Abstract:
A letter of application and related documents which set forth an applicant's ability to conduct operations in compliance with the provisions of FAR Part 125 are submitted to the appropriate Flight Standards District Office (FSDO). This submission is mandatory for those aircraft operators who wish to operate under 14 CFR Part 125. This collection includes both reporting and recordkeeping requirements.. These requirements are annual or as needed, depending on the section. Inspectors in FAA FSDOs review the submitted information to determine certificate eligibility. If the letter of application, related documents, and inspection shows that the applicant satisfactorily meets acceptable safety standards, an operating certificate and operations specifications will be issued. If the information were not collected, the FAA could not discharge its responsibilities directed to the safety of large airplane operators during such operations.

Short Statement:
The overall burden has decreased because the population of respondents has decreased since the last submission. There are approximately 27% fewer part 125 operators and airplanes than there were three years ago. Additionally, there were only two applications for a part 125 operating certificate in the past three years. Therefore, this submission estimates only one new application per year. However, the hourly costs for both commercial pilots and FAA Aviation Safety Inspectors have increased, thereby slightly offsetting the reduction in the number of operators and airplanes. While operator overall cost burden decreased by 14%, Federal government costs increased by 5%. This is because the previous submission overestimated the number of amendments but did not account for the reports of defects or unairworthy conditions. This submission correctly accounts for amendments and reports of defects. These adjustments resulted in a very slight reduction in burden hours but the increased FAA inspector wage resulted in an overall increase in the Federal burden.
