DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Notice of Intent To Request Revision From the Office of 
Management, and Budget of a Currently Approved Information Collection 
Activity, Request for Comments; Bird/Other Wildlife Strike Report

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA invites public comments about our intention to request 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve a current 
information collection. Wildlife strike data are collected to develop 
standards and monitor hazards to aviation. Data identify wildlife 
strike control requirements and provide in-service data on aircraft 
component failure.
    On March 19, 2009 [74 FR 11698], the FAA proposed that bird strike 
information voluntarily reported to the Agency and entered into the 
FAA's Wildlife Hazard Database be designated by an FAA order as 
protected from public disclosure in accordance with the provisions of 
14 CFR part 193, under 49 U.S.C. 40123. Comments from the public and 
aviation industry were solicited through April 20, 2009. Review of the 
comments found that the majority came from individuals who did not 
support protection of the data. The aviation industry provided very few 
comments and also showed little support. The FAA decided not to proceed 
with the Part 193 protection for the wildlife strike database. This 
notice seeks comments on the new adjusted burden imposed by the data 
collection based on more current figures than those reported when the 
collection was previously approved in 2007.

DATES: Please submit comments by August 4, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carla Mauney on (202) 267-9895, or by 
e-mail at: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#8bc8eaf9e7eaa5c6eafee5eef2cbedeaeaa5ece4fd"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="9bd8fae9f7fab5d6faeef5fee2dbfdfafab5fcf4ed">[email protected]</span></a>.
