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.
