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 commercial air tour operational data provided to the

Air Tour Management Act (NPATMA) of 2000.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by December 10, 2015.

the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of 
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to 
oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to 
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management 
and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20503.
    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

Tour Management Act (NPATMA) of 2000. One of these amendments requires 
commercial air tour operators conducting tours over national park units 
to report on the number of operations they conduct and any such other 
information prescribed by the FAA Administrator and the Director of the 
National Park Service (NPS).
