Proposed Information Collection;
Comment Request
National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB).
ACTION: 30-Day notice of information
collection; submission to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs
(OIRA) at the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB).
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995, the National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB) offers the public and
Federal agencies the opportunity to

comment regarding the NTSB’s intent to
submit an Information Collection
Request (ICR) seeking reinstatement,
with change, of a previously-approved
information collection (IC) for which
approval for Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Control No. 3147–0001
has expired. The NTSB’s 60-Day Notice,
soliciting comments on the IC was
published on May 4, 2021, and the
NTSB has since revised the form in
response to comments received as a
result. The NTSB is issuing this 30-Day
Notice, informing the public and
Federal agencies to submit comments
directly to the Office of Information &
Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) regarding this
ICR.
DATES: Submit comments to OIRA
regarding this proposed collection of
information by January 11, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Send comments directly to
OIRA within 30 days of the publication
of this Notice to https://
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
William (Tom) McMurry, Jr., General
Counsel, (202) 314–6080, rulemaking@
ntsb.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NTSB
issues Form 6120.1: Pilot/Operator
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report to a
surviving pilot or operator involved in
an aircraft accident or serious incident
that the agency intends to investigate.
The OMB control number (3147–0001)
associated with this form has since
expired. Because the agency wishes to
continue using the form with revisions,
the NTSB plans to submit an ICR
seeking reinstatement, with change, of a
previously-approved collection for
which approval has expired.
As a result of the 60-Day Notice
published on May 4, 2021, in the
Federal Register, the NTSB has further
revised the 6120.1 Form in response to
comments received. The NTSB’s
responses to comments and the
additional changes to the form have
been submitted as an ICR package to
OIRA for review.
This IC is necessary because the
NTSB is statutorily required to
promulgate regulations governing the
notification and reporting of civil
aircraft accidents; to investigate,
determine, and report on the probable
cause of each accident; and to make
safety recommendations to prevent
similar accidents from occurring in the
future. 49 U.S.C. 1131, 1132. In
coordination with the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), the NTSB is also
required to classify accident and safety
data and publish such data on a
periodic basis. 49 U.S.C. 1119. To fulfill
these statutory obligations, the agency

E:\FR\FM\12DEN1.SGM

12DEN1

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 12, 2023 / Notices
must obtain detailed information about
the pilot, crew, aircraft, and other
circumstances related to an accident or
incident at the start of each NTSB
investigation. This information allows
the agency to: (1) determine the
appropriate course of action in an
investigation; (2) make safety
recommendations and facilitate safety
improvements in the aviation industry;
and (3) classify and publish accident
and safety data.
Because the NTSB is the only Federal
agency charged with investigating
aircraft accidents and incidents, and has
priority over all other agencies in this
role, the NTSB will be the only agency
distributing this accident and incident
report form; thus, this NTSB form is not
duplicative of any other IC. While under
49 U.S.C. 1132(c), the FAA participates
in NTSB aircraft accident investigations
and may oversee some investigative
activities on behalf of the NTSB, the
NTSB’s priority over aircraft accident
investigations ensures no duplicative
ICs from pilots or operators.
Title of Collection: Pilot/Operator
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report.
