Following are short synopses of the 7 currently approved public
information collection activities, which will be submitted to OMB for
review and renewal:
1. 2120-0008, Certification and Operations: Air Carriers and
Operations of Large Aircraft--FAR 121. The respondents are an estimated
140 air carriers and commercial operators certificated under FAR 121.
The estimated total annual burden is 850,000 hours annually. Abstract:
Each operation which seeks to obtain, or is in possession of an air
carrier operating certificate must comply with the requirements of FAR
Part 121 in order to maintain data which is used to determine if the
air carrier is operating in accordance with minimum safety standards.
2. 2120-505, Indirect Air Carrier Security, 14 CFR Part 109. The
respondents are an estimated 2500 indirect air carriers with security
programs. The estimated total annual burden is 650 hours. Abstract:
part 109 sets forth procedures to be used by indirect air carriers in
carrying out their responsibilities involving the protection of persons
and property against acts of criminal violence, aircraft piracy, and
terrorist activities in the forwarding of package cargo by passenger
aircraft.
3. 2120-0536, Security Programs for Foreign Air Carriers. The
respondents are an estimated 170 foreign air carriers/governments. The
estimated total annual burden is 28,000 hours. Abstract: Each foreign
air carrier landing or taking off in the United States is to submit a
security program for the Administrator's acceptance to ensure adequate
security measures are being implemented by those foreign air carriers.
4. 2120-0587, Aviator Safety Studies. The respondents are an
estimated 4000 certified pilots. The burden is an estimated total of
8000 hours. Abstract: In order to conduct effective research on the

Administration. The respondents are an estimated 75,000 people who may
apply for employment with the Federal Aviation Administration. The
estimated burden hours is 75,000 hours annually. Abstract: Under the
provisions of Pub. L. 104-50, the FAA has been given the authority to
develop and implement its own personnel system. This application will
be used in our efforts to automate and centralize the application,
evaluation and referral of applicants for employment.
6. 2120-0600, Training and Qualification Requirements for Check
Airmen and Flight Instructors. The respondents are an estimated 3000
experienced pilots who would otherwise qualify as flight instructors or
check airmen, but who are not medically eligible to hold the requisite
medical certificate to perform flight instructor or check airmen
functions in a simulator. The estimated annual burden is 15 hours.
Abstract: This rule established separate requirements for check airmen
who check only in flight simulators and flight instructors who instruct
only in flight simulators. This information will be used by the FAA to
determine and assure check airmen and instructors maintain the high
qualification standards required to perform their safety functions.
7. 2120-0601, Financial Responsibility for Licensed Launch
Activities. Respondents are an estimated 7 licensees authorized to
conduct licensed launch activities. The estimated annual burden is 1800

including maximum probable loss determination, as set forth in
regulations and in license orders issued by the Office of the Associate
Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation.
