In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the FAA invites public comments about its intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) grant emergency approval for a new information collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments is waived, as this is an emergency action in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. This action would enable the FAA to collect voluntary information from air carriers authorized to conduct operations under Parts 121 and 135 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) that participate or have participated in transport of the COVID-19 vaccines to support continued operational safety and efficiency.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) seeks emergency clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new information collection in connection with the FAA COVID-19 Vaccine Air Transport Team’s work with air carriers and other aviation stakeholders to aid in the safe and efficient transport of the COVID-19 vaccines. This action would enable the FAA to collect voluntary information from air carriers authorized to conduct operations under Parts 121 and 135 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) that participate or have participated in transport of the COVID-19 vaccines. The targeted audience and sample frame for this information collection are air carriers authorized to operate under Parts 121 and 135 that registered to participate in the DOT/FAA-hosted Vaccine Distribution Engagement Meetings (VDEMs), which are described in more detail below, and others such air carriers that are members of industry associations who registered to participate in the VDEMs. Impacting millions of lives, transport of the COVID-19 vaccines is one of the most logistically complicated endeavors undertaken. The vaccines continue to be transported, and additional transportation needs are anticipated during both the current and potential future waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lessons learned from transport of the vaccines also will inform future responses to public health emergencies, as applicable.
