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. *OMB Control Number:*
                     2120-0763. *Title: Agency Information Collection Activities:*
                     Request for Renewal of a Previously Approved Information Collection(s); Safety Management Systems for Part 121 Certificate Holders. *Form Numbers:*
                     None. *Type of Review:*
                     Renewal of an Information Collection with changes. *Background:*
                     The information collected involves the collection and analysis of safety data as part of a Safety Management System (SMS), as required for part 121 by 14 CFR part 5, Safety Management Systems. The information to be collected will continue to be used to show compliance with part 5. The existing information collection included the submission of SMS Implementation Plans to the FAA by March 9, 2018. That portion of the information collection has been completed and only new applicants for a part 121 certificate will be required to submit SMS Implementation Plans in the future. While the burden for existing part 121 certificate holders is significantly reduced, it is anticipated there will be some ongoing recordkeeping requirements for part 5 compliance. A 60-Day

                    **Federal Register**
                     Notice and request for comments was published on September 17, 2018 (83 FR 46990). The FAA did not receive any comments on either notice. Since the 60-Day and 30-Day notices, there are changes to the original request and an additional 60-Day

                     Notice was 
                    ( print page 1829)
                    published on December 9, 2020 (85 FR 79256). The current number of certificate holders in 2020 is 68 compared to 90 in 2015. The 68 part 121 certificate holders implemented a Safety Management System by the March 9, 2018 part 5 deadline. The burden analysis has been revised reflecting part 121 SMS implementation, revised industry numbers, and analysis of post-implementation recordkeeping. *Respondents:*
                     All 68 existing part 121 certificate holders. *Frequency:*
                     Implementation Plan collection: 1 future applicant for part 121 certificate (anticipating no more than one new applicant a year). Recordkeeping requirement: Annual recordkeeping requirements for all 68 existing part 121 certificates. Air carrier groups
