Abstract
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 information collected on the FAA Form 8120-11 is reported voluntarily by manufacturers, repair stations, aircraft owner/ operators, air carriers, and the general public who wish to report suspected unapproved parts to the FAA for review. The report information is collected and correlated by the FAA Hotline Program Office, and used to determine if an unapproved part investigation is warranted. When unapproved parts are confirmed that are likely to exist on other products or aircraft of the same or similar design or are being used in other facilities, the information is used as a basis for an aviation industry alert or notification.

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 information collected on the FAA Form 8120-11 is
reported voluntarily by manufacturers, repair stations, aircraft owner/
operators, air carriers, and the general public who wish to report
suspected unapproved parts to the FAA for review. The report
information is collected and correlated by the FAA Hotline Program
Office, and used to determine if an unapproved part investigation is
warranted. When unapproved parts are confirmed that are likely to exist
on other products or aircraft of the same or similar design or are
being used in other facilities, the information is used as a basis for
an aviation industry alert or notification.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 18, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:

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. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0552.
Title: Suspected Unapproved Parts Report.
Form Numbers: FAA Form 8120-11.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The information collected on the FAA Form 8120-11,
Suspected Unapproved Parts Report, is reported voluntarily by
manufacturers, repair stations, aircraft owner/operators, air carriers,
and the general public who wish to report suspected unapproved parts
(SUP) to the FAA for review. The report information is collected and
correlated by the FAA Hotline Program Office, and used to determine if
an unapproved part investigation is warranted. When unapproved parts
are confirmed that are likely to exist on other products or aircraft of
the same or similar design or are being used in other facilities, the
information is used as a basis for an aviation industry alert or
notification. Alerts are used to inform industry of situations
essential to the prevention of accidents, if the information had not
been collected. The consequence to the aviation community would be the
inability to determine whether or not unapproved parts are being
offered for sale or use for installation on type-certificated products.
Procedures and processes relating to the SUP program and associated
reports are found in FAA Order 8120.16A, Suspected Unapproved Parts
Program, and Advisory Circular 21-29, Detecting and Reporting Suspected
Unapproved Parts. When unapproved parts are identified, the FAA
notifies the public by published Field Notifications, disseminated
using Unapproved Parts Notifications, Aviation Maintenance Alerts,
Airworthiness Directives, entry into an issue of the Service Difficulty
Reporting Summary, a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin, a
display on an internet site, or direct mailing. Reporting of
information is strictly voluntary. The information is requested from
any individual or facility suspecting an unapproved part. Any burden is
minimized by requesting only necessary information to warrant an
investigation.
Respondents: Anyone may fill out and send FAA Form 8120-11 to the
FAA.
Frequency: Whenever anyone discovers or suspects they have received
an unapproved part.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: About 30 minutes to read and
disposition each form.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The FAA collects approximately 200
forms from the public per year.
