Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY:

The FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve a current information collection. This action responds to the Wendell H. Ford Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century by requiring that all persons who remove any life-limited aircraft part have a method to prevent the installation of that part after it has reached its life limit.

DATES:

Please submit comments by October 10, 2006.

Title: Safe Disposition of Life-Limited Aircraft Parts.

Type of Request: Revision of an approved collection.

OMB Control Number: 2120-0665.

Form(s): There are no FAA forms associated with this collection.

Affected Public: A total of 8,000 Respondents.

Frequency: The information is collected as needed.

Estimated Average Burden Per Response: Approximately 1.04 hours per response.

Abstract: This action responds to the Wendell H. Ford Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century by requiring that all persons who remove any life-limited aircraft part have a method to prevent the installation of that part after it has reached its life limit. This action reduces the risk of life limited parts being used beyond their life limits. This action would also require that manufacturers of life parts provide marking instructions, when requested.
