Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of Renewed Approval of 

Information Collection: Aircraft 

Registration Renewal 

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. Aircraft owners are required 

to complete the Aircraft Registration 

Renewal to verify the registration 

information and renew registration 

triennially. The information collected 

on an Aircraft Re-Registration 

Application, AC Form 8050–1A and an 

Aircraft Registration Renewal 

Application, AC Form 8050–1B, will be 

used by the FAA to verify and update 

aircraft registration information 

collected for an aircraft when it was first 

registered. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by April 16, 2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954–9362, or by 

email at: Kathy.A.DePaepe@faa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0729. 

Title: Aircraft Re-Registration and 

Registration Renewal. 

Form Numbers: AC Forms 8050–1A 

and 8050–1B. 

Type of Review: Renewal of an 

information collection. 

Background: The information 

collected on an Aircraft Re-Registration 

Application (AC Form 8050–1A) and 

Aircraft Registration Renewal 

Application (AC Form 8050–1B) will be 

used by the FAA to verify and update 

the aircraft registration information 

collected for an aircraft when it was first 

registered. 

The updated registration database will 

then be used by the FAA to monitor and 

control U.S. airspace and to distribute 

safety notices and airworthiness 

directives to aircraft owners. Law 

enforcement and national security 

agencies will use the database to 

support drug interdiction and activities 

related to national security. 

Respondents: Approximately 121,660 

aircraft owners. 

Frequency: Information is collected 

triennially.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Non-Destructive Inspection 

Protocol for Reinforced Concrete 

Highway Barriers and Bridge Railings. 

Background: Highway barriers and 

bridge railings serve to prevent errant 

vehicles from departing the travelway at 

grade separations. Most bridge railings 

are made of reinforced concrete. Despite 

the important role that they play in 

maintaining safety and their ubiquitous 

nature, barrier inspection rarely moves 

beyond visual inspection. In August of 

2008, tractor-trailer dislodged a section 

of barrier on the William Preston Lane, 

Jr. Memorial Bridge. Portions of the 

displaced barrier separated and the 

tractor-trailer fatally departed the 

bridge. Investigations following the 

accident identified significant corrosion 

of the anchor bolts attaching the bridge 

railing to the bridge deck. 

As a result of the information 

gathered during its investigation of the 

accident, the National Transportation 

Safety Board (NTSB) made 

recommendations to the Federal 

Highway Administration concerning 

Non-Destructive Evaluation of concrete 

bridge railings. One of these 

recommendations (H–10–18) is as 

follows: 

Expand the research and development of 

nondestructive evaluation technologies to 

develop bridge inspection methods that 

augment visual inspections; offer reliable 

measurement techniques; and are practical, 

both in terms of time and cost, for field 

inspection work; and promote the use of 

these technologies by bridge owners. 

The barrier on the Preston Lane, Jr. 

Memorial Bridge was unique in that the 

anchor bolts connecting the barrier to 

the deck were exposed. This exposure 

allowed inspection of the remaining 

anchor bolts directly using ultrasonic 

testing. In contrast, most barriers have 

configurations where the steel 

anchorage is completely embedded in 

the deck and barrier. Most reinforced 

concrete barriers are anchored to the 

deck of a bridge or retaining wall using 

reinforcing steel protruding from the 

main structure or by anchored bars or 

bolts during retrofits. Corrosion of steel 

bars or bolts can weaken this attachment 

and reduce the capacity of the barrier. 

The most direct damage resulting from 

corrosion is the reduction of steel 

diameter and cross-sectional area. Steel 

corrosion in concrete is caused 

primarily by two reasons: chloride 

induced corrosion and carbonation 

induced corrosion. Barriers are 

generally located at or very near the 

gutter-line of a roadway and may have 

significant long-term exposure to 

corrosive deicing materials. 

It is beyond the capacity of visual 

inspection to identify and evaluate 

concrete voids and corrosion of 

anchorage mechanisms embedded in 

concrete. A literature review revealed 

that some promising research has been 

done using NDE methods to evaluate 

reinforced concrete and the embedded 

steel reinforcement. 

Effective corrosion detection methods 

are just one piece of the barrier and 

railing maintenance puzzle. 

Identification of when to use advanced 

NDE tools as well as to what level the 

capacity is likely impacted by the 

measured deterioration will be 

examined as a part of this project. In 

order to most effectively investigate the 

correct barrier and railing designs, it 

was noted that input from the state 

DOTs was required. Thus, a survey to 

determine what protocols for design, 

fabrication, installation, and inspection 

was created and should be disseminated 

to the 50 state DOTs and also to the DC 

and Puerto Rico DOTs. 

Respondents: All 50 state DOTs and 

also DC and Puerto Rico DOTs. 52 total. 

Frequency: Once.
