There has been a significant increase in program participation. Specifically, the number of aircraft operators in the program has risen over 60%, the number of FBOs has increased by 138%, and the number of actual flight operations has grown 66%. Several of the newer corporate aircraft operators have a very large number of flight crewmembers (e.g., one operator has over 2,000 flight crew members). This increased agency estimate resulted in an annual increase of 4,339 responses and 2,295 burden hours. The decrease in government cost is a direct result of no longer having intial start up costs and current maintenance of only the online system. The new numbers represent data collected based on the actual number of operators and number of operations conducted under the DASSP program.
