DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), the FAA invites public comment on six currently approved
public information collections which will be submitted to OMB for
renewal.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 9, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Comments on any of these collections may be mailed or
delivered to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Judith Street, Room
612, 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 six, currently approved public information
collection activities, which will be submitted to OMB for review and
renewal:
1. 2120-0033, Representatives of the Administrator, FAR 183. Title
49, U.S.C., Section 44702, authorizes appointment of properly qualified
private persons to be representatives of the Administrator for
examining, testing, and certifying airmen for the purpose of issuing
them airmen certificates. The information collected is used to
determine eligibility of the representatives. There is an estimate of
8,500 respondents who will take an hour or less to prepare the
appropriate application form for the job for which they are applying.
This submission will no longer cover the application for airmen medical
examiners since that reporting burden now has its own OMB control
number of 2120-0604.
2. 2120-0045, Bird Strike Incident/Ingestion Report. Bird strike
data are collected to develop standards and monitor hazards to
aviation. Data identify bird strike control requirements and provide
in-service data on aircraft component failure. We estimate 2000
incident reports annually at approximately 5 minutes per report.
3. 2120-0557, Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program. The Aviation
Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-508) authorizes
airports to impose passenger facility charges. FAR Part 158
recordkeeping/reporting requirements affect two groups of respondents--
air carriers and public agencies. It is estimated that there will be
100 respondents and the total would be 50,000 hours annually.
4. 2120-0559, FAA Research and Development Grants. The FAA Aviation
Research and Development Grants Program establishes uniform policies
and procedures for the award and administration of research grants to
colleges, universities, not-for-profit organizations, and profit
organizations for security research. This program implements OMB
Circular A-110,
[[Page 17277]]
Public Law 101-508, Section 9205, 9208 and Public Law 101-604, Section
107(d). We estimate that we will have 200 respondents per year for an
average of 2800 burden hours.
5. 2120-0563, Notice and Approval of Airport Noise and Access
Restrictions--Part 161. The Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990,
Public Law 101-508, mandates the formulation of a national noise
policy. One part of that mandate is the development of a national
program to review noise and access restrictions on the operation of
State 2 and Stage 3 aircraft. Respondents are airport operators
proposing voluntary agreements and/or mandatory restrictions on Stage 2
and Stage 3 aircraft operations and aircraft operators that request
reevaluation of a restriction. There is an estimated 18 respondents
with an average annual burden of 32,000 hours.
6. 2120-0585, Flight Attendant Duty Limitations and Rest
Requirements. This is a recordkeeping requirement on air carriers
operating under parts 121, 125, and 135. The recordkeeping will enable
the Administrator of the FAA to verify that each airline is in
compliance with the flight attendant duty/rest regulations. The
information is used to ensure that flight attendants receive sufficient
rest to perform safety duties onboard airplanes. There is an estimated
180 affected air carriers for a total recordkeeping burden of
approximately 104,000 hours annually.
Issued in Washington, DC., on April 3, 1997.
