DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Operations
Specifications, Part 129 Application
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 FAA assesses the information collected and
issues operations specifications to foreign air carriers. These
operations specifications assure the foreign air carrier's ability to
navigate and communicate safely within the U.S. National Airspace
System.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 5, 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 by email at:
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120-0749.
Title: Operations Specifications, Part 129 Application.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this
collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The final rule published in 2013, clarified and
standardized the rules for applications by foreign air carriers and
foreign persons for operations specifications issued under 14 CFR part
129 and established standards for amendment, suspension and termination
of those operations specifications. The final rule also applied to
foreign air carriers and foreign persons operating U.S.-registered
aircraft in common carriage solely outside the United States. This
action was necessary to update the process for issuing operations
specifications, and it established a regulatory basis for current
practices, such as amending, terminating, and suspending operations
specifications.
Respondents: Approximately 25 new applicants annually.
