Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection

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 April 8, 2025. The collection involves information 
collected which will be used by air carriers and by the FAA to 
adequately target its inspection resources for surveillance and make 
accurate risk assessments.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 28, 2025.

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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Greg Young by email at:

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: 2120-0766.
    Title: Air Carrier Contract Maintenance Requirements.
    Form Numbers: There are no forms associated with this collection.
    Type of Review: This is a renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on April 8, 2025, FR Doc. 2025-05966. Air carrier 
maintenance has evolved from mostly an ``in-house'' operation to an 
extended network of maintenance providers that fulfill contracts with 
air carriers to perform their aircraft maintenance. Any person 
performing maintenance for an air carrier must follow the air carrier's 
maintenance manual. The FAA has found that,

[[Page 27752]]

although an air carrier is required to list its maintenance providers 
and a general description of the work to be done in its maintenance 
manual, these lists are not always kept up to date, are not always 
complete, and are not always in a format that is readily useful for FAA 
oversight and analysis purposes. Without accurate and complete 
information on the work being performed for air carriers, the FAA 
cannot adequately target its inspection resources for surveillance and 
make accurate risk assessments. This collection of information supports 
regulatory requirements necessary under 14 CFR part 121 and part 135 to 
ensure safety of flight by requiring air carriers to provide a list 
that includes the name and physical (street) address, or addresses, 
where the work is carried out for each maintenance provider that 
performs work for the certificate holder, and a description of the type 
of maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alteration that is to be 
performed at each location. The list must be updated with any changes, 
including additions or deletions, and the updated list provided to the 
FAA in a format acceptable to the FAA by the last day of each calendar 
month. This collection also supports the FAA's strategic goal to 
provide to the next level of safety, by achieving the lowest possible 
accident rate and always improving safety, so all users of our aviation 
system can arrive safely at their destinations.
    Respondents: 303 air carriers (62 Part 121 air carriers and 241 
part 135 air carriers).
    Frequency: Monthly.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Eight hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,424 hours.

    Issued in Des Moines, WA. On June 24th, 2025.
William G. Young,
Aviation Safety Inspector, Flight Standards, Aircraft Maintenance 
Division, Commercial Aviation Group.
