international airline operation of U.S. carriers. The information to be 
collected upholds the U.S. obligations under the Convention on 
International Civil Aviation and for which FAA policy comply with 
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards and

    Title: Aircraft Noise Certification Documents for International 
Operations.
    Form Numbers: None. Reference: ICAO Annex 16, Vol. 1--Aircraft 
Noise, Eighth edition (July 2017) Attachment G for format.
    Type of Review: 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 May 8, 2023 (88 FR 29801). On March 2, 2010, the FAA 
published the final rule Notice No. 91-312, Aircraft Noise 
Certification Documents for International Operations (75 FR 9327). It 
requires operators that fly outside the United States, using aircraft 
subject to ICAO, Annex 16, Volume 1, to carry aircraft noise 
certification information on board the aircraft. This collection is 
needed to ensure consistent international compliance with the ICAO, 
Annex 16, Volume 1, Amendment 8 that requires certain noise information 
be carried on board the aircraft. This information must be easily 
accessible to the flight crew and presentable upon request to the 
appropriate foreign National Aviation Authority (NAA) officials. The 
collection is mandatory based on U.S. regulations and international 
standards.
    Respondents: Operators of U.S. registered civil aircraft flying 
outside the United States.
    Frequency: 75 airplanes.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 25 minutes (0.42 hours).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: $30 per airplane x 75 airplanes 
affected = $2,250.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on February 7, 2024.

Engineer, Noise Division, Office of Environment and Energy, Noise 
Division (AEE-100).
