SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of

soliciting comments on the following collection of information was

instructors. This submission removes reported burden associated with 
this collection but previously approved by OMB under existing control 
numbers 2120-0018, 2120-0022, 2120-0033, and 2120-0042.
