intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval 
to renew an information collection. Flight plan information is used to 
govern the flight of aircraft for the protection and identification of 
aircraft, property, and persons on the ground. The Federal Register 
Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the 
following collection of information was published on June 22, 2015. A 
comment was received suggesting that the original effective date of 
October 1, 2015 for the removal of form 7233-1 from public use is too 
soon to acclimate respondents to the process change. FAA has revised 
the effective date to October 1, 2016 for the civilian burden for 
flight plan information, both domestic and international to be 
collected via form 7233-4, FAA International Flight Plan.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 16, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of 
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to 
oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to 
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management 
and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20503.
    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. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.
