SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

    Title: Survey of Domestic and Foreign Repair Stations.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0617.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: 449 Repair Stations.
    Abstract: 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 1998 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.
    Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 898 hours.
    Addressee: Send comments to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention FAA Desk Officer.
    Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize 
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
