With the exception of Form 8060-XX, an air carrier utilizes these forms to report a request for the applicable records of all applicants for the position of pilot with their company as needed. The information collected on these forms will be used only to facilitate search and retrieval of the requested records and submission is mandatory. Air carriers then âmay use such records only to assess the qualification of the individual in deciding whether or not to hire the individual as a pilot.â (49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(11)). Form 8060-XX is used by pilots who cannot access the PRD themselves in order to release records to an air carrier and its use is voluntary until the FAA issues the PRD final rule. While the FAA expects most pilots will access the PRD web-based application themselves and release records to air carriers for review, there will be cases when pilots cannot access the PRD application. In those cases, the pilot will complete the Form 8060-XX and submit to the FAA. The form instructs the FAA to access the PRD on behalf of the pilot and release the records to the specified air carrier(s). The form may also be used to revoke consent to the records if needed. The information is collected on an as needed basis. Information may also be reported by members of the aviation public to create a MyAccess registration and authenticate into the PRD.
Labor costs had been incorrectly entered into ROCIS on previous submissions. However, this submission adjusts for that mistake. Since there are no material costs, this submission shows zero for respondent costs. This is a revision to an existing information collection under OMB control number 2120-0607. The revision includes information on the deployment of the Pilot Records Database and the use of a new Form 8060-XX. Form 8060-XX is an alternative to using the Form 8060-10. The revision also includes information on the MyAccess registration web portal. PRD completed the System Characterization E-Authentication Risk Analysis which resulted in a determination of a privacy level of assurance of level 2 for e-authentication. While PRD provides only existing FAA pilot records that can be obtained by a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request through the legacy hard copy process the fact that those records would be automated led to the determination. The PRD team then determined that a robust verification application would be needed. PRD team selected the same verification application tool that is used for the bulk of FAA programs such as for time and attendance. MyAccess is the current tool for FAA employee to use with their PIV cards and was adopted to be used for non FAA users for verification. The MyAccess team in conjunction with the well-known Lexisnexis verification subscription service developed the non PIV verification method adopted by PRD. In order to provide full disclosure the OMB 2120-0607 was amended to include this verification tool.
