DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Experimental
Permits for Reusable Suborbital Rockets
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 an information
collection. The FAA collects information from applicants for
experimental permits in order to determine whether they satisfy the
requirements for obtaining an experimental permit under 14 CFR part
437.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 21, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by
email at: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120-0722.
Title: Experimental Permits for Reusable Suborbital Rockets.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this
collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: 14 CFR part 437 established requirements for the FAA's
authority to issue experimental permits for reusable suborbital rockets
to authorize launches for the purpose of research and development, crew
training and showing compliance with the regulations. The information
collected includes data required for performing a safety review, which
includes a technical assessment to determine if the applicant can
launch a reusable suborbital rocket without jeopardizing public health
and safety and the safety of property. This information collection
requirement is intended for incorporating acquired data into the
experimental permit, which then becomes binding on the launch or
reentry operator. The applicant is required to submit information that
enables FAA to determine, before issuing a permit, if issuance of the
experimental permit would jeopardize the foreign policy or national
security interests of the U.S.
Respondents: Approximately 10 applicants for experimental permits.
Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 18.6 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: An estimated 2,567 hours annually.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Kathy
DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation Administration, AES-200, 6500 S.
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169.
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
[[Page 51808]]
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.
Issued in Washington, DC on August 14, 2013.
Albert R. Spence,
FAA Assistant Information Collection Clearance Officer, IT Enterprises
