Agency Information Collection Activities; Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Report of 
Inspections Required by Airworthiness Directives

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 to renew an information 
collection. OMB has requested that this information collection request 
(ICR) be converted to a generic ICR. The Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection 
of information was published on December 7, 2012, vol. 77, no. 236, 
page 73114. 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 to 
correct the unsafe condition.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by May 20, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by

    Title: Report of Inspections Required by Airworthiness Directives.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: Title 14 CFR part 39, Airworthiness Directives (AD), 
authorized by Sec. Sec.  40113(a), 44701, and 44702 of Title 49 United 
States Code, prescribes how the FAA issues ADs. The FAA issues ADs when 
an unsafe condition is discovered on a specific aircraft type. If the 
condition is serious enough and more information is needed to develop 
corrective action, specific information may be required from aircraft 
owners/operators. If it is necessary for the aircraft manufacturer or 
airworthiness authority to evaluate the information, owners/operators 
will be instructed to send the information to them.
    Respondents: Approximately 1,120 aircraft owners/operators.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,080 hours.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of 
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to [email protected], or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and 
Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 
20503.
    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.
