Abstract:
Section 2307 of Public Law 114-190, medical certification of small aircraft pilots, provides that, within 180 days of enactment of Public Law 114-190, the FAA Extension, Safety and Security Act of 2016, the Administrator of the FAA shall issue or revise regulations to ensure that an individual may operate as pilot in command of a covered aircraft if certain provisions stipulated in the Act are met. The Act was enacted July 15, 2016. The use of section 2307 by any eligible pilot is voluntary. Persons may elect to use these alternative pilot physical examination and education requirements or may elect to continue to operate using a third-class or higher medical certificate (information collection 2120-0034).The requirements of section 2307 were codified in 14 CFR parts 61, 91 and newly created part 68

Short Statement:
The official number of responses has increased. However, this is only an administrative change: The FAA has divided Form 8700-2 into 2 new ICs (pilot burden and physician burden). In the previous submission, for Form 8700-2, the pilot input and the physician input were counted as a single response, amounting to 12,500 responses per year. In this submission, pilot burden and physician burden are separated. Thus, the total number of responses has increased by 12,500 because we are arranging the data in a clearer way.
