Agency Information Collection
Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a New Approval of
Information Collection: International
Role of the Federal Aviation
Administration
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
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 for a new information
collection. The collection involves
questioning, via email, telephone or
other means, foreign entities to
determine what collaborative
opportunities exist. The information to
be collected is necessary to accomplish
the statutory requirements to ‘‘provide
technical assistance on any other aspect
of aviation safety that the Administrator
determines is likely to enhance
international aviation safety.’’ The
information collection will also inform
the FAA’s International Strategy, which
is the agency’s mechanism for fulfilling
its international role. The information
collection directly supports the
International Strategy by enabling the
FAA to reshape and further strengthen
its longstanding international
contributions.
SUMMARY:
Written comments should be
submitted by April 11, 2023.

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–XXXX.
Title: Agency Information Collection
Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a New Approval of
Information Collection: International
Role of the Federal Aviation
Administration.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Clearance of a new
information collection.
Background: 49 U.S.C. 40104 requires
‘‘the Administrator to promote and
achieve global improvements in the
safety, efficiency, and environmental
effect of air travel by engaging with
foreign counterparts, in the
International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) and its subsidiary
organizations, and other international
organizations and fora, and with the
private sector.’’ The statute further
requires the Administrator to engage
bilaterally and multilaterally on an
ongoing basis to bolster international
collaboration and to harmonize
international aviation safety
requirements, and to expand the
technical assistance provided by the
FAA in support of enhancing
international aviation safety.
This information collection
specifically facilitates work and training
arrangements with foreign counterparts,
ICAO and its subsidiary organizations,
other international organizations and
fora, and with private entities around
the world; it identifies opportunities
and unexpected changes; and it
ultimately contributes to the fulfillment
of the FAA’s mission to provide the
safest, most efficient aerospace system
in the world.
Foreign affairs specialists assigned to
the FAA Office of International Affairs

will collect information from
respondents (foreign counterparts, ICAO
and its subsidiary organizations, other
international organizations and fora, or
from private foreign entities) verbally,
in-person or telephonically, or in
writing via letter, email, or other
electronic means.
Respondents: 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.
Frequency: The FAA estimates this
collection of information would result
in approximately twenty instances of
international technical assistance per
year.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Given unique requirements
the FAA and respondents may have,
and the ongoing dialog necessary to
conduct work with foreign entities, the
FAA estimates a cumulative burden of
approximately 4 hours per response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: We
estimate 20 responses per year at an
average of 4 hours per response, for a
total annual hourly burden of 80 hours.
We found that these activities are
typically performed by the respondents’
equivalent to a FAA foreign affairs
specialist, for which the FAA assumes
a mid-grade GS–13 salary, Rest of USA
locality. Annual salary is $106,955,
divided by 2,080 hours for an hourly
rate of $51.42. The FAA uses a fringe
benefits and overhead cost, for FAA
employees, of 100%. This results in a
fully loaded wage of $102.84 per hour.
The total hourly burden of 80
multiplied by the fully loaded hourly
rate of $102.84 results in an annual
economic burden of $8,227.20.
Issued in Washington, DC, on February 7,
2023.
