DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Use of Certain
Personal Oxygen Concentrator (POC) Devices on Board Aircraft
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. A Special Federal Aviation Regulation requires passengers
who intend to use an approved POC to present a physician statement
before boarding. The flight crew must then inform the pilot-in-command
that a POC is on board.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by September 29, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by
email at: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120-0702.
Title: Use of Certain Personal Oxygen Concentrator (POC) Devices on
Board Aircraft.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this
collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: A pilot in command is required to be apprised when a
passenger brings a POC on board the aircraft, and passengers who have a
medical need to use a POC during flight are required to possess a
signed physician statement describing the oxygen therapy needed, to
determine whether an inflight diversion to an airport may be needed in
the event the passenger's POC fails to operate or the aircraft
experiences cabin pressurization difficulties, and to verify the need
for the device, the oxygen therapy needed to be provided by use of the
POC, and the oxygen needs of the passenger in case of emergency.
Respondents: Approximately 1,690,555 passengers.
Frequency: Information is collected as needed.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 6 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 169,046 hours.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Kathy
DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 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 July 28, 2014.
