DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Notice of Intent to Request Renewal From the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) of Current Public Collections of Information

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.), the FAA invites public comment on six currently approved 
public information collections which will be submitted to OMB for 
renewal.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 9, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments on any of these collections may be mailed or 
delivered to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Judith Street, Room 
612, Federal Aviation Administration, Corporate Information Division, 
ABC-100, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Judith Street at the above address or on (202) 267-9895.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA solicits comments on any of the 
current collections of information in order to evaluate the necessity 
of the collection, the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden, 
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected, 
and possible ways to minimize the burden of the collection. Following 
are short synopses of the six, currently approved public information 
collection activities, which will be submitted to OMB for review and 
renewal:
    1. 2120-0033, Representatives of the Administrator, FAR 183. Title 
49, U.S.C., Section 44702, authorizes appointment of properly qualified 
private persons to be representatives of the Administrator for 
examining, testing, and certifying airmen for the purpose of issuing 
them airmen certificates. The information collected is used to 
determine eligibility of the representatives. There is an estimate of 
8,500 respondents who will take an hour or less to prepare the 
appropriate application form for the job for which they are applying. 
This submission will no longer cover the application for airmen medical 
examiners since that reporting burden now has its own OMB control 
number of 2120-0604.
    2. 2120-0045, Bird Strike Incident/Ingestion Report. Bird strike 
data are collected to develop standards and monitor hazards to 
aviation. Data identify bird strike control requirements and provide 
in-service data on aircraft component failure. We estimate 2000 
incident reports annually at approximately 5 minutes per report.
    3. 2120-0557, Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program. The Aviation 
Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-508) authorizes 
airports to impose passenger facility charges. FAR Part 158 
recordkeeping/reporting requirements affect two groups of respondents--
air carriers and public agencies. It is estimated that there will be 
100 respondents and the total would be 50,000 hours annually.
    4. 2120-0559, FAA Research and Development Grants. The FAA Aviation 
Research and Development Grants Program establishes uniform policies 
and procedures for the award and administration of research grants to 
colleges, universities, not-for-profit organizations, and profit 
organizations for security research. This program implements OMB 
Circular A-110,

[[Page 17277]]

Public Law 101-508, Section 9205, 9208 and Public Law 101-604, Section 
107(d). We estimate that we will have 200 respondents per year for an 
average of 2800 burden hours.
    5. 2120-0563, Notice and Approval of Airport Noise and Access 
Restrictions--Part 161. The Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990, 
Public Law 101-508, mandates the formulation of a national noise 
policy. One part of that mandate is the development of a national 
program to review noise and access restrictions on the operation of 
State 2 and Stage 3 aircraft. Respondents are airport operators 
proposing voluntary agreements and/or mandatory restrictions on Stage 2 
and Stage 3 aircraft operations and aircraft operators that request 
reevaluation of a restriction. There is an estimated 18 respondents 
with an average annual burden of 32,000 hours.
    6. 2120-0585, Flight Attendant Duty Limitations and Rest 
Requirements. This is a recordkeeping requirement on air carriers 
operating under parts 121, 125, and 135. The recordkeeping will enable 
the Administrator of the FAA to verify that each airline is in 
compliance with the flight attendant duty/rest regulations. The 
information is used to ensure that flight attendants receive sufficient 
rest to perform safety duties onboard airplanes. There is an estimated 
180 affected air carriers for a total recordkeeping burden of 
approximately 104,000 hours annually.
