Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of a New Approval of Information Collection: NOTAM 
Realignment User Survey

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information collection. 
In accordance with FAA Order JO 1030.4, ATO SysOps Services SMS 
Oversight, the FAA ATO System Operations Management, Safety Assurance 
Group (SAG) is conducting a comprehensive assessment of the Notice to 
Airmen (NOTAM) Realignment Phase 1 (NRP-1) process to determine if 
unacceptable hazards exist within the National Airspace System (NAS). 
Essential to the assessment is a survey of airline and corporate pilots 
and dispatchers as well as airport operators and general aviation 
pilots. The SAG survey will be compared with results of a similar 
survey conducted in 2008 by the FAA Office of Safety (AJS).

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 8, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carla Scott on (202) 267-9895, or by 
e-mail at: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 2120-XXXX .
    Title: NOTAM Realignment User Survey.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Clearance of a new information collection.
    Background: Results of the SOSM SAG NOTAM Realignment Phase 1 (NRP-
1) Assessment will be used to establish the status of identified 
hazards and ensure no new hazards have been introduced into the NAS. In 
addition to on-site visits, the SOSM SAG audit team has prepared three 
surveys mirroring those sent by the Safety Support and Independent 
Assessment (SSIA) as part of an investigation conducted in 2008. One 
survey is directed externally to general aviation pilots, airport 
operations staff and airline pilots and dispatchers. This Paperwork 
Reduction Act submission only concerns the external survey directed to 
users of the National Airspace System (NAS).
