collections of information in order to evaluate the necessity of the 
collection, the accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden, the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected, and 
possible ways to minimize the burden of collection. Also note, that an 
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.
    Following are short synopses of the four information collection 
activities that will be submitted to OMB for requests for renewal:
    1. 2120-005, General Operating and Flight rules--FAR 91. Part A of 
Subtitle VII of the revised Title 49 U.S.C. authorizes the issuance of 
regulations governing the use of navigable airspace. The reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements of 14 CFR part 91 prescribe rules governing 
the operation of aircraft (other than moored balloons, kites, rockets 
and unmanned free balloons) within the United States. The reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements prescribed by various sections of Part 91 
are necessary for FAA to ensure compliance with these provisions. The 
respondents are individual airmen, state or local governments, and 
businesses. The current estimated annual burden is 230,000 hours.
    2. 2120-0517, Airport Noise Compatibility Planning 14 CFR part 150. 
FAA approval makes airport operators' noise compatibility programs 
eligible for a 10 percent set-aside of discretionary grant funds under 
the FAA Airport Improvement Program. The respondents are an estimated 
17 state and local governments (airport operators). The current 
estimated annual burden is 54, 9000 hours.
    3. 2120-0638, Security Programs for Foreign Air Carriers, 14 CFR 
part 129. The security programs identify the procedures to be used by 
air carriers in carrying out their responsibilities under the law to 
protect persons and property on an aircraft operating in air 
transportation, intrastate air transportation, and flights to/from the 
United States against acts of criminal violence and aircraft piracy. 
The respondents are foreign air carriers. The current estimated annual 
burden is 5,200 hours.
    4. 2120-0669, Flight Data Recorder Resolution Requirements. The 
information will be used by the FAA to track compliance with the 
underlying regulation, 14 CFR 121.344 et al, and to determine who will 
be affected by any subsequent FAA action to resolve the problems 
described by the manufacturer. The respondents are an estimated 50 
aircraft operators, and the current estimated annual burden is 67 
hours.
