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 information to be collected is necessary to insure the 
safety of the flying public. Documentation of maintenance repair 
actions record who, what, when, where and how of the task performed. 
This collection focuses on the Form 337 which is collected by the FAA. 
Other records for preventative maintenance, and logbook entries are not 
collected by the FAA serve as a responsibility of the owner to maintain 
in case of verification of airworthiness when seeking approvals or sale 
of the aircraft. This insures proper certification of personnel; proper 
tooling is utilized and accurate measures to insure safety. Total Form 
337s submitted in 2017 is 54,237. Total aircraft registrations on file 
is 289,490. It is estimated by the numbers collected one in every five 
aircraft have a 337 form submitted for major alteration and repairs 
performed. Each 337 takes approximately 1 hour.
