[Docket No. FAA-2019-0659]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Reduction of 
Fuel Tank Flammability on Transport Category Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew a previously approved 
information collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day 
comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of 
information was published on September 18, 2019. The FAA's Fuel Tank 
Flammability Safety rule requires manufacturers to report to the FAA 
every 6 months on the reliability of the fuel tank flammability 
reduction systems of their fleet. The data is needed to assure system 
performance meets that predicted at the time of certification.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by March 23, 2020.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0710.
    Title: Reduction of Fuel Tank Flammability on Transport Category 
Airplanes.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on September 19, 2019 (84 FR 49174). There were no 
comments. Design approval holders use flammability analysis 
documentation to demonstrate to their FAA Oversight Office that they 
are compliant with the Fuel Tank Flammability Safety rule (73 FR 
42443). Semi-annual reports submitted by design approval holders 
provide listings of component failures discovered during scheduled or 
unscheduled maintenance so that the reliability of the flammability 
reduction means can be verified by the FAA.
    Respondents: Approximately nine design approval holders.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 100 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,800 hours.
