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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on November 22, 2022. 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 Records", to better reflect the purpose of the information collected.

[Docket No. 2022-1564]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: 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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was
published on November 22, 2022. 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
Records'', to better reflect the purpose of the information collected.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by April 19, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to

[[Page 16710]]
performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA
to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on November 22, 2022 (87 FR 71392). Title 14 CFR, part
91, Sec. 91.327(b)(4) states that aircraft issued a special
airworthiness certificate in the light-sport category (SLSA) cannot be
operated unless the owner or operator complies with each safety
directive applicable to the aircraft. Section 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
record must include the time (e.g., aircraft total time) and date when
the next action is required.
Recording safety directive compliance and retaining these records
is necessary to determine if unsafe conditions have been corrected on
SLSA aircraft, which assists in ensuring that an 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 March 15, 2023.
Tanya A. Glines,
Aviation Safety Inspector, Office of Safety Standards, Aircraft
Maintenance Division, Airmen Section.
