DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Notice of Intent To Request Renewal From the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) of Five Current Public Collections of Information

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.), the FAA invites public comment on five currently approved 
public information collections which will be submitted to OMB for 
renewal.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 1, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed or delivered to the FAA at the 
following address: Ms. Judy Street, Room 613, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Standards and Information Division, APF-100, 800 
Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Judy Street at the above address 
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. 2120-0003, Malfunction or Defect Report. Collection of this 
information permits the FAA to evaluate its certification standards, 
maintenance programs, and regulatory requirements since their 
effectiveness is reflected in the number of equipment failures or the 
lack thereof. It is also the basis for issuance of Airworthiness 
Directives designed to prevent unsafe conditions or accidents. The 
affected public includes aircraft and repair station operators. The 
current estimated annual reporting burden is 6,935 hours.
    2. 2120-0027, Application for Certificate of Waiver or 
Authorization. Part A of Subtitle VII of the Revised Title 49 United 
States Code authorizes the issuance of regulations governing the use of 
navigable airspace. 14 CFR 91, 101, and 105 prescribe regulations 
governing the general operation and flight of aircraft, moored 
balloons, kites, unmanned rockets, unmanned free balloons, and 
parachute jumping. Applicants are individual airmen, state and local 
governments, and businesses who have a need to deviate from the 
provisions of these regulations. The current estimated annual reporting 
burden is 12,202 hours.
    3. 2120-0507, Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 36, 
Development of Major Repair Data. SFAR 36 (to part 121) relieves 
qualifying applicants (Aircraft Maintenance, Commercial Aviation, 
Aircraft Repair Stations, Air Carriers, Air Taxi, and Commercial 
Operators) of the burden to obtain FAA approval of data developed by 
them for major repairs on a case-by-case basis, and provides for one-
time approvals. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 530 
hours.
    4. 2120-0574, Aviation Safety Counselor of the Year Competition. 
The form is used to select nominees for recognition of their volunteer 
services to the FAA. The agency will use the information on the form to 
select nine regional winners and one national winner among private 
citizens involved in aviation. The current estimated annual reporting 
burden is 180 hours.
    5. 2120-0644, License Requirements for Operation of a Launch Site. 
The information to be collected includes data required for performing 
launch site location analyses. This data is necessary in order to 
demonstrate to the Associate Administrator for Space Transportation/FAA 
that the proposed activity meets applicable public safety, national 
security, and foreign policy interests of the United States. A launch 
site is valid for a period of five years. Respondents are licensees 
authorized to operate sites. The current estimated annual reporting 
burden is 1592 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on January 24, 2002.

Manager, Standards and Information Division, APF-100.
