DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Notice of Intent To Request Renewal From the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) of Four 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 four currently approved 
public information collections which will be submitted to OMB for 
renewal.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 27, 2003.

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. 2120-0045: Bird/Other Wildlife Strike. Wildlife strike data are 
collected to develop standards and monitor hazards to aviation. Data 
identify wildlife strike control requirements and provide in-service 
data on aircraft component failure. The respondents would include the 
pilot-in-command of an aircraft involved in an aircraft-wildlife 
collision, ATCT personnel, or other airport or airline personnel who 
have knowledge of the incident. The current estimated annual reporting 
burden is 400 hours.
    2. 2120-0557: Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Application. 49 
U.S.C. 40117 authorizes airports to impose passenger facility charges. 
This program requires public agencies and certain members of the 
aviation industry to

prepare and submit applications and reports to the FAA. This program 
provides additional funding for airport development which is needed now 
and in the future. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 
26,292 hours.
    3. 2120-0614: Revised Standards for Cargo or Baggage Compartments 
in Transport category Airplanes. The information collection from part 
121 carriers is necessary to ensure the operator's compliance to the 
upgrade of the fire safety standards for cargo or baggage compartments 
in certain transport category airplanes by eliminating Class D 
compartments. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 720 
hours.
    4. 2120-0616: revisions to Digital Flight Data Recorders. This rule 
requires that certain airplanes be equipped to accommodate additional 
digital flight data recorder parameters. The revisions require 
additional information to be collected to enable more thorough accident 
or incident investigations and to enable the industry to predict 
certain trends and make necessary modifications before an accident or 
incident happens. This is a passive information collection activity, 
and the assigned hourly burden is 1 hour.
