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. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was 
published on December 4, 2014. 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 
with reporting requirements to OMB for approval prior to their release.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by March 12, 2015.

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.

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: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on December 4, 2014 (79 FR 72054). 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 February 4, 2015.

FAA Assistant Information Collection Clearance Officer, IT Enterprises
