This collection is promulgated under
the authority described in Title 49 of the United States Code,
Subtitle I, Section 106 Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section
40103, Sovereignty and use of airspace, and Subpart III, section
44701, General requirements. Under section 40103, the FAA is
charged with prescribing regulations on the flight of aircraft,
including regulations on safe altitudes, navigating, protecting,
and identifying aircraft, and the safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace. Under section 44701, the FAA is charged with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by
prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the
Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This
collection requires performance measures for certain avionics
equipment on aircraft operating in specified classes of airspace
within the United States National Airspace System. On May 28, 2010,
the FAA published the final rule entitled Automatic Dependent
Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out Performance Requirements to
Support Air Traffic Control (ATC) Service. As of January 2, 2020,
when operating in the airspace designated in 14 CFR § 91.225(a) and
(d), operators must be equipped with ADS-B Out avionics that meet
the performance requirements of 14 CFR § 91.227.

ICs have been broken out to
reflect those aircraft currently equipped, "existing," based on May
1, 2020 FAA equipage (good install) monitoring and aircraft
detected by FAA ADS-B Network; and, those aircraft numbers
projected by FAA that may be installing, "new," ADS-B equipment
annually. New equipage projection, 19,000 annually, based on
estimated 57,000 aircraft General Aviation aircraft still not
equipped. Since last submission ADS-B Out has been mandated. As of
January 2, 2020, when operating in the airspace designated in 14
CFR § 91.225(a) and (d), operators must be equipped with ADS-B Out
avionics that meet the performance requirements of 14 CFR § 91.227.
As of January 2, 2020, ADS-B is the preferred surveillance method
for the control of air traffic across the National Airspace System
(NAS). ADS-B supports the aircraft surveillance needs of the FAA by
requiring avionics equipment that meet the performance requirements
of 14 CFR § 91.227 and continuously transmit aircraft information
to be received by the FAA, via automation, for use in providing air
traffic surveillance services. Since the rule went into effect,
there has not been any changes or adjustments to the program.
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.
