or on (202) 267-9895.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, 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. Therefore, the FAA solicits 
comments on the following 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 in preparation for submission to renew the 
clearances of the following information collections.
    1. 2120-0024, Dealer's Aircraft Registration Certificate 
Application. An individual or company engaged in manufacturing, 
distributing, or selling aircraft who wants to fly those aircraft with 
a dealer's certificate must fill out an application to provide a basis 
for the issuance of such certificates. A conveyance examiner with the 
FAA Aircraft Registry reviews the application to ensure that it is 
completely and properly filled out. The current estimated annual 
reporting burden is 2,187 hours.
    2. 2120-0042, Aircraft Registration. The information requested is 
used by the FAA to register an aircraft or hold an aircraft in trust. 
The information required to register and prove ownership of an aircraft 
is required by any person wishing to register an aircraft. The current 
annual reporting burden is 67,153 hours.
    3. 2120-0063, Certification of Airports. To operate certain air 
carriers, a person must obtain and maintain an Airport Operating 
Certificate. The application initiates the certification process, 
including airport inspection and documentation of safe airport 
operations and equipment. The certification remains valid if safety 
standards are maintained as verified by inspections, records, and 
reports. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 174,151 
hours.
    4. 2120-0514, War Risk Insurance. The FAA requires the information 
submitted by applicants for Chapter 443 insurance to determine the 
reasonableness of the terms and conditions on which commercial

[[Page 57150]]

insurance is available, assess the risks for which insurance coverage 
is being sought, and determine what risks of aircraft operators are 
customarily covered by insurance. The requested information is included 
in air carriers' applications for insurance when insurance is not 
available from private sources. The current estimated annual reporting 
burden is 68 hours.
    5. 2120-0570, Simulator Rule/14 CFR Part 142, Certified Training 
Centers. To determine regulatory compliance, there is a need for airmen 
to maintain records of certain training and recentness of experience; 
there is a need for training centers to maintain records of students 
trained, employee qualification and training, and training program 
approvals. Information is used to determine compliance with airmen 
certification and testing standards to ensure safety. The current 
estimated annual reporting burden is 6,000 hours.
    6. 2120-0595, Federal Acquisition Administration Acquisition 
Management System (FAAAMS). The collection of information requirements 
arise from various sections of FAAAMS. Pursuant to section 348 of 
Public Law 104-50, this information is required to carry out the 
provisions of the newly reformed FAA acquisition process. Information 
is used to acquire, award, and administer contracts. The current 
estimated annual reporting burden is 170,073 hours.
    7. 2120-0641, Parachute Accident Reporting. 14 CFR part 105 
prescribes the packing of main and auxiliary parachutes used for sport 
jumping. This information is used by the FAA for recommendations for 
equipment changes, operating procedures, or training to aid aviation 
safety inspectors in accident prevention and surveillance. The FAA is 
better able to monitor trends that lead to accidents/incidents and 
provide the necessary guidance to avert such tragedies. The current 
estimated annual reporting burden is 44 hours.
    8. 2120-0642, NPRM ``Security of Checked Baggage on Flights Within 
the United States''. In accordance federal regulations governing the 
security of part 108 air carrier operations and the recommendation of 
the Department of Justice, air carriers provide information regarding 
procedures to be used 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 and from 
the United States against acts of criminal violence and aircraft 
safety. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 5,045 hours.
    9. 2120-0643, Commercial Space Transportation Reusable Launch 
Vehicle Reentry Licensing Regulations. The required information, that 
is, data required for performing a safety review, is used to determine 
whether applicants satisfy requirements for obtaining a launch license 
to protect the public from risks associated with reentry operations 
from a site not operated by or situated on a Federal launch range. The 
respondents are those applying for a launch site license. The current 
estimated annual reporting burden is 4,384 hours.
