Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Financial 
Responsibility Requirements for Licensed Reentry Activities

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 information collected supports FAA in determining the 
amount of required liability insurance for a reentry operator after 
examining the risk associated with a reentry vehicle, its operational 
capabilities, and its designated reentry site.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 23, 2012.

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

    OMB Control Number: 2120-0649.
    Title: Financial Responsibility Requirements for Licensed Reentry 
Activities.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: This collection is applicable upon concurrence of 
requests for conducting commercial reentry operations as prescribed in 
14 CFR, Parts 400, et al., Commercial Space Transportation Reusable 
Launch Vehicle and Reentry Licensing Regulation. A commercial space 
launch services provider must complete the Reusable Launch Vehicle and 
Reentry Licensing Regulation in order to gain authorization for 
conducting reentry activities. The information collection requirement 
enables FAA/AST to determine the amount of required liability insurance 
for a reentry operator after examining the risks associated with a 
reentry vehicle, its operational capabilities, and its designated 
reentry site.
    Respondents: Approximately 1 reentry operator.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.

DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation Administration, AES-200, 6500 S.

    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.
