DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of New Approval of Information Collection: Activation of Ice 
Protection Rule--Flight Manual Requirements

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information collection. 
This Paperwork Reduction Act collection is a recordkeeping requirement 
imposed by the new rule ``Part 121 Activation of Ice Protection''. The 
NPRM for that rule was published in the Federal Register on November 
23, 2009 (74 FR 61055).

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 24, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Jones on (425) 227 1234, or by 
e-mail at: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-XXXX.
    Title: Activation of Ice Protection Rule--Flight Manual 
Requirements.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Clearance of a new information collection.
    Background: To address NTSB safety recommendation A-07-14 as well 
as the FAA Icing Plan A, and to increase the standard of safety 
associated with flight in icing conditions, the FAA is issuing a rule 
for certain airplanes to ensure that pilots will activate their ice 
protection systems in a timely way. This new rule requires procedures 
for activation of ice protection, and thus may require operators to 
revise their airplane flight manual (AFM) or the manual required by 
Sec.  121.133. Adding these new procedures may require the addition of 
a page or two to the AFM. This is classified as a record keeping item. 
No data will be collected. The rule that will require this information 
is 14 CFR 121.321.
    Respondents: 8 airplane operators.
    Frequency: One-time requirement.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 16 hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Carla 
Scott, Room 336, Federal Aviation Administration, AES-300, 950 L'Enfant 
Plaza SW., Washington, DC 20024.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collection; and (d) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 18, 2011.

FAA Information Collection Clearance Officer, IT Enterprises Business 
Services Division, AES-200.
