Designation Authorization (ODA) Survey

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. 
The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting 
comments on the following collection of information was published on 
February 4, 2020. The collection involves a survey of Organization 
Designation Authorization (ODA) holders and ODA program applicants to 
document and assess FAA certification and oversight activities. The 
information to be collected is necessary because it is required of the 
FAA per Section 213 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 9, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

[email protected]; phone: 816-329-4143.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-XXXX.
    Title: FAA Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) Survey.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on February 4, 2020 (85 FR 6528). Section 213 of the FAA 
Reauthorization Act of 2018 requires FAA to establish an Expert Panel 
comprised of ODA holders, aviation manufacturers, safety experts, and 
FAA labor organizations. The Panel is instructed in the Act to conduct 
a survey, ``of ODA holders and ODA program applicants to document and 
assess FAA certification and oversight activities, including the use of 
the ODA program and the timeliness and efficiency of the certification 
process.'' The survey's purpose will be to provide information of 
whether ODA processes and procedures function as intended, and such 
information will be incorporated into the Expert Panel's report of 
assessment and recommendations. To accomplish this survey, the FAA will 
use an online survey, rather than a paper-based system, to reduce the 
burden on respondents and ensure centralized protection and control of 
the responses. Respondents taking the survey can do so anonymously.

[[Page 63643]]

    Respondents: We anticipate an 80% participation rate from a 
respondent pool of approximately 82 ODA holders and applicants, 
estimated to about 66 respondents.
    Frequency: We plan to distribute the survey one time to support the 
requirement described in Section 213 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 
2018.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2.5 hours to complete, 7.5 
hours coordination, total 10 hrs.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 660 Hours total (220 annualized for 
the 3-year approval window).
