Runway incursions are a risk to the public traveling in aircraft. FAA has been concentrating on this issue for a decade and progress has been elusive, in part because of a lack of feedback from people working and flying on the runways in the NAS. Feedback from surveys will be used in the prevention of runway collisions and in the medication of the severity and frequency of runway incursions.
The adjustment to the burden from the previous regular Information Collection Request is based on a reevaluation of all potential surveys to be conducted in the future by this program, each of which is listed in the attached spreadsheet and is accounted for in the total burden figures. This is being submitted as a Generic Information Collection Request; the individual surveys listed are in early stages of development, and as they are each developed FAA plans to follow procedures for activating them according to OMBÂs requirements for seeking approval for individual ICs within a Generic ICR.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
