autonomous Integrity
Monitoring (RAIM) SAPT; (2)
Surveillance, via the Automatic
Dependent Surveillance—Broadcast
(ADS–B) SAPT. In addition, the website
will allow operators to request

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: 2120–0780.
Title: Service Availability Prediction
Tool (SAPT).
Form Numbers: eXtensible markup
language (XML) format, ADS–B SAPT
flight information entry form, and ADS–
B authorization request at https://
sapt.faa.gov.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background:
Under 14 CFR 91.103, pilots must use
all available information in planning
their flight. SAPT is a web-based tool to
assist aircraft operators in achieving
compliance with the requirements of 14
CFR 91.103, 91.225. and 91.227, and/or
AC 90–100A Change 2, Paragraph 10a.
(5). To ensure that they will meet the
performance requirements for the
PO 00000
Frm 00121
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
duration of the flight, pilots may use the
FAA-provided pre-flight Service
Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT) to
determine predicted navigation or
surveillance availability before a flight.
The SAPT has three main components:
the Receiver Autonomous Integrity
Monitoring (RAIM) SAPT, the ADS–B
SAPT, and the ADS–B Deviation
Authorization Pre-Flight Tool (ADAPT).
The SAPT models the GPS constellation
in order to assess the predicted accuracy
and integrity of GPS position
information used in navigation and
surveillance for a few GPS receiver
Technical Standard Orders (TSOs).
The RAIM SAPT is intended mainly
for pilots, dispatchers, and commercial
operators using TSO–C129 equipment to
check their predicted navigation
horizontal protection level (HPL). It
incorporates TSO–C129 GPS RAIM
predictions to check the availability of
GPS RAIM satisfying the RNAV
requirements of AC 90–100A Change 2,
Paragraph 10(5)).
The ADS–B SAPT is provided to help
operators comply with 14 CFR 91.225
and 91.227 by predicting whether
operators will meet regulatory
requirements, and to advise holders of
FAA Exemption 12555 whether back-up
surveillance will be available for any
waypoints where installed aircraft
avionics are not predicted to meet the
requirements of 14 CFR 91.227(c)(1)(i)
and (iii).
Information collected via ADS–B
SAPT is comparable to that provided by
pilots when they file flight plans, with
some additional information about
aircraft position source TSO and related
capabilities. The ADS–B SAPT
prediction is based on the ability of the
aircraft’s position source (i.e., GPS
receiver) to meet performance
requirements specified in FAA TSOs
C129, C129a, C145c/C146c, and C196,
as well as the predicted status of the
GPS constellation.
The ADS–B SAPT predicts whether
GPS position information will be
sufficient throughout the flight to meet
the performance requirements of 14 CFR
91.227(c)(1)(i) and (iii). If a waypoint is
in rule airspace and the aircraft’s
position source is not predicted to meet
the performance requirements of 14 CFR
91.227, the ADS–B SAPT checks for the
availability of back-up surveillance at
that waypoint.
Operators of aircraft equipped with
TSO–C129 (SA-On) GPS receivers must
run a pre-flight prediction. The operator
may use their own prediction tool.
Although Exemption 12555 does not
require operators with SA-On to use the
ADS–B SAPT for pre-flight availability
prediction, if the operator does use their
E:\FR\FM\26SEN1.SGM
26SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 185 / Monday, September 26, 2022 / Notices
own tool and receives an indication that
performance will fall below rule
requirements, the operator cannot
obtain back-up surveillance information
from that tool and must either replan
the flight or use ADS–B SAPT to
determine whether back-up surveillance
is available along the planned route of
flight per Exemption 12555.
ADAPT is mandatory for operators
desiring to apply for an ATC
authorization, per 14 CFR 91.225(g), to
fly in ADS–B Out rule airspace using
aircraft with avionics that do not meet
the ADS–B equipage requirements.
ADAPT allows operators to create an air
traffic authorization request to operate
in ADS–B Out rule airspace when either
(1) the aircraft is without ADS–B
equipment; (2) that equipment is
inoperative; or (3) their avionics are not
expected to meet the ADS–B
performance requirements as identified
in 14 CFR 91.227(c)(1)(i) and (iii).
Operators who wish to submit an
ADAPT request must complete the
ADS–B SAPT analysis using
information entered into the flight
information entry form before filing the
ADAPT request.
Information Collected: Information
collected by SAPT is comparable to that
provided in FAA flight plans, with some
additional information about the
position source. The ADS–B SAPT flight
information entry form requires the
aircraft call-sign but does not collect
other personal identification
information about the operator. ADAPT
does collect personal information to
include name, telephone number, email
address. The information is necessary to
enable the FAA ATC Authorization
Authority (AAA) to reply with either an
approval, rejection, or pending decision.
It also collects additional information
about the flight, including US Civil
Aircraft Registry Number or ICAO
Address.
Respondents: These prediction tools
are primarily intended for pilots and
dispatchers; and for anyone who is
planning a flight which passes through
U.S. sovereign airspace, using an aircraft
whose GPS receiver(s) is/are not
guaranteed to meet certain performance
requirements or whose aircraft is not
equipped to meet the requirements of 14
CFR 91.225.
Frequency: As part of the flight
planning process, as required by FAA
policy. For some users, this could be
every flight. For others it will depend on
the specific conditions and performance
requirements.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response:
RAIM SAPT and ADS–B SAPT can be
automated as part of the dispatch

process by operators or flight service
providers, thus eliminating manual
data-entry.
RAIM SAPT—Insignificant, as all
transactions are automated in flight
planning systems.
ADS–B SAPT—5 minutes or less for

up to 2 minutes to check FAA email
response).
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
200 hours for software maintenance
for automated responses.
RAIM SAPT—Insignificant additional
burden
ADS–B SAPT—Approximately
163,500 minutes.
ADAPT—Approximately 54,720
minutes.
