Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period

maintenance repair actions record who, what, when, where and how of the 
task performed. All maintenance actions as well as documentation are 
required by the Code of Federal Regulations. This collection focuses on 
the Form 337 which is collected by the FAA as required by Federal 
Aviation Regulation Part 43. Other records for preventative 
maintenance, and logbook entries are not collected by the FAA serve as 
a responsibility of the owner to maintain in case of verification of 
airworthiness when seeking approvals or sale of the aircraft. This 
insures proper certification of personnel; proper tooling is utilized 
and accurate measures to insure safety. Total form 337s submitted in 
2017 is 54,237. Total aircraft registrations on file is 289,490. It is 
estimated by the numbers collected one in every five aircraft have a 
337 form submitted for major alteration and repairs performed. Each 337 
takes approximately 1 hour.
