The information collected is used by
the FAA, Noise Division of the Office of Environment and Energy, to
issue special flight authorizations for nonrevenue operations of
transports and non-transport jet, Stage 2 airplanes at U.S.
airports. The operators of such noisier airplanes that seek
specific operations into U.S. airports must fill out an SFA form to
request FAA approval. The collection of this information is
mandatory and must be reported by operators when they need a
special flight authorization after 12/31/2015. Minimal data is
requested to identify the affected parties and determine whether
the purpose for the flight is one of the ones enumerated in the
law. The collection of information is on occasion and follows the
circumstances enumerated in the law. The submitted data, about
requested flight departure and arrival airports that match the
purpose of flight, is used to attest to such authorized flight
operations in the case of audit by FAA enforcement personnel. The
FAA maintains in records the original request information. FAA form
1050-8 exists to minimize operator and FAA workload; intended to
get all the information at one time in most cases (avoid repeated
contacts to issue one special flight authorization).
There are no programmatic
changes since the previous submission. However, an adjustment in
number of respondents has been made due to updated estimates based
on previous special flight authorization data collection from 2016
to 2018, which indicated a reduction in number of respondents from
the prior estimate of 50 to 30. As a result the total burden has
reduced.
