DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


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. Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are regulations issued to 
require correct corrective 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. The 
respondents are aircraft owners and operators. Currently, FAA has 
blanket Paperwork Reduction Act approval from OMB for all ADs with 
information collection requirements. Per OMB's request, this collection 
is being converted to a generic information collection request, which 
will require FAA to submit individual ADs to OMB for approval prior to 
their release.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by February 2, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Kathy 
DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation Administration, AES-200, 6500 S. 
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169.
    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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by 
email at: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0056.
    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; conversion to 
generic information collection request.
    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.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on December 1, 2014.
