On July 5, 2023, the DOT and FAA issued a joint Notice and request for comments to obtain public comments on the agencies’ intention to request OMB’s approval to renew an information collection related to extracting flight data, like aircraft, routing speed, and other data, from domestic and international flights. DOT and FAA have asked the public to comment generally on the information collection and on specific issues including (1) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for FAA’s performance, (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden, (3) ways for FAA to enhance quality, utility, and clarity of the information collection, and (4) ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information.
