Abstract: On October 5, 2018, Congress enacted Public Law 115-254, the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (“the Act”). Section 335(b) of the Act required each certificate holder operating under 14 CFR part 121 to submit/report to the FAA for review and acceptance a Fatigue Risk Management Plan (FA FRMP) for each certificate holder’s flight attendants. Section 335(b) contains the required contents of the FRMP, including a rest scheme consistent with current flight time and duty period limitations and development and use of methodology to continually assess the effectiveness of the ability of the plan to improve alertness and mitigate performance errors. Section 335(b) requires that each certificate holder operating under 14 CFR part 121 shall update its FRMP every two years and submit/report the update to the FAA for review and acceptance. Further, section 335(b) of the Act requires each certificate holder operating under 14 CFR part 121 to comply with its FRMP that is accepted by the FAA.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Changes were made to the wage rates of airline and federal employees. There is a significant change in the number of air carriers who require a new program. In the last version of this collection, the requirement to submit a flight attendant FRMP was new so all existing carriers needed to develop an initial program. Since all existing carriers have complied, only new entrants need to submit an initial plan. Therefore the burden for new plans is significantly lower than in the previous collection.
