OMB recognizes
that the NTSBs enabling authority calls for the investigation of
accidents, and that these investigations frequently require the
collection of information from survivors and witnesses.
Nonetheless, there is a fine line between necessary data and
supplementary data. NTSB must careflly examine its data collection
instruments to ensure that only necessary data are being collected.
OMB is granting NTSB a one-year clearance for the aircraft
passenger questionnaire. The questionnaire must be shortened. The
questions used fall into five categories: o general information
about the passenger/respondent o structural integrity o actions of
the crew o assessment of other passengers actions o rescue
activities OMB recommends you drop one or more categories.
