DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Damage
Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation of Composite Rotorcraft Structures
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. To obtain type certification of a rotorcraft, an applicant
must show that the rotorcraft complies with specific certification
requirements. To show compliance, the applicant must submit
substantiating data.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 11, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ronda
Thompson, Room 441, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 950
L'Enfant Plaza SW., Washington, DC 20024.
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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronda Thompson at (202) 267-1416, or
by email at: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120-0753.
Title: Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation of Composite
Rotorcraft Structures.
Form Numbers: There are no forms associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The ``Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation of
Composite Rotorcraft Structures'' final rule (76 FR 74655) revised
parts 27 and 29 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations to add
new certification standards for normal and transport category
rotorcraft to address advances in structural damage tolerance and
fatigue substantiation technology for composite rotorcraft structures.
To obtain type certification of a rotorcraft, an applicant must 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 review
the required data submittals to determine if the rotorcraft complies
with the applicable minimum safety requirements for damage tolerance
and fatigue evaluation of composite structures and that the rotorcraft
has no unsafe features in the composite structures.
Respondents: Approximately 6 applicants for certification for 10.5
part 27 rotorcraft and 6 part 29 rotorcraft.
Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 178 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 109 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on November 4, 2015.
