Clearance of New Approval of 

Information Collection: Critical Parts 

for Airplane Propellers 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

ACTION: Notice and request for

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 Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is amending the 

airworthiness standards for airplane 

propellers. This action will define what 

a propeller critical part is, require the 

identification of propeller critical parts 

by the manufacturer, and establish 

engineering, manufacture, and 

maintenance processes for those parts. 

These processes will be required to be 

recorded and maintained within 

company manuals. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by March 29, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA 

at the following address: Ms. Kathy 

DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation

manufacture critical parts for airplane 

propellers update their manuals to 

record engineering, manufacture, and 

maintenance processes for propeller 

critical parts. There are currently three 

U.S. companies who will be required to 

revise their manuals to include these 

processes. 

Respondents: Three manufacturers. 

Frequency: This is a one time 

requirement. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 40 hours.
