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 collection involves the recordkeeping requirement for owners/operators of aircraft issued a special airworthiness certificate in the light-sport aircraft category (SLSA) to keep the current status of applicable safety directives, and transfer these records with the aircraft at the time the aircraft is sold. The information to be collected is necessary to determine and ensure the SLSA aircraft is in a condition for safe flight prior to aircraft operation. The title of this collection is being revised from Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft to Special Light-Sport Aircraft (SLSA) Safety Directive Recordkeeping, to better reflect the purpose of the information collected.

Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for the Operation of Light-Sport
Aircraft
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. The collection involves the recordkeeping requirement for
owners/operators of aircraft issued a special airworthiness certificate
in the light-sport aircraft category (SLSA) to keep the current status
of applicable safety directives, and transfer these records with the
aircraft at the time the aircraft is sold. The information to be
collected is necessary to determine and ensure the SLSA aircraft is in
a condition for safe flight prior to aircraft operation. The title of
this collection is being revised from Certification of Aircraft and
Airmen for the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft to Special Light-Sport
Aircraft (SLSA) Safety Directive Recordkeeping, to better reflect the
purpose of the information collected.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 23, 2023.
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: 2120-0730.
Title: Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for the Operation of
Light-Sport Aircraft.
Form Numbers: Aircraft maintenance records/logs.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: Title 14 CFR, Sec. 91.417(a)(2)(v) requires each
registered owner or operator to retain records containing the current
status of applicable safety directives including, for each, the method
of compliance, the safety directive number and revision date.
Additionally, if the safety directive involves recurring action, the
time and date when the next action is required.
Recording this information and retaining these records is necessary
to determine if unsafe conditions have been corrected on aircraft
issued a special airworthiness certificate in the light-sport category
(SLSA), which assists in ensuring that the SLSA aircraft is in a
condition safe for flight prior to its operation within the national
airspace.
Respondents include owners/operators of SLSA, aircraft mechanics,
and LSA repairmen with a Maintenance rating. The records of SLSA safety
directive compliance are retained by the aircraft owner/operator, who
must keep the records for the life of the SLSA aircraft and transfer
them to the new owner at the time the aircraft is sold. The burden
estimates are based on the current number of registered SLA and a
projected future growth rate.
Respondents: 3224 owners/operators of SLSA aircraft.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2 Hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 6,448 hours of annual burden.
Issued in Washington, DC, on November 16, 2022.

Aviation Safety Inspector, Office of Safety Standards, Aircraft
Maintenance Division, Airmen Section.
