Title: Helicopter Air Ambulance

Form Numbers: 2120–0756.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collection of information was published
on May 1, 2024 (89 FR 35299). The FAA
Modernization and Reform Act of 2012
(The Act) mandates that all helicopter
air ambulance operators must begin
reporting the number of flights and
hours flown, along with other specified
information, during which helicopters
operated by the certificate holder were
providing helicopter air ambulance
services. See Public Law 112–95, sec.
306, 49 U.S.C. 44731. The Act further
mandates that not later than 2 years
after the date of enactment, and
annually thereafter, the Administrator
shall submit to the Committee on
Transportation and Infrastructure of the
House of Representatives and the
Committee on Commerce, Science, and
Transportation of the Senate, a report
containing a summary of the data
collected.
The helicopter air ambulance
operational data provided to the FAA
will be used by the agency as
background information useful in the
development of risk mitigation
strategies to reduce the helicopter air
ambulance accident rate, and to meet
the mandates set by Congress. The
information requested is limited to the
minimum necessary to fulfill these new
reporting requirements mandated by the
Act and as developed by FAA. The
amount of data required to be submitted
is proportional to the size of the
operation.
