Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Approximately 6.5 hours per 

response. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 52,000 hours annually. 

Abstract: This action responds to the 

Wendall H. Ford Investment and Reform 

Act for the 21st Century by requiring 

that all persons who remove any lifelimited aircraft part have a method to 

prevent the installation of that part after 

it has reached its life limit. This action 

reduces the risk of life-limited parts 

being used beyond their life limits. This 

action would also require that 

manufacturers of life-limited parts 

provide marking instructions, when 

requested. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget. Comments should be addressed 

to Nathan Lesser, Desk Officer, 

Department of Transportation/FAA, and 

sent via electronic mail to 

oira_submission@omb.eop.gov or faxed 

to (202) 395–6974. 

Comments are invited on: Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimates of the 

burden of the proposed information 

collection; ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

Federal Aviation Administration 

Consensus Standards, Light-Sport 

Aircraft 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of two new consensus 

standards and revisions to certain 

previously accepted consensus 

standards relating to the provisions of 

the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft 

rule issued July 16, 2004, and effective 

September 1, 2004. ASTM International 

Committe F37 on Light Sport Aircraft 

developed the new and revised 

standards with Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) participation. By 

this Notice, the FAA finds the new and 

revised standards acceptable for 

certification of the specified aircraft 

under the provisions of the Sport Pilot 

and Light-Sport Aircraft rule. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 5, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed 

to: Federal Aviation Administration, 

Small Airplane Directorate, Programs 

and Procedures Branch, ACE–114, 

Attention: Larry Werth, Room 301, 901 

Locust, Kansas City, Missouri 64106. 

Comments may also be e-mailed to: 

Comments-on-LSA-Standard@faa.gov. 

All comments must be marked: 

Consensus Standards Comments, and 

must specify the standard being 

addressed by ASTM designation and 

title.

Program Manager, Programs and 

Procedures Branch (ACE–114), Small

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces the availability of two 

new consensus standards and revisions 

to certain previously accepted 

consensus standards relating to the 

provisions of the Sport Pilot and LightSport Aircraft rule. ASTM International 

Committee F37 on Light Sport Aircraft 

developed the new and revised 

standards. 

Comments Invited: Interested persons 

are invited to submit such written data, 

views, or arguments, as they may desire. 

Communications should identify the 

consensus standard number and be 

submitted to the address specified 

above. All communications received on 

or before the closing date for comments 

will be forwarded to ASTM 

International Committee F37 for 

consideration. The standard may be 

changed in light of the comments 

received. The FAA will address all 

comments received during the recurring 

review of the consensus standard and 

will participate in the consensus 

standard revision process. 

Background: Under the provisions of 

the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft 

rule, and revised Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) Circular A–119, 

‘‘Federal Participation in the 

Development and Use of Voluntary 

Consensus Standards and in Conformity 

Assessment Activities’’, dated February 

10, 1998, industry and the FAA have 

been working with ASTM International 

to develop consensus standards for 

light-sport aircraft. These consensus 

standards satisfy the FAA’s goal for 

airworthiness certification and a 

verifiable minimum safety level for 

light-sport aircraft. Instead of 

developing airworthiness standards 

through the rulemaking process, the 

FAA participates as a member of 

Committee F37 in developing these 

standards. The use of the consensus 

standard process assures government 

and industry discussion and agreement 

on appropriate standards for the 

required level of safety. 

Comments on Previous Notices of 

Availability 

In the Notice of Availability (NOA) 

issued on December 29, 2005, and 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 12, 2006, the FAA asked for 

public comments on the new and 

revised consensus standards accepted 

by that NOA. The comment period 

closed on March 13, 2006. The preamble 

to the Sport Pilot and Light-Sport 

Aircraft Rule states,
