Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Aircraft Noise 
Certification Documents for International Operations

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. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was 
published on April 19, 2013, vol. 78, no. 76, page 23628. This 
collection ensures that U.S. operators have proper noise certification 
information when they fly outside the U.S., in compliance with ICAO, 
Annex 16, Volume 1, Amendment 8.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by August 2, 2013.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0737.
    Title: Aircraft Noise Certification Documents for International 
Operations.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: 14 CFR part 91 requires operators of U.S. registered 
civil aircraft flying outside the United States to carry aircraft noise 
certification information on board. This rule is needed to ensure 
consistent compliance with the ICAO, Annex 16, Volume 1, Amendment 8 
that requires certain noise information be carried on board the 
aircraft. The rule requires that this information be easily accessible 
to the flight crew and presentable upon request to the appropriate 
foreign officials.
    Respondents: Approximately 73 operators of aircraft currently 
registered to U.S. mainline air carriers.
    Frequency: One-time initial response per aircraft subject to the 
rule, for the information to be recorded and maintained.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 25 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 31 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.
