SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2120--New.
    Title: Helicopter Generic Clearance for Customer Interactions.
    Form Numbers: No Forms.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Background: Customer Interactions provide the Federal Aviation 
Administration valuable information and connect the agency to the 
public that we serve. In order to ensure a timely and consistent 
process for Paperwork Reduction Act compliance, the Federal Aviation 
Administration is proposing to develop a Generic Information Collection 
Request to be utilized for Customer Interactions that support the 
Agency's mission.
    Customer Interactions can support the Federal Aviation 
Administration's mission by allowing the Agency to collect qualitative 
and quantitative data that can help inform scientific research; 
aviation assessments and monitoring efforts; validate models or tools; 
and enhance the quantity and quality of data collected across 
communities. Customer Interactions also create an avenue to incorporate 
local knowledge and needs, and can contribute to increased data 
sharing, open data, and government transparency. The Federal Aviation 
Administration may sponsor the collection of this type of information 
in connection with aviation projects. All such collections will follow 
Agency policies and regulations. If a new collection is not within the 
parameters of this generic Information Collection Request (ICR), the 
Agency will submit a separate information collection request to Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval.
    Collections under this generic ICR will be from volunteers who 
participate on their own initiative through an open and transparent 
process; the collections will be low-burden for participants; 
collections will be low-cost for both the participants and the Federal 
Government; and data will be available to support the endeavors of the 
Agency, states, tribal or local entities where data collection occurs.
    Respondents: Approximately 11,000 Individuals and Households, 
Businesses and Organizations, State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Frequency: Once per request.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,833 hours.

    Issued in Fort Worth, TX, on March 2, 2018.

FAA Information Collection Clearance Officer, IT Enterprises Business
