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. Comments 
should 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.
    1. 2120-0018, Certification Procedures for Products and Parts FAR 
21. 14 CFR part 21 prescribes certification procedures for aircraft, 
aircraft engines, propellers, products and parts. The information 
collected is used to determine compliance and applicant eligibility. 
The respondents are aircraft parts designers, manufacturers, and 
aircraft owners. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 
44,101 hours.
    2. 2120-0022, Certificate: Mechanics, Repairmen, Parachute Riggers, 
and Inspection Authorizations--FAR Part 65. Title 49 U.S.C. sections 
44702 and 44703 authorize the issuance of airman certificates. FAR part 
65 prescribes requirements for mechanics, repairmen, parachute riggers, 
and inspection authorizations. The information collected shows 
applicant eligibility for certification. The current estimated annual 
reporting burden is 34,432 hours.
    3. 2120-0056, Report of Inspections Required by Airworthiness 
Directives, 14 CFR Part 39. Airworthiness directives are regulations 
issued to require action to correct unsafe conditions in aircraft, 
engines, propellers, and appliances. Reports of inspections are often 
needed when emergency corrective action is taken to determine if the 
action was adequate for the unsafe condition. The respondents are 
aircraft owners and operators. The current estimated annual reporting 
burden is 2,144 hours.
    4. 2120-0067, Air Taxi and Commercial Operator Activity Survey. 
Enplanement data collected from air taxi and commercial operators are 
required for the calculation of air carrier sponsor apportionments as 
specified by the Airport Improvement Program (AIP), and 49 U.S.C. part 
A Air Commerce Safety, and part B, Airport Development and Noise. The 
current estimated annual reporting burden is 750 hours.
    5. 2120-0508, Fuel Venting and Exhaust Emission Requirements for 
Turbine Engine Powered Airplanes. Date of manufacture and compliance 
status stamped on the nameplate of each turbojet engine permit rapid 
determination by FAA inspectors, owners, and operators whether an 
engine can be legally installed and operated on an aircraft within the 
United States. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 100 
hours.
    6. 2120-0569, Airports Grants Program. The FAA collects data from 
airport sponsors and planning agencies in order to administer the 
Airports Grants Program. Data is used to determine eligibility, ensure 
proper use of Federal finds and ensure project accomplishments. The 
current estimated annual reporting burden is 67,714 hours.
    7. 2120-0631, Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS). This 
rule mandates that all turbine powered airplanes of 6 or more passenger 
seating carry a Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS). TAWS is a 
passive, electronic safety device located in the airplane's avionics 
bay. TAWS alerts pilots when there is terrain the airplane's flight 
path. Since this is a 100% passive and electronic collection, the 
estimated annual hourly reporting burden is estimated at the minimum of 
1 hour.
