SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 2120-0726.
    Title: Performance and Handling Requirements for Rotorcraft.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: In order to determine that a rotorcraft is a safe 
vehicle, an applicant for a type certificate must show compliance to 
specific minimum requirements. In order to show compliance, an 
applicant must substantiate the type design through analysis, testing, 
design limitations, and other acceptable means. This substantiation 
requires that certain performance information for safe operation of the 
rotorcraft be presented, in the form of tables, diagrams, or charts, in 
the flight manual. FAA engineers and designated engineers review the 
required data submittals to determine that the rotorcraft complies with 
the applicable minimum safety requirements for rotorcraft performance 
and that the rotorcraft has no unsafe features.
    Respondents: Approximately 4 normal or transport category 
rotorcraft certification applicants.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2 hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Kathy 
DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 6500 S. 
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169.
    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.
