Abstract: The purpose of the information collection is to accomplish the mandate in § 40104 to “provide technical assistance on any other aspect of aviation safety that the Administrator determines is likely to enhance international aviation safety.” The information also informs the FAA’s International Strategy, which is the agency’s mechanism for fulfilling its international role. The information collection directly supports the FAA’s International Strategy by enabling the FAA to reshape and further strengthen its longstanding international contributions. Foreign affairs specialists assigned to the FAA Office of International Affairs will collect voluntary information from respondents (foreign counterparts, ICAO and its subsidiary organizations, other international organizations and fora, or from private foreign entities) verbally, in-person or telephonically, or in writing via letter, email, or other electronic means.This collection will occur as needed on an ongoing basis and is considered “reporting.” The information that would be reported to the FAA by respondents is a foreign state, region, or organization’s aviation system information. For example, when considering a request or proposal for technical assistance, the FAA Office of International Affairs may collect information from a foreign civil aviation authority that discloses their air traffic management policies, procedures, and training. The FAA Office of International Affairs would use this information to evaluate the merits of the technical assistance request or proposal. The information collected would enable a more data-informed decision about how to best address the core matter in the most efficient and effective way, be it through training, supply support, other advisory services, referral to other non-U.S.-government resources, or denying the request or proposal. Although the information collected may be not expected to be disseminated directly to the public, results may be used in management, technical or general informational publications.
