ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations, the FAA invites
public comments about our intention to request OMB approval to revise
an existing information collection. The information collected is used
to determine if applicants are medically qualified to perform the
duties associated with the class of airman medical certificate sought.
The FAA intends to revise the information it is collecting via FAA form
8500-8, in part, to respond to recommendations made in an April 2014
General Services Administration report entitled ``FAA Should Improve
Usability of its Online Application System and Clarity of the Pilot's
Medical Form.''
DATES: Comments should be submitted by August 21, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ronda
Thompson, Room 300, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 950
L'Enfant Plaza SW., Washington, DC 20024.
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.
The FAA is seeking comments only with regard to the burden
associated with the information collection activity under OMB Control
Number 2120-0034. As such, any comments received that cite this notice
but are outside of the scope of the collection activity under OMB
Control Number 2120-0034 will not be addressed.
