Federal Aviation Administration

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Suspected 
Unapproved Parts Notification

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 information collected on the FAA Form 8120-11 is 
reported voluntarily by manufacturers, repair stations, aircraft owner/
operators, air carriers, and the general public who wish to report 
suspected unapproved parts to the FAA for review. The report 
information is collected and correlated by the FAA, Aviation Safety 
Hotline Program Office, and used to determine if an unapproved part 
investigation is warranted.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by December 21, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ronda 
Thompson, Room 300, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 950 
L'Enfant Plaza SW., Washington, DC 20024.
    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. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronda Thompson at (202) 267-1416, or 
by email at: Ronda.Thompson@faa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0552.
    Title: Suspected Unapproved Parts Notification.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 8120-11.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The information collected on the FAA Form 8120-11 is 
reported voluntarily by manufacturers, repair stations, aircraft owner/
operators, air carriers, and the general public who wish to report 
suspected unapproved parts to the FAA for review. The report 
information is collected and correlated by the FAA, Aviation Safety 
Hotline Program Office, and used to determine if an unapproved part 
investigation is warranted. When unapproved parts are confirmed that 
are likely to exist on other products or aircraft of the same or 
similar design or are being used in other facilities, the information 
is used as a basis for an aviation industry alert or notification. 
Alerts are used to inform industry of situations essential to the 
prevention of accidents, if the information had not been collected. The 
consequence to the aviation community would be the inability to 
determine whether or not unapproved parts are being offered for sale or 
use for installation on type-certificated products.
    Respondents: Approximately 150 manufactures, repair stations, 
aircraft owners/operators, and air carriers.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 75 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on October 14, 2015.

FAA Information Collection Clearance Officer, IT Enterprises Business 
Services Division, ASP-110.
