[Docket No. FAA 2019-0659]

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.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
FAA invites public comments about our intention to request Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The FAA's Fuel Tank Flammability Safety rulemaking requires 
manufacturers to provide a report to the FAA every 6 months for up to 5 
years after the flammability reduction system is incorporated into the 
fleet. The data collection is needed to assure system performance meets 
that predicted at the time of certification.

    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: 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 five design approval holders.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 100 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4,000 hours.
