BILLING CODE 4915-01-P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration [Docket No. FAA-2020-0997] Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Noise Certification Standards for Subsonic Jet Airplanes and Subsonic Transport Category Large Airplanes 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 **Federal Register** Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on October 21, 2020. The collection involves the noise certification regulations for subsonic aircraft. Without this data collection, the FAA would be unable to make the required noise certification compliance finding. DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 27, 2021. ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to *www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.* Find this particular information collection by selecting “Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments” or by using the search function. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandy Liu by email at: *sandy.liu@faa.gov;* phone: 202-267-4748. 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. *OMB Control Number:* 2120-0659. *Title:* Noise Certification Standards for Subsonic Jet Airplanes and Subsonic Transport Category Large Airplanes. *Form Numbers:* None. *Type of Review:* Renewal of an information collection. *Background:* The **Federal Register** Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on October 21, 2020 (85 FR 67089). The aircraft noise information collected are the results of noise certification tests that demonstrate compliance with 14 CFR part 36. The original information collection was implemented to show compliance in accordance with the Aircraft Noise Abatement Act of 1968; that statute is now part of the overall codification of the FAA's regulatory authority over aircraft noise in 49 U.S.C. 44715. For this renewal, the FAA proposes to maintain this PRA collection at 14 total noise certification projects per year. Each applicant's collected information is incorporated into a noise compliance report that is provided to and approved by the FAA. The noise compliance report is used by the FAA in making a finding that the airplane is in noise compliance with the regulations. These compliance reports are required only once when an applicant wants to certificate an aircraft type. Without this data collection, the FAA would be unable to make the required noise certification compliance finding. *Respondents:* Aircraft manufacturer/applicant seeking type certification; *Frequency:* Estimated 14 total applicants per year; *Estimated Average Burden per Response:* Estimated 200 hours per applicant for the compliance report; and *Estimated Total Annual Burden:* $25,000 per applicant or cumulative total $350,000 per year for 14 applicants. Issued in Washington, DC on December 18, 2020. Sandy Liu, Engineer, Office of Environment and Energy, Noise Division (AEE-100). [FR Doc. 2020-28485 Filed 12-23-20; 8:45 am]
