SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 15, 2006, the FAA published the final rule, Human Space 
Flight Requirements for Crew and Space Flight Participants, in the 
Federal Register. The rule established requirements for human space 
flight as required by the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 
2004. In the DATES section of the final rule, we noted that affected 
parties did not need to comply with the information collection 
requirements in specified sections of the rule until the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approved the FAA's request to collect the 
information.
    According to the Paperwork Reduction Act, OMB approved the FAA's 
request for new information collection on April 16, 2007, and assigned 
the information collection OMB Control Number 2120-0720. The

control number was not available when the final rule was published, 
thus necessitating publication of this notice. The FAA request was 
approved by OMB without change and expires on April 30, 2010.

44705, 44709-44711, 44713, 44716-44717, 44722, 46105, grants authority 
to the Administrator to publish this notice. The final rule (71 FR 
75616) became effective on February 13, 2007 and the compliance date 
for information collection requirements in Sec. Sec.  460.5, 460.7, 
460.9, 460.19, 460.45, and 460.49 is May 17, 2007.
