Unapproved Parts Notification

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

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 information collected on the FAA Form 8120-11 is used 
by those who wish to report suspected unapproved parts to the FAA for 
review. The information is used to determine if an unapproved, part 
investigation is warranted.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 9, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by 
email at: Kathy.A.DePaepe@faa.gov.

    Title: Suspected Unapproved Parts Notification.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 8120-11.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: 49 U.S.C. 44701 empowers the Administrator of the 
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide reasonable rules and 
regulations for minimum standards governing the design, materials, 
construction, and performance of aircraft, engines, and propellers as 
may be required to ensure safety in air transportation. Submission of 
the Suspected Unapproved Parts Report, FAA Form 8120-11, is necessary 
to ensure that only FAA-approved parts are installed on type 
certificated aircraft, and that continued airworthiness is maintained. 
The information collected on the FAA Form 8120-11 will be reported 
voluntarily by manufacturers, repair stations, aircraft owner/
operators, air carriers, and the general public who wish to report 
suspected unapproved parts to the FAA for review.
    Respondents: Approximately 150 manufacturers, repair stations, 
aircraft owner/operators, and air carriers.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 75 hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Kathy 
DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation Administration, AES-200, 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.
