                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 to renew an information
                collection. The collection involves the reporting requirements to
                ensure the check pilots and instructors are adequately trained and
                checked/evaluated to ensure they are capable and competent to perform
                the duties and responsibilities required by the air carrier to meet the
                regulations. Experienced pilots who would otherwise qualify as flight
                instructors or check airmen, but who may not medically eligible to hold
                the requisite medical certificate are mandated to keep records that may
                be inspected by the FAA to certify eligibility to perform flight
                instructor or check airmen functions.
                DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 8, 2021.
                ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
