[Docket No. 2022-1202]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Reduction of 
Fuel Tank Flammability on Transport Category Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

[[Page 59161]]

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 a previously approved 
information collection. The FAA's Fuel Tank Flammability Safety rule 
requires manufacturers to report to the FAA every 6 months on the 
reliability of the fuel tank flammability reduction systems of their 
fleet. The data is needed to assure system performance meets that 
predicted at the time of certification. This collection of information 
supports the Department of Transportation's strategic goal of safety.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 28, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: https://www.regulations.gov (Enter docket 
number into search field).
    By mail: Monica Caldwell, FAA National Headquarters, 800 
Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20591-0001.
    By fax: 405-225-2350.

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.

    Title: Reduction of Fuel Tank Flammability on Transport Category 
Airplanes.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on September 19, 2019 (84 FR 49174). There were no 
comments. Design approval holders use flammability analysis 
documentation to demonstrate to their FAA Oversight Office that they 
are compliant with the Fuel Tank Flammability Safety rule (73 FR 
42443). Semi-annual reports submitted by design approval holders 
provide listings of component failures discovered during scheduled or 
unscheduled maintenance so that the reliability of the flammability 
reduction means can be verified by the FAA.
    Respondents: Approximately nine design approval holders.
    Frequency: Every three years.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: Minutes/Hours 100 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,800 hours.
