Federal Aviation Administration
Notice of Intent To Request Renewal From the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) of Current Public Collections of Information
agency: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
action: Notice of intent to renew 7 currently approved public
information collection activities.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
summary: Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
and 5 CFR Part 1320, Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements, the FAA
invites public comment on 7 currently approved public information
collections which will be submitted to OMB for renewal.
dates: Comments must be received on or before December 23, 1996.
addresses: Comments on any of these collections may be mailed or
delivered in duplicate to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Judith
Street, Federal Aviation Administration, Corporate Information
Division, ABC-100, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591.
for further information contact: Ms. Judith Street at the above address
or on (202) 267-9895.
supplementary information: The FAA solicits comments on any of the
current collections of information in order to: Evaluate the necessity
of the collection; the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
and possible ways to minimize the burden of the collection. Following
are short synopses of the 7 currently approved public information
collection activities which will be submitted to OMB for review and
approval.
1. 2120-0010, Repair Station Certification, FAR 145. The
information
[[Page 54833]]
collected on FAA Form 8310-3, Application for Repair Station
Certificate and/or Rating, is required from applicants who wish repair
station certification. 14 CFR Part 145 prescribes the requirements for
issuing repair station certificates and associated ratings to
maintenance and alteration facilities. The collection of this
information is necessary for the issuance, renewal, or amendment of
applicants' repair station certificates, and ensuring that repair
stations meet minimum acceptable standards. There are an estimated
1,000 applications annually for an annual burden of 270,000 hours.
2. 2120--0043, Recording of Aircraft Conveyances and Security
Documents. Approval is needed for security conveyances, such as
mortgages, submitted by the public for recording against aircraft,
engines, propellers, and spare parts locations. There is an estimated
56,000 respondents annually for an estimated burden of 56,000 hours. 14
CFR part 49 establishes procedures for implementation of the recording
of aircraft conveyances and security Documents. Part 49 describes what
information must be contained in a security conveyance in order for it
to be recorded with FAA. The convention on the International
Recognition signatory, prevents, by treaty, the export of an aircraft
and cancellation of its nationality marks if there is an outstanding
lien recorded. The Civil Aviation Registry must have consent or release
of lien from the lien holder prior to confirmation/cancellation for
export.
3. 2120-0049, Agricultural Aircraft Operations, FAR 137. Standards
have been established for the operation of agricultural aircraft and
for the dispensing of chemicals, pesticides, and toxic substances.
Information collected shows applicant compliance and eligibility for
certification by FAA. 14 CFR Part 137 prescribes requirements for
issuing agricultural aircraft operator certificates and for appropriate
operating rules. We estimate 1000 respondents with an estimated annual
burden of 14,000 hours.
4. 2120-0552, Suspected Unapproved Part Notification, FAA Form
8120-11. The information collected on the FAA Form 8120-11 will be
reported by manufacturers, repair station operators, owner/operators,
or the general public who wish to report suspected unapproved parts to
the FAA. The notification information is collected, correlated, and
used to determine if an unapproved part investigation is in fact
warranted. It is estimated that there will be 1500 respondents for an
estimated total burden of 450 hours annually.
5. 2120-0553, Transition to an all Stage 3 Fleet operating in the
48 contiguous United States and the District of Columbia. 14 CFR Part
91 implements Sections 9308 and 9309 of the Airport Noise and Capacity
Act of 1990, by establishing a schedule of reductions of Stage 2
airplanes and prohibiting their use in the contiguous U.S. after 12/31/
99. Also, it precludes the operation of airplanes in the contiguous
U.S. that were imported pursuant to contracts executed after 11/5/90.
It is estimated that there will be 230 respondents annually for an
estimated burden of 280 hours.
6. 2120-0554, Employment Standards--Parts 107 and 108 of the
Federal Aviation Regulation. Section 105 of Public Law 101-604, the
Aviation Security Improvement Act of 1990, directed the FAA to
prescribe standards for the hiring, continued employment and
contracting of air carrier and appropriate airport security personnel.
These standards were developed and have become part of 14 CFR parts 107
and 108. Airport operators will maintain at their principal business
office at least one copy of evidence of compliance with training
requirements for all employees having unescorted access privileges to
security areas. Air carrier ground security coordinators are required
to maintain at least one copy of the annual evaluation of their
security related functions. This is a recordkeeping burden and the
affected public is 450 airport operators and an estimated 815 air
carrier checkpoints. The estimated annual recordkeeping burden is
16,300 hours.
7. 2120-0571, Alcohol Misuse Prevention Program for Personnel
Engaged in Specified Aviation Activities. This regulation requires
specified aviation employers to implement an FAA-approved alcohol
misuse prevention program, (AMPP), to provide the FAA with an AMPP
certification statement, and to report annually on alcohol testing
results. The respondents are an estimated 5,300 specified aviation
employers for an estimated burden of 14,000 hours annually.
Issued in Washington, DC., on October 17, 1996.

Manager, Corporate Information Division, ABC-100.
