Abstract: The FAA is finalizing a rule to prohibit civil aircraft operations conducted with supplemental restraint systems (SRS) unless operators meet certain requirements, including passenger briefing and demonstration requirements. The FAA also will impose requirements regarding persons participating in such operations. The FAA expects these requirements to increase the safety of passengers during civil aircraft operations conducted with SRS. The rule is applicable to all civil aircraft operations conducted with use of SRS. The rule will not interfere with parachute operations conducted under part 105 and will not apply to rotorcraft external-load operations conducted under part 133. Additionally, the rule does not apply to operations conducted as public aircraft operations under Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.) §§ 40102(a)(41) and 40125.

Short Statement: This ICR was submitted to OMB upon publication of the NPRM “Use of Supplemental Restraint Systems” in July 2023. The collection is being created to include a new proposed section, 14 CFR 91.108, as part of the final rule Use of Supplemental Restraint Systems, RIN 2120-AL37. Inter alia, this new section imposes a new briefing requirement on pilots in certain situations; this amounts to a disclosure requirement under the PRA. There have been no changes in burden estimates between the publication of the NPRM and the final rule.
