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

email at: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120-0752
Title: Fatigue Tolerance Evaluation of Metallic Structures.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this
collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: To obtain type certification of a rotorcraft, 14 CFR
part 29 requires an applicant to show that the rotorcraft complies with
specific certification requirements. To show compliance, the applicant
must submit substantiating data. FAA engineers or designated engineer
representatives from industry will review the required data submittals
to determine if the rotorcraft complies with the applicable minimum
safety requirements for fatigue critical rotorcraft metallic structures
and that the rotorcraft has no unsafe features in the metallic
structures. The FAA is requiring an applicant to submit the compliance
methodology for the FAA to assure that the rotorcraft has no unsafe
fatigue characteristics.
Respondents: 17 total applicants for type certification of
rotorcraft over a 27 year period.
Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 320 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 269 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC on December 17, 2014.
