Abstract: Organizations that desire to become or remain certified as air carriers or commercial operators are mandated to report information to the FAA. The information collected reflects requirements necessary under parts 135, 121, and 125 to comply with Federal Aviation Regulation part 119 – Certification: Air Carriers and Commercial Operators. . The FAA will use the information it collects and reviews to ensure compliance and adherence to regulations and, if necessary, to take enforcement action on violators of the regulations. All calculations in question 12 were re-estimated based on current number of new certifications, incorporation of powered-lift, and number of current certificate holders, (pages 4-22). This collection is being revised as part of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Update to Air Carrier Definitions.

Short Statement: In the notice of proposed rulemaking, Update to Air Carrier Definitions (RIN 2120-AL80), the FAA proposes to amend the regulatory definitions of certain air carrier and commercial operations. This proposed rule would add powered-lift to these definitions to ensure the appropriate sets of rules apply to air carriers’ and certain commercial operators’ operations of aircraft that FAA regulations define as powered-lift. The FAA also proposes to update certain basic requirements that apply to air carrier oversight, such as the contents of operations specifications and the qualifications applicable to certain management personnel. In addition, this proposed rule would apply the rules for commercial air tours to powered-lift. The FAA estimates that four new entrants will be certificated under 14 CFR part 119 to conduct operations using powered-lift in the three years of this information collections. All burden revisions stem from the estimate of four new entrant operators.
