Agency Information Collection Activity Under OMB Review

AGENCY: Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration 
(DOT/FAA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.) this notice announces that the information collection request 
described below has been forwarded to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review. The FAA is requesting an emergency clearance 
by August 15, 1997, in accordance with 5 CFR Sec. 1320.13. The 
following information describes the nature of the information 
collection and its expected burden.

DATES: Submit any comments to OMB and FAA by October 10, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Survey of Domestic and Foreign Repair Stations.
    Need: The FAA plans to conduct a survey of domestic and foreign 
repair stations. The House Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure has proposed Part 145 legislation ``Aircraft Repair 
Stations Safety Act of 1997'' (and sister bill being introduced in the 
Senate) to revoke the 1988 amendment to FAR Part 145, thereby 
subjecting foreign repair stations to the same requirements as domestic 
repair stations. In order to address issues raised by the Committee, 
the FAA plans to conduct a study which will include an economic 
analysis of domestic and foreign repair stations to determine whether 
maintenance jobs are being moved overseas at a more rapid rate than 
work is coming into the U.S. The survey will provide real data to be 
used in the analysis.
    Respondents: 449 repair stations.
    Frequency: One time.
    Burden: 898 hours.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Or to obtain a copy of the request for 
clearance submitted to OMB, you may contact Ms. Judith Street at the: 
Federal Aviation Administration, Corp. Information Division, ABC-100, 
800 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20591.
    Comments may be submitted to the agency at the address above and 
to: Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management 
and Budget, Room 10202, Attention FAA Desk Officer, 725 17th Street, 
NW, Washington, DC 20503.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 5, 1997.
