for issuance of Airworthiness Directives designed to prevent unsafe 
conditions and accidents.

    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

    Title: Service Difficulty Report.
    Form Numbers:
FAA Form 8070-1
FAA Form 8010-4
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: This collection affects certificate holders operating 
under 14 CFR part 121, 125, 135, and 145 who are required to report 
service difficulties and malfunction or defect reports. The data 
collected identifies mechanical failures, malfunctions, and defects 
that may be a hazard to the operation of an aircraft. The FAA uses this 
data to identify trends that may facilitate the early detection of 
airworthiness problems. When defects are reported which are likely to 
exist on other products of the same or similar design, the FAA may 
disseminate safety information to a particular section of the aviation 
community.
    Respondents: Approximately 60,000 respondents.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 15,000.

    Issued in Greensboro, NC, on July 29, 2020.

Service, Office of Aviation Safety, AFS-620.
