DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


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

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 23, 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 collection of information in order to 
evaluate the necessity of the collection, the accuracy of the agency's 
estimate of the burden, the quality, the 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. 2120-0033: Representatives of the Administrator, FAR 183. Title 
49, U.S.C., section 44702, authorizes appointment of properly qualified 
private persons to be representatives of the Administrator for 
examining, testing, and certifying airmen for the purpose of issuing 
them airmen certificates. The information collected is used to 
determine eligibility of the representatives. The current estimates 
annual reporting burden is 3,974 hours.
    2. 2120-0563: Notice and Approval of Airport Noise and Access 
Restrictions. The Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 mandates the 
formulation of a national noise policy. One part of the mandate is the 
development of a national program to review noise and access 
restrictions on the operation of Stage 2 and 3 aircraft. Respondents 
are airport operators proposing voluntary agreements and/or mandatory 
restrictions on Stage 2 and 3 aircraft operations, and aircraft 
operators that request reevaluation of a restriction. The current 
estimated annual reporting burden is 30,000 hours.
    3. 2120-0611: Associated Administrator for Commercial Space 
Transportation (AST) Customer Service Survey. The FAA Office of the 
Associated Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation conducts a 
survey to obtain industry input on the customer service standards which 
have been developed and distributed to industry customers. This is a 
requirement of the White House NPR Customer Service Initiatives. AST 
collects and analyzes the data for results. The current estimated 
annual reports burden is 300 hours.
    4. 2120-0618: Overflight billing and Collection Customer 
Information Form. This information is needed to obtain accurate billing 
information for FAA air traffic and related services for certain 
aircraft that transit U.S. controlled airspace but neither take off 
from, nor land in, the United States. The current estimated annual 
reporting burden is 50 hours.
    5. 2120-0663: Service Difficulty Report (SDR). September 15, 2000, 
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a rule amending the 
reporting requirements for air carriers and certificates domestic and 
foreign repair station operators concerning failures, malfunctions, and 
defects of aircraft, aircraft engines, systems, and components. This 
action was prompted by an internal FAA review of the effectiveness of 
the reporting system and by air carriers industry's concern over the 
quality of the data being reported. The reports submitted by 
certificate holders and certificated repair stations provide the FAA 
with airworthiness statistical data necessary for planning, directing, 
controlling, and evaluating certain assigned safety-related programs. 
The current estimated annual reporting burden associated with this 
revision is 6,107 hours.
    6. 2120-0665: Safe Disposition of Life-Limited Aircraft Parts. This 
action responds to the Wendell H. Ford Investment Reform Act for the 
21st Century by requiring that all persons who remove any life-limited 
aircraft part be required to have a method to prevent the installation 
of that part after it has reached its life limit. This action reduces 
the risk of life-limited aircraft parts being used beyond their life 
limits. This collection also requires that manufacturers of life-
limited parts provide marking instructions, when requested. The current 
estimated annual reporting burden is 52,000 hours.
