(940)594-5913, or by email at: *Barbara.L.Hall@faa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control Number:* 2120—New. *Title:* Helicopter Generic Clearance for Customer Interactions. *Form Numbers:* No Forms. *Type of Review:* New collection. *Background:* Customer Interactions provide the Federal Aviation Administration valuable information and connect the agency to the public that we serve. In order to ensure a timely and consistent process for Paperwork Reduction Act compliance, the Federal Aviation Administration is proposing to develop a Generic Information Collection Request to be utilized for Customer Interactions that support the Agency's mission. Customer Interactions can support the Federal Aviation Administration's mission by allowing the Agency to collect qualitative and quantitative data that can help inform scientific research; aviation assessments and monitoring efforts; validate models or tools; and enhance the quantity and quality of data collected across communities. Customer Interactions also create an avenue to incorporate local knowledge and needs, and can contribute to increased data sharing, open data, and government transparency. The Federal Aviation Administration may sponsor the collection of this type of information in connection with aviation projects. All such collections will follow Agency policies and regulations. If a new collection is not within the parameters of this generic Information Collection Request (ICR), the Agency will submit a separate information collection request to Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)for approval. Collections under this generic ICR will be from volunteers who participate on their own initiative through an open and transparent process; the collections will be low-burden for participants; collections will be low-cost for both the participants and the Federal Government; and data will be available to support the endeavors of the Agency, states, tribal or local entities where data collection occurs. *Respondents:* Approximately 11,000 Individuals and Households, Businesses and Organizations, State, Local or Tribal Government. *Frequency:* Once per request. *Estimated Average Burden per Response:* 10 minutes. *Estimated Total Annual Burden:* 1,833 hours. Issued in Fort Worth, TX, on March 2, 2018. Barbara Hall, FAA Information Collection Clearance Officer, IT Enterprises Business Services Division, ASP-110. [FR Doc. 2018-04922 Filed 3-9-18; 8:45 am]
