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 April 16, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed or delivered to the FAA at the 
following address: Ms. Judy Street, Room 613, Federal Aviation

Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: the FAA solicits comments on the following 
six 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 information collection activities 
which will be submitted to OMB for review and request for renewal:
    1. 2120-0001, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration and 
Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, and Project Status 
Request. Federal regulations require all persons to report proposed or 
actual construction/alteration of structures affecting air safety. The 
reporting requirements as prescribed in 14 CFR Part 77 affects any 
persons or business planning to construct or alter a structure that may 
affect air safety. The information is used to ensure the safe and 
efficient use of the navigable airspace by aircraft. The

current estimated annual reporting burden on the public is 8,820 hours.
    2. 2120-0022, Certification: Mechanics Repairmen, Parachute 
Riggers, and Inspection Authorizations, FAR-65. FAR part 65 prescribes 
rules governing the issuance of certificates and associated rating for 
mechanics, repairmen, parachute riggers, and the issuance of inspection 
authorizations. The current estimated annual burden is 28,943 hours.
    3. 2120-0056, Report of Inspections Required by Airworthiness 
Directives. The Airworthiness Directive (AD) is the medium used by the 
FAA to provide notice to aircraft owners and operators that an unsafe 
condition exists and to prescribe the conditions and/or limitations, 
including inspections, under which the product may continue to be 
operated. AD's are issued to require corrective action to correct 
unsafe conditions in aircraft engines, propellers, and appliances. 
Reports of inspections are often needed when emergency corrective 
action is taken to determine if the action was adequate to correct the 
unsafe condition. The respondents are an estimated 81,000 owners/
operators. The current estimated annual burden is 6,771 hours.
    4. 2120-0101, Physiological training. This report is necessary to 
establish qualifications of eligibility to receive voluntary 
physiological training and will be used as proper evidence of training. 
An application form is completed by pilots and crewmembers as a request 
to receive voluntary physiological training. The current estimated 
annual burden is 5,500 hours.
    5. 2120-0524, High Density Traffic airports; Slot Allocation and 
Transfer Methods. The information collection requirements of the rule 
involve the air carriers or commuter operators notifying the FAA of 
their current and planned activities regarding use of the arrival and 
departure slots at the high-density airports. The FAA logs, verifies, 
and processes the requests made by the operators. This information is 
used to allocate and withdraw takeoff and landing slots at the high-
density airports, and confirms transfers of slots made among the 
operators. The current estimated annual burden is 2,581 hours.
    6. 2120-0628, Employment History Verification, and Criminal History 
Records Check. The rule requires screeners and their supervisors to 
complete employment background checks. The current estimated annual 
burden is 2,969 hours.
