[Docket Number: FAA-2021-0179]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Airport Noise 
Compatibility Planning

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) invites public comments about our 
intention to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) 
approval to renew an information collection. The collection involves 
information on voluntary airport noise compatibility programs. The 
information to be collected is necessary because noise compatibility 
program measures are eligible for Federal grants in-aid if they are 
provided to FAA for review and approval in advance. The respondents are 
airport sponsors that voluntarily submit noise exposure maps and noise 
compatibility programs to the FAA for review and approval.

DATES: Send comments on or before June 8, 2021.

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. Comments can be submitted via electronic mail to 
oirasubmission@omb.eop.gov or by the following additional options:

By mail to: The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 
Management and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW, 
Washington, DC 20503 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0517.

    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an Information Collection.
    Background: The voluntarily submitted information from the current 
collection process pursuant to Tile 14 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR) part 150, (e.g., airport noise exposure maps and airport noise 
compatibility programs, or their revisions) is used by the FAA to 
conduct reviews of the submissions to determine if an airport sponsor's 
noise compatibility program is eligible for Federal grant funds. If 
airport sponsors did not voluntarily submit noise exposure maps and 
noise compatibility programs for FAA review and approval, the airport 
sponsor would not be eligible for the set aside of discretionary grant 
funds.
    Respondents: Approximately 15 airport sponsors.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 3,744 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 56,160 hours.

    Issued in: Washington, DC, March 31, 2021.

Environmental Protection Specialist, Office of Airports, Planning and 
Environmental Division, APP-400.
