SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Civil Aircraft Landing Permit System Forms; DD Forms 2400, 2401, and 2402; OMB Control Number 0701-0050.

Type of Request: Revision.

Number of Respondents: 5,400.

Responses per Respondent: 1.

Annual Responses: 5,400.

Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.

Annual Burden Hours: 900.

Needs and Uses: The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (Pub. L. 85-726, sec. 1107) authorized government agencies to regulate public use of government-owned
airfields. The military departments have made military airfields available to civil aircraft operators, primarily to conduct
official government business; however, use for other purpose is also occasionally accommodated (see Air Force Instruction
10-1001, Army Regulation 95-2, and Secretary of the Navy Instruction 3770-IC). Access must be managed to ensure that security
and operational integrity are maintained and that the government is not held liable if the civil aircraft becomes involved
in an accident or incident while using military airfields, facilities, and services. The collection of information is necessary
to identify the aircraft operator and the aircraft to be operated; establish the purpose for use of military airfields; and
protect the U.S. Government against litigation.

The respondents for this collection include any civil aircraft operator applying for landing rights on a DoD airfield. The
Air Force processes three times more requests than other military branches of service, thus the Air Force is the owner of
the Civil Aircraft Landing Permit System program and DD Forms 2400, 2401, and 2402. The respondents may access the collection
instruments via the DoD Forms website or by contacting the base of interest to obtain info on how to request forms for landing
approval. Respondents must complete DD Form 2401 to identify themselves, indicate where they want to operate, state their
purpose for use, and list their aircraft. DD Form 2402 is used to ensure that the respondent agrees to hold the government
harmless and notify their insurance company to complete the DD Form 2400 to show evidence of third-party liability insurance
coverage. The forms are provided at no cost to the individual or company, and when use is for official government business,
there is no charge for use of the airfield. The military departments also use the information to advise installation commanders
of approved users, aircraft registration numbers, and purpose for use.

Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; individuals or households.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent's Obligation: Required to retain or obtain benefits.

OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
