    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.

    Background: 14 CFR Part 21 requires that, with certain exceptions, 
all aviation product changes comply with the latest airworthiness 
standards when determining the certification basis for aeronautical 
products. This process is intended to increase safety by applying the

request, in letter form, and a supporting data package is made to the 
appropriate Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aircraft 
Certification Office by an aircraft/product manufacturer/modifier.
    Respondents: Approximately 2,558 manufacturers/modifiers.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 7.35 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 18,815 hours.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of 
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and 
Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 
20503.
    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.
