invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for to renew an information 
collection. One of the ways to have an information program designated 
as protected under Section 40123 is for an air carrier or other person 
to submit an application for an individual program. The FAA evaluates 
the application and either publishes a designation based on the 
application for public comment or denies the application.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 10, 2014.

    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: To encourage people to voluntarily submit desired 
information, Sec.  40123 was added to Title 49, United States Code, in

the Administrator, through FAA regulations, to protect from disclosure 
voluntarily provided information relating to safety and security

carriers that choose to participate in this program. The air carrier 
submits a letter notifying the Administrator that they wish to 
participate in a current program.
