Agency: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT
Action: Notice and request for comments
Citation: FR Doc. 2011-7178

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 FAA's Fuel Tank Flammability Safety rulemaking requires manufacturers to provide a report to the FAA every six 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.

Dates

Written comments should be submitted by May 27, 2011.

Supplementary Information

OMB Control Number: 2120-0710. 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 5 design approval holders. Frequency: Information is collected on occasion. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 100 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4,000 hours.
