Short Statement:
This is a request for renewal of a currently approved collection. The burden hours have increased from the prior approval for several reasons. Many of the estimates in the prior approval were based on the professional expertise of the FAA’s PFC program specialist staff. In preparing this request for renewal, the FAA used factual historical program data to the maximum extent possible. The FAA’s PFC program staff also informally consulted with industry stakeholders and subject matter experts in determining estimates. While these adjustments provide greater accuracy and transparency in the FAA’s burden estimates, they also result in increased burden hours. Program changes associated with recent legislation also impact the burden hours.
