collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the

    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on June 19, 2017 (82 FR 27949). There were no comments. 
In order to determine that a rotorcraft is a safe vehicle, an applicant 
for a type certificate must show compliance to specific minimum 
requirements. In order to show compliance, an applicant must 
substantiate the type design through analysis, testing, design 
limitations, and other acceptable means. This substantiation requires 
that certain performance information for safe operation of the 
rotorcraft be presented, in the form of tables, diagrams, or charts, in 
the flight manual. FAA engineers and designated engineers review the 
required data submittals to determine that the rotorcraft complies with 
the applicable minimum safety requirements for rotorcraft performance 
and that the rotorcraft has no unsafe features.
    Respondents: Approximately 4 normal or transport category 
rotorcraft certification applicants.
