SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of

soliciting comments on the following collection of information was

Regulation generates a need for new designated pilot examiners and 
designated airworthiness representatives to support the certification 
of new light-sport aircraft, pilots, flight instructors, and ground 
instructors. This submission removes reported burden associated with 
this collection but previously approved by OMB under existing control 
numbers 2120-0018, 2120-0022, 2120-0033, and 2120-0042.
