-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was
published on March 31, 2021. The collection involves the member of the
public that may submit an Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC)
request to the FAA by using the ADD External website. The information
to be collected will be used to support publicly disseminated

supports the Department of Transpiration's strategic goal to promote
the public health and safety by working toward eliminating
transportation-related deaths and injuries.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by September 15, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0056.
Title: Report of Inspections Required by Airworthiness Directives,
Part 39.
Form Numbers: There is no standard form to use for AMOC submission.
However, the public may access the AMOC External website to submit an
AMOC request to the FAA.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on March 31, 2021 (FRN citation 2021-06646). Alternative
Methods of Compliance (AMOC) are submitted to the FAA by the general
public. While anyone may submit an AMOC there is no standard form to
use. From Order 8110.103B Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC),
Section 3-2:
3-2. AMOC Proposal. 14 CFR 39.19 states in part that ``anyone may
propose to FAA an alternative method of compliance or a change in the
compliance time, if the proposal provides an acceptable level of
safety.''
a. Although a letter is preferred, AMOC proposals may be submitted
by
[[Page 45799]]
other means, such as email, fax, or telephone. AMOC proposals received
by telephone must be documented.
An AMOC Response Letter is written by an internal FAA user and sent
to the AMOC Requester. The template may be generated from the ADD
Dashboard and follows the latest Order. There is not an FAA or OMB
number on this template.
A member of the public may submit an AMOC request to the FAA by
using the AMOC external website. Registration is not needed to use this
website. External users must consent to the ``Terms of Use'' statement
before proceeding to the AMOC proposal web page. An AMOC is required if
an owner/operator of aircraft cannot comply with an AD or finds a
different method to comply with the actions specified in an AD, as
mandated by FAA Order 8110.103B.
Respondents: The respondents are a member of the public who may
submit an AMOC request to FAA by using the AMOC External website. We
estimate that 25 ADs yearly will require reports of information and
findings. The average AD affects about 1,120 owners/operators.
Therefore, 25 ADs times 1,120 owners/operators per year equal 28,000
reports.
Frequency: As needed.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: These reports, requiring an
average of 1 hour each to prepare, consume 28,000 reporting hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The total annualized cost to
respondents is $2,380,000. We base this on the 28,000 reporting hours
times an estimated hourly rate of $85/hour per respondent. The average
cost to the respondents per AD per year is $85.00 ($2,380,000 divided
by 28,000).
Issued in Washington, DC, on July 9, 2021.
