Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection(s): 
Maintenance, Preventative Maintenance, Rebuilding and Alteration

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

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. FAR Part 43 prescribes the rules governing maintenance, 
rebuilding, and alteration of aircraft components, and is necessary to 
ensure this work is performed by qualified persons, and at proper 
intervals. This work is done by certified mechanics, repair stations, 
and air carriers authorized to perform major alterations and major 
repairs. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was 
published on August 27, 2010, vol. 75, no. 166, page 52803. Comments 
were received on the frequency of the collection reported in that 
notice, which has been revised in this notice to read that information 
is collected ``as needed.'' Other comments were received regarding the 
annual burden reported on the previous notice. The estimated average 
burden per response has been revised in this notice, and the annual 
hourly burden has also been recalculated and revised for better 
accuracy.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 6, 2011.

repairs. The information collection associated with FAR 43 is necessary

proper intervals. Further, proper maintenance records are essential to 
ensure that an aircraft is properly maintained and is mechanically safe 
for flight.

stations, and air carriers authorized to perform maintenance.

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.
