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.

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.

[email protected]; phone: 940-594-5913

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

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.
