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. OMB Control Number: 2120-0514. Title: Aviation Insurance. Form Numbers: Not applicable. 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 December 30, 2024 (89 FR 106727). The FAA Aviation Insurance Program derives its authority from Title 49, United States Code, chapter 443 to issue aviation war risk insurance to air carriers with and without premium. FAA coverage is issued in support of mission objectives and operations when insurance is not available commercially on reasonable terms and conditions. Air carriers never insured must submit an application before the FAA can provide coverage. Applicants provide business information, aircraft to be covered by the policy, and information about commercial insurance policies. As a condition of FAA coverage, air carriers must submit any changes to the initial application information as necessary. Air carriers must also provide a copy of their current commercial insurance policy on an ongoing basis, as well as information for any new aircraft the air carrier would like to add to the FAA policy. This information is provided electronically to the FAA through a web-based system. The information is used to form the insurance policy between the FAA and the air carrier. Respondents: Air carriers applying for aviation insurance and updating required information. Frequency: Initial one-time application and updates to application information 1-2 times per year. Estimated Average Burden per Response: Initial application—4 hours; commercial policy submission—10 minutes; business information update—5 minutes; and aircraft schedule update—2 minutes per aircraft. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 10 minutes to 4 hours per respondent. Cumulative total 158 hours (maximum). Issued in Boonsboro, MD, on May 19, 2025. Stacy Ditto, Program Manager, Aviation Insurance Command and Control Communications (C3) Division (AXE-400), Office of National Security Programs and Incident Response, Federal Aviation Administration.
