SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Airplane Pilot Qualifications and Approval Record, 
Helicopter Pilot Qualifications and Approval Record, Airplane Data 
Record and Helicopter Data Record OMB Number: 0596-0015.

    Abstract: The Forest Service contracts with approximately 400 
vendors a year for commercial aviation services utilized in resource 
protection and project management. In recent years, the total annual 
use of contract aircraft and pilots has exceeded 80,000 hours. In order 
to maintain an acceptable level of safety, preparedness, and cost-
effectiveness in aviation operations, Forest Service contracts include 
rigorous qualifications for pilots and specific condition, equipment, 
and

[[Page 9691]]

performance requirements for aircraft as aviation operations are 
conducted under extremely adverse conditions of weather, terrain, 
turbulence, smoke reduced visibility, minimally improved landing areas, 
and congested airspace around wildfires. To ensure agency contracting 
officers that pilots and aircraft used for aviation operations meet 
specific Forest Service qualifications and requirements for aviation 
operations, prospective contract pilots fill out one of the following 
Forest Service forms:
     FS-5700-20--Airplane Pilot Qualifications and Approval 
Record
     FS-5700-20a--Helicopter Pilot Qualifications and Approval 
Record
    Contract Officers' Technical Representatives use forms:
     FS-5700-21--Airplane Data Record
     FS-5700-21a--Helicopter Data Record
    When inspecting the aircraft for contract compliance. Based upon 
the approval(s) documented on the form(s), each contractor pilot and 
aircraft receives an approval card. The Forest Service personnel verify 
possession of properly approved cards before using contracted pilots 
and aircraft.
    Information collected on these forms includes:
     Name.
     Address.
     Certification numbers.
     Employment history.
     Medical Certification.
     Airplane/helicopter certifications and specifications.
     Accident/violation history.
    Without the collected information, Forest Service Contracting 
Officers, as well as Forest Service pilot and aircraft inspections, 
cannot determine if contracted pilots and aircraft meet the detailed 
qualification, equipment, and condition requirements essential to safe 
and effective accomplishment of Forest Service specified flying 
missions. Without a reasonable basis to determine pilot qualifications 
and aircraft capability, Forest Service employees would be exposed to 
hazardous conditions. The data collected documents the approval of 
contract pilots and aircraft for specific Forest Service aviation 
missions. Information will be collected and reviewed by Contracting 
Officers or their designated representatives, including aircraft 
inspectors, to determine whether the aircraft and/or pilot(s) meet all 
contract specifications in accordance with Forest Service Handbook 
(FSH) 5709.16, chapter 10, sections 15 and 16. Forest Service pilot and 
aircraft inspectors maintain the collected information in Forest 
Service regional offices. The Forest Service, at times, shares the 
information with the Department of the Interior, Aviation Management 
Directorate, as each organization accepts contract inspections 
conducted by the other.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: 60 minutes.
    Type of Respondents: Vendors/Contractors.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 2100.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 2100 hours.
    Comment is Invited: Comment is invited on: (1) Whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the stated purposes and the 
proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether 
the information will have practical or scientific utility; (2) the 
accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including the use of 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    All comments received in response to this notice, including names 
and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record. 
Comments will be summarized and included in the submission request 
toward Office of Management and Budget approval.

    Dated: February 13, 2015.

Associate Deputy Chief, State and Private Forestry.
