    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on November 21, 2022 (87 FR 70888). In response to the 
increasing number of accidents and incidents involving the Mitsubishi 
MU-2B series airplane, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began 
a safety evaluation of the MU-2B in July of 2005. As a result of this 
safety evaluation, on February 6, 2008 the FAA issued Special Federal 
Aviation Regulation No. 108--Mitsubishi MU-2B Series Special Training, 
Experience, and Operating Requirements. This Special Federal Aviation 
Regulation (SFAR) established a standardized pilot training program. 
The collection of information is necessary to document participation 
in, completion of, and compliance with the pilot training program for 
the MU-2B under subpart N of part 91, issued on September 7, 2016, 
which superseded SFAR No. 108.
    Respondents: Approximately 15 part 91 training providers, and 
approximately 250 active MU-2 pilots.
    Frequency: Every year (pilots); every two years (training 
providers).
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Pilots: Logbook endorsement 
and training course final phase check = 10 minutes. Training providers: 
Submission of training program = 4 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: Pilots: 42 hours. Training 
providers: 32 hours. Total: 74 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on March 6, 2023.
