Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection(s): Performance 
and Handling Requirements for Rotorcraft

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 September 23, 2010, vol. 75, no. 184, page 58014. The FAA 
requires that certain performance information be provided in the 
Rotorcraft Flight Manual in order to show compliance to the regulatory 
requirements. The flight manual, by regulation, must be furnished with 
each aircraft.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 27, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carla Scott on (202) 267-9895, or by 
e-mail at: Carla.Scott@faa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0726.
    Title: Performance and Handling Requirements for Rotorcraft.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: In order to determine that a rotorcraft is a safe 
vehicle, an applicant for a type certificate must show compliance to 
specific minimum requirements. In order to show compliance, an 
applicant must substantiate the type design through analysis, testing, 
design limitations, and other acceptable means. This substantiation 
requires that certain performance information for safe operation of the 
rotorcraft be presented, in the form of tables, diagrams, or charts, in 
the flight manual. FAA engineers and designated engineers review the 
required data submittals to determine that the rotorcraft complies with 
the minimum safety requirements for rotorcraft performance and that the 
rotorcraft has no unsafe features.
    Respondents: Approximately 4 normal or transport category 
rotorcraft certification applicants.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5.5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 22 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.
