Title: Reporting of Information Using Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin.

Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.

Background: A SAIB is an information tool that the FAA uses to alert, educate, and make recommendations to the aviation community about ways to improve the safety of a product.

An SAIB may include recommended actions or inspections with a request for voluntary reporting of inspection results.

Respondents: Respondents may include mechanics, type clubs, owners, and operators of aircraft.

Frequency: Information is collected as needed to acquire additional information on a specific condition.

Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
