AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; OMB approval of information collection.

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

SUMMARY: This document announces the Office of Management and Budget's 
(OMB's) approval of the information collection requirement contained in 
the FAA's final rule, ``Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for the 
Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft; Modifications to Rules for Sport 
Pilots and Flight Instructors With a Sport Pilot Rating,'' which was 
published on February 1, 2010.

DATES: The final rule published on February 1, 2010, became effective 
on April 2, 2010. However, because it contained information collection 
requirements, compliance with the provisions contained in Sec.  91.417 
(a) was not required until those collection requirements are approved. 
This document announces that OMB approval was received on July 7, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 1, 2010, the final rule, 
``Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for the Operation of Light-Sport 
Aircraft; Modifications to Rules for Sport Pilots and Flight 
Instructors With a Sport Pilot Rating'' was published in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 5204). In that rule, the FAA amended its requirements 
for sport pilots and flight instructors with a sport pilot rating to 
address airman certification and operational issues that arose after 
regulations for the certification of aircraft and airmen for the 
operation of light-sport aircraft were implemented in 2004.
    In the DATES section of the final rule, the FAA noted that affected 
parties were not required to comply with the new information collection 
requirements in Sec.  91.417 (incorrectly referenced in the DATES 
section as Sec.  91.419) until OMB approved the FAA's request to 
collect the information. Paragraph (a) of Sec.  91.417 contained a new 
requirement for owners and operators of special light-sport aircraft 
(SLSA) to retain a record of the current status of applicable safety 
directives and transfer that information at the time of the sale of 
that aircraft. That information collection requirement had not been 
approved by OMB at the time of publication.
    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the FAA submitted a 
copy of the new information collection requirements to OMB for its 
review. OMB approved the collection on July 7, 2010, and assigned the 
information collection OMB Control Number 2120-0730, which expires on 
July 31, 2013.
    This document is being published to inform affected parties of the 
approval, and to announce that the new information collection 
requirement of Sec.  91.417 (a) became effective on July 7, 2010.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on July 15, 2010.
Pamela Hamilton-Powell,
Director, Office of Rulemaking.
