application for amended Type Certificates (TC) or Supplemental TCs for 
aeronautical products.

    Background: 14 CFR part 21 requires that, with certain exceptions, 
all aviation product changes comply with the latest airworthiness 
standards when determining the certification basis for aeronautical 
products. This process is intended to increase safety by applying the

request, in letter form, and a supporting data package is made to the

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.
