DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Flight and
Duty Limitations and Rest Requirements--Flightcrew Members
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 collection involves reporting exceeded flight duty
periods and flight times, including scheduled maximum and actual flight
duty periods and flight times, basic flight information (e.g., city
pairs, departure times, flight number), and reason for exceedance.
Reporting and recordkeeping are required any time a certificated air
carrier has exceeded a maximum daily flight time limit or a maximum
daily Flight Duty Period (FDP) limit. It is also required for the
voluntary development of a Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS), and
for fatigue training. The information is necessary to monitor trends in
exceedance and possible underlying systemic causes requiring operator
action, and to determine whether operator is scheduling realistically.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 1, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Barbara
Hall, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 10101 Hillwood Parkway,
Fort Worth, TX 76177.
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120-0751.
Title: Flight and Duty Limitations and Rest Requirements--
Flightcrew Members.
Form Numbers: There are no forms associated with this collection.
Type of Review: This is a renewal of an information collection.
Background: The FAA collects reports from air carriers conducting
passenger operations certificated under 14 CFR part 121 as prescribed
in 14 CFR part 117 Flightcrew Member Duty and Rest Requirements,
Sec. Sec. 117.11 and 117.19. Air carriers are required to submit a
report of exceeded flight duty periods and flight times, including
scheduled maximum and actual flight duty periods and flight times,
basic flight information (e.g., city pairs, departure times, flight
number), and reason for exceedance. The purpose for the reports is to
notify the FAA that the certificate holder has extended a flight time
and/or FDP limitation. This information enables FAA to monitor trends
in exceedance and possible underlying systemic causes requiring
operator action as well as determine whether operators are scheduling
realistically. Additionally, if air carriers choose to develop a
Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) they are required to collect data
specific to the need of the operation for which they will seek an FRMS
authorization. It results in an annual recordkeeping and reporting
burden when carriers adopt the system because they need to report the
related activities to the FAA. Each
[[Page 37042]]
air carrier is also required to develop specific elements and
incorporate these elements into their training program. Once the
elements have been incorporated, the air carrier must submit the
revised training program for approval.
Respondents: 67 certificated air carriers.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 20 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,178 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on July 24, 2018.

Management Support Specialist, Performance, Policy, and Records
Management Branch, ASP-110.
