Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Automatic
Dependent Surveillance--Broadcast (ADS-B) Out Performance Requirements
To Support Air Traffic Control (ATC) Service
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 renew an information
collection. The final rule titled ``Automatic Dependent Surveillance--
Broadcast (ADS-B) Equipage Mandate To Support Air Traffic Control
Service'' (75 FR 30160) requires performance requirements for certain
avionics equipment on aircraft operating in specified classes of
airspace within the United States National Airspace System. The rule
facilitates the use of ADS-B for aircraft surveillance by FAA air
traffic controllers to accommodate the expected increase in demand for
air transportation.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by June 18, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by
email at: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120-0728.
Title: Automatic Dependent Surveillance--Broadcast (ADS-B) Out
Performance Requirements to Support Air Traffic Control (ATC) Service.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this
collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: 14 CFR part 91 includes requirements for certain
avionics equipment on aircraft operating in specified airspace within
the United States National Airspace System (NAS). This collection
supports the information needs of the FAA by requiring avionics
equipment that continuously transmits aircraft information to be
received by the FAA, via automation, for use in providing air traffic
surveillance services. This information is collected electronically
without input from the human operator. Old information is overwritten
on a continuous basis. A 1-hour burden is submitted as a placeholder to
allow entry in OMB's burden inventory.
Respondents: Approximately 64,339 aircraft operators will install
ADS-B Out equipment.
Frequency: Information is collected automatically via the ADS-B Out
equipment.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1 hour (placeholder for
automated collection).
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1 hour (placeholder for automated
collection).
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Kathy
DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation Administration, AES-200, 6500 S.
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169.
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.
Issued in Washington, DC on April 15, 2013.
