Abstract:
The reporting and recordkeeping requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 91, General Operating and Flight Rules, are authorized by Part A of Subtitle VII of the Revised Title 49 United States Code. FAR Part 91 prescribes rules governing the operation of aircraft (other than moored balloons, kites, rockets and unmanned free balloons) within the United States. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements prescribed by various sections of FAR Part 91 are necessary for FAA to assure compliance with these provisions. This information collection also reflects the reporting requirements related to exercise of emergency powers by remote pilots in command pursuant to 14 CFR 107.21. That section states that in an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the remote pilot in command may deviate from any rule of part 107 to the extent necessary to meet that emergency. Each remote pilot in command who deviates from a rule in an in-flight emergency must, upon request of the Administrator, send a written report of that deviation to the Administrator.

Short Statement:
In this extension request, the FAA has broken out each collection into a separate IC. The total number of responses has increased, because they were miscounted in previous submissions. The estimated reduction in hours is due to the correction of calculation errors and the removal of a duplicative manual requirement, which was erroneously included in previous submissions. Finally, the federal cost has increased as a result of more rigorous accounting and analysis.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$2,176,800
