established by the Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA),
mandates that air carriers who have been issued a part 119 air carrier
certificate and are authorized to conduct operations under Title 14 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 121 or part 135 as well
as part 125 and 135 operators, request and receive FAA records, air
carrier and other operator records, and the National Driver Register
records before allowing an individual to begin service as a pilot.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by December 12, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ronda
Thompson, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 800 Independence

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.

Background: Title 49 United States Code (49 U.S.C.) 44703(h):
Records of Employment of Pilot Applicants, which was established by the
Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA), mandates that air
carriers who have been issued a part 119 air carrier certificate and
are authorized to conduct operations under Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 121 or part 135 as well as part 125
and 135 operators, request and receive FAA records, air carrier and
other operator records, and the National Driver Register records before
allowing an individual to begin service as a pilot. Additionally,
fractional ownerships operating in accordance with subpart K of part 91
are required to complete a pilot safety background check before
allowing an individual to begin service as a pilot (reference Sec.
91.1051). Furthermore, air tour operators operating in accordance with
Sec. 91.147 are required to obtain an individual's previous drug and/
or alcohol testing records before allowing an individual to begin
service as a pilot. All requestors are heretofore referred to as ``air
carriers.'' The FAA is also deploying a web-based online application
called the Pilot Records Database (PRD) in December 2016 that is
expected to benefit hiring air carriers, operators, and pilots required
to comply with PRIA. This application automates the current PRIA
process and provides an air carrier with immediate access to a
consenting pilot's FAA records.
Respondents: Approximately 14,974.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2.5 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 37,432 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on October 6, 2016.

FAA Information Collection Clearance Officer, Performance, Policy, and
