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. Federal Register Notices with 60-day and 30-day comment 
periods soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
were published on November 6, 2014 (79 FR 66828) and January 12, 2015 
(80 FR 1579), respectively. This notice serves as a correction to those 
prior notices, to clarify that the information collection request has 
been revised to report an increase in current burden estimates. 
Aircraft operators seeking operational approval to conduct Reduced 
Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) operations within the 48 contiguous 
United States (U.S.), Alaska and a portion of the Gulf of Mexico must 
submit an application to the Certificate Holding District Office.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by March 6, 2015.

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

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
