                [Docket No. FAA-2019-0772]
                Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
                Clearance of a New Approval of Information Collection: Pilot Reports
                (PIREP)
                AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
                ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
                invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of
                Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information collection.
                The collection involves an aircraft pilot's voluntary submission of
                weather conditions that were encountered while in flight. The
                information to be collected is necessary because Pilot Report (PIREP)
                Solicitation and Dissemination has been identified by the ATO as one of
                the Top 5 hazards in the National Airspace System (NAS). For certain
                weather conditions, PIREPs are the only means of confirmation that
                forecasted conditions are occurring. The FAA 7110-2 PIREP Form is a
                guide to assist pilots in submitting Pilot Weather Reports into the
                NAS.
                DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 30, 2019.
                ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
                 By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into
                search field).

                Independence Ave SW, Suite 300 W, Washington, DC 20591.

                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                 Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
                this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
                collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
                accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
                quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
                ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
                the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
                your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
                collection.
