FAA Seeks Renewal for Air Tour Data Collection

## 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 requirements in FAA regulations that set safety and oversight rules for a broad variety of sightseeing and commercial air tour flights to improve the overall safety of commercial air tours by requiring all air tours to submit information.

## Effects PRIA read

- Annual reporting burden for air tours: cost, medium. If you operate commercial air tours, FAA requires you to submit safety and oversight information under OMB Control Number 2120-0717. Most requirements are annual, one is one-time, the average burden is 5 hours per response, and the estimated total annual burden across respondents is 2,560 hours.
- FAA will use submissions for enforcement: cost, medium. FAA says it will review the information you submit to ensure compliance with air tour safety regulations and may take enforcement action against violators. This use of submitted data is tied to the same information collection renewal (OMB Control Number 2120-0717).
