SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0056.
    Title: Report of Inspections Required by Airworthiness Directives, 
Part 39.
    Form Numbers: There is no standard form to use for AMOC submission. 
However, the public may access the ADD External website to submit an 
AMOC request to the FAA.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC) are submitted 
to the FAA by the general public. While anyone may submit an AMOC there 
is no standard form to use. From Order 8110.103B Alternative Methods of 
Compliance (AMOC), Section 32:
    3-2. AMOC Proposal. 14 CFR 39.19 states in part that ``anyone may 
propose to the FAA an alternative method of compliance or a change in 
the compliance time, if the proposal provides an acceptable level of 
safety.''
    a. Although a letter is preferred, AMOC proposals may be submitted 
by other means, such as email, fax, or telephone. AMOC proposals 
received by telephone must be documented.
    An AMOC Response Letter is written by an internal FAA user and sent 
to the AMOC Requester. The template may be generated from the ADD 
Dashboard and follows the latest Order. There is not an FAA or OMB 
number on this template.
    A member of the public may submit an AMOC request to the FAA by 
using the ADD External website. Registration is not needed to use this 
website. External users must consent to the ``Terms of Use'' statement 
before proceeding to the AMOC proposal web page. An AMOC is required if 
an owner/operator of aircraft cannot comply with an AD or finds a 
different method to comply with the actions specified in an AD, as 
mandated by 14 CFR part 39.
    Respondents: The respondents are a member of the public who may 
submit an AMOC request to FAA by using the ADD External website. We 
estimate that 25 ADs yearly will require reports of information and 
findings. The average AD affects about 1,120 owners/operators. 
Therefore, 25 ADs times 1,120 owners/operators per year equal 28,000 
reports.
    Frequency: As needed.

    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 28,000 reporting hours.
