    Title: Survey of Airman Satisfaction with Aeromedical Certification 
Services.
    Form Numbers: N/A.
    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 March 14, 2022 (87 FR 49). No comments were received. 
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), through the Office of 
Aerospace Medicine (OAM), is responsible for the medical certification 
of pilots and certain other personnel under 14 CFR 67 to ensure they 
are medically qualified to operate aircraft and perform their duties 
safely. In the accomplishment of this responsibility, OAM provides a 
number of services to pilots, and has established goals for the 
performance of those services. This is a biennial survey designed to 
meet the requirement to survey stakeholder satisfaction under Executive 
Order No. 12862, ``Setting Customer Service Standards,'' and the 
Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA).
    The survey of Airman Satisfaction with Aeromedical Certification 
Services assesses airman opinion of key dimensions of service quality. 
These dimensions, identified by the OMB Statistical Policy Office in 
the 1993 ``Resource Manual for Customer Surveys,'' are courtesy, 
competence, reliability, and communication. The survey also provides 
airmen with the opportunity to provide feedback on the services and a 
medical certificate application tool they use. This information is used 
to inform improvements in Aeromedical Certification Services.
    The survey was initially deployed in 2004, and deployed again in 
2006, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2019, and 2021 (OMB Control No. 2120-
0707). Across collections, minor revisions have been made to the survey 
items and response options to reflect changes in operational services 
and survey technology. To reduce the burden on the individual 
respondent and potentially improve the response rate, this information 
collection will be electronic.
    Respondents: Approximately 4,300 Airmen.
    Frequency: Biannually.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 15 minutes per respondent, 950 total 
burden hours.
