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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on July 31, 2018. The collection involves FAA Form 5280-1, Application for Airport Operating Certificate. Every airport that wants to become a certificated airport must complete this form, as well as provide a draft Airport Certification Manual (ACM). In addition, currently certificated airports must maintain their ACM, as well as keep and maintain records related to training, self-inspection, and other requirements. These records allow the FAA to verify compliance with regulation safety and operational requirements to ensure that the airports meet the minimum safety requirements, which in turn enhances the safety of the flying public.

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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was 
published on July 31, 2018. The collection involves FAA Form 5280-1, 
Application for Airport Operating Certificate. Every airport that wants 
to become a certificated airport must complete this form, as well as 
provide a draft Airport Certification Manual (ACM). In addition, 
currently certificated airports must maintain their ACM, as well as 
keep and maintain records related to training, self-inspection, and 
other requirements.
    These records allow the FAA to verify compliance with regulation 
safety and operational requirements to ensure that the airports meet 
the minimum safety requirements, which in turn enhances the safety of 
the flying public.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by December 21, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of 
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to 
[email protected], or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to 
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management 
and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, 
DC 20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Barbara Hall at (940) 594-5913, or by 
email at: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0675.
    Title: Certification of Airports, 14 CFR part 139.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 5280-1.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on July 31, 2018 (83 FR 37042). The statutory authority 
to issue airport operating certificates to airports serving certain air 
carriers and to establish minimum safety standards for the operation of 
those airports is currently found in Title 49, United States Code 
(U.S.C.) 44706, Airport operation certificates. The FAA uses this 
authority to issue requirements for the certification and operation of 
certain airports that service commercial air carriers. These 
requirements are contained in Title 14, Code of Federal Regulation part 
139 (14 CFR part 139), Certification and Operations: Land Airports 
Serving Certain Air Carriers, as amended. 14 CFR part 139 establishes 
certification requirements for airports serving scheduled air carrier 
operations in aircraft with 10-30 seats. Information collection 
requirements are used by the FAA to determine an airport operator's 
compliance with part 139 safety and operational requirements, and to 
assist airport personnel to perform duties required under the 
regulation.
    Operators of certificated airports are required to complete FAA 
Form 5280--1 and develop, and comply with, a written document, an 
Airport Certification Manual (ACM), that details how an airport will 
comply with the requirements of part 139. The ACM shows the means and 
procedures whereby the airport will be operated in compliance with part 
139, plus other instructions and procedures to help personnel concerned 
with operation of the airport to perform their duties and 
responsibilities.
    When an airport satisfactorily complies with such requirements, the 
FAA issues to that facility an airport operating certificate (AOC) that 
permits an airport to serve air carriers. The FAA periodically inspects 
these airports to ensure continued compliance with part 139 safety 
requirements, including the maintenance of specified records. Both the 
application for an AOC and annual compliance inspections require 
operators of certificated airports to collect and report certain 
operational information. The AOC remains in effect as long as the need 
exists and the operator complies with the terms of the AOC and the ACM.
    The likely respondents to new information requests are those 
civilian U.S. airport certificate holders who operate airports that 
serve scheduled and unscheduled operations of air carrier aircraft with 
more than 30 passenger seats (approximately 530 airports). These 
airport operators already hold an AOC and comply with all current 
information collection requirements.
    Operators of certificated airports are permitted to choose the 
methodology to report information and can design their own 
recordkeeping system. As airports vary in size, operations and 
complexities, the FAA has determined this method of information 
collection allows airport operators greater flexibility and convenience 
to comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements. 100% of the 
information may be submitted electronically.
    The FAA has an automated system, the Certification and Compliance 
Management Information System (CCMIS), which allows FAA airport safety 
and certification inspectors to enter into a national database airport 
inspection information. This information is monitored to detect trends 
and developing safety issues, to allocate inspection resources, and 
generally, to be more responsive to the needs of regulated airports.
    Respondents: Approximately 530 airports.
    Frequency: Information collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 22 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 95,191 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on November 15, 2018.
