[[Page 36169]]

approval to renew an information collection. One of the ways to have an 
information program designated as protected under Section 40123 is for 
an air carrier or other person to submit an application for an 
individual program. The FAA evaluates the application and either 
publishes a designation based on the application for public comment or 
denies the application.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by August 22, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carla Scott on (202) 385-4293, or by 
e-mail at: Carla.Scott@faa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0646.
    Title: Protection of Voluntarily Submitted Information.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: To encourage people to voluntarily submit desired 
information, Sec.  40123 was added to Title 49, United States Code, in 
the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996. Section 40123 allows 
the Administrator, through FAA regulations, to protect from disclosure 
voluntarily provided information relating to safety and security 
issues. This rule imposes a negligible paperwork burden for air 
carriers that choose to participate in this program. The air carrier 
submits a letter notifying the Administrator that they wish to 
participate in a current program.
    Respondents: Approximately 5 applicants.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 5 hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Carla 
Scott, Room 336, Federal Aviation Administration, AES-300, 950 L'Enfant 
Plaza, SW., Washington, DC 20024.
    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.

    Issued in Washington, DC on June 15, 2011.
