SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period

published on October 21, 2024. The collection involves the member of 
the public that may submit an Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC) 
request to the FAA by using the Airworthiness Directives Development 
(ADD) External website. The information to be collected will be used to 
support publicly disseminated information to the FAA and/or is 
necessary because this information supports the Department of 
Transportation's strategic goal to promote the public health and safety 
by working toward eliminating transportation-related deaths and 
injuries.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by February 12, 2025.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed

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

    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: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on October 21, 2024 89 FR 84236. 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.

    Issued on January 7, 2025.

Manager, Airworthiness Products Section, Operational Safety Branch,
