With the exception of Form 8060-14 and -15, an operator utilizes the various 8060 forms to report a request for the applicable records of all applicants for the position of pilot with their company as needed under PRIA. The information collected on these forms will be used only to facilitate search and retrieval of the requested records, and submission is mandatory until PRIA sunsets. Operators 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 8060-14 is used by pilots who cannot access the PRD themselves in order to release records to an operator, 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 operators for review, there will be cases when pilots cannot access the PRD application. In those cases, the pilot will complete the Form 8060-14 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 operator(s). The form may also be used to revoke consent to the records, and update the pilotâs employment history if needed. The information is collected on an as needed basis. The Form 8060-15 will also be used also used by pilots who cannot access the PRD themselves. This form allows a pilot to mark a record as disputed and to initiate the correction process for non-FAA forms. Information may also be reported by members of the aviation public to create a MyAccess registration and authenticate into the PRD.
The remaining âweb-basedâ data collection tools are used by operators to enter various records into the PRD as required by part 111. Pilots also use the PRD web site to enter their previous aviation employers. The information entered is associated with a pilot, which is then made available to a hiring operator after the pilot grants consent allowing the records to be viewed. The hiring operator then uses the information to help them perform a comprehensive assessment of the pilot prior to making a hiring decision, as required by the Act.
Total burden is reduced because the agency has discontinued the collection of two forms. Other IC burdens rose slightly due to slightly expanded number of respondents.
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.
