Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Reduction of 
Fuel Tank Flammability on Transport Category Airplanes

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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was 
published on September 29, 2022. The FAA's Fuel Tank Flammability 
Safety rule requires manufacturers to report to the FAA every 6 months 
on the reliability of the fuel tank flammability reduction systems of 
their fleet. The data is needed to assure system performance meets that 
predicted at the time of certification. This collection of information 
supports the Department of Transportation's strategic goal of safety.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted April 10, 2023.

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

    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: 2120-0710.
    Title: Reduction of Fuel Tank Flammability on Transport Category 
Airplanes.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    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 Sept 29, 2022 (87 FR 59160). Design approval holders 
use flammability analysis documentation to demonstrate to their FAA 
Oversight Office that they are compliant with the Fuel Tank 
Flammability Safety rule (73 FR 42443). Semi-annual reports submitted 
by design approval holders provide listings of component failures 
discovered during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance so that the 
reliability of the flammability reduction means can be verified by the 
FAA.
    Respondents: Approximately four design approval holders.
    Frequency: Every three years.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 100 hours.
