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 noise certification regulations for aircraft. This includes information collection requirements for the noise certification of subsonic aircraft--jet airplanes and subsonic transport category large airplanes, small propeller driven airplanes and rotorcraft. The information collected are the results of noise certification tests that demonstrate compliance. The original information collection was implemented to show compliance in accordance with the Aircraft Noise Abatement Act of 1968; that statute is now part of the overall codification of the FAA's regulatory authority over aircraft noise. The noise compliance report is used by the FAA in making a finding that the airplane is in noise compliance with the regulations. These compliance reports are required only once when an applicant wants to certificate an aircraft type. Without this data collection, the FAA would be unable to make the required noise certification compliance finding.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Noise
Certification Standards for Subsonic Jet Airplanes and Subsonic
Transport Category Large 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 collection involves the noise certification regulations
for aircraft. This includes information collection requirements for the
noise certification of subsonic aircraft--jet airplanes and subsonic
transport category large airplanes, small propeller driven airplanes
and rotorcraft. The information collected are the results of noise
certification tests that demonstrate compliance. The original
information collection was implemented to show compliance in accordance
with the Aircraft Noise Abatement Act of 1968; that statute is now part
of the overall codification of the FAA's regulatory authority over
aircraft noise. The noise compliance report is used by the FAA in
making a finding that the airplane is in noise compliance with the
regulations. These compliance reports are required only once when an
applicant wants to certificate an aircraft type. Without this data
collection, the FAA would be unable to make the required noise
certification compliance finding.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 7, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
By Electronic Docket: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> (Enter docket number into
search field).
By mail: Sandy Liu, Attn: AEE-100, 800 Independence Ave. SW,
Washington, DC 20591.
By fax: 202-267-5594.
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
[[Page 29802]]
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120-0659.
Title: Noise Certification Standards for Subsonic Jet Airplanes and
Subsonic Transport Category Large Airplanes.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The aircraft noise information collected are the
results of noise certification tests that demonstrate compliance with
14 CFR part 36. The original information collection was implemented to
show compliance in accordance with the Aircraft Noise Abatement Act of
1968; that statute is now part of the overall codification of the FAA's
regulatory authority over aircraft noise in 49 U.S.C. 44715. For this
renewal, the FAA proposes to maintain this PRA collection at 14 total
noise certification projects per year. Each applicant's collected
information is incorporated into a noise compliance report that is
provided to and approved by the FAA. The noise compliance report is
used by the FAA in making a finding that the airplane is in noise
compliance with the regulations. These compliance reports are required
only once when an applicant wants to certificate an aircraft type.
Without this data collection, the FAA would be unable to make the
required noise certification compliance finding.
Respondents: Aircraft manufacturer/applicant seeking type
certification.
Frequency: Estimated 15 total applicants per year.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Estimated 200 hours per
applicant for the compliance report.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: $20,160 per applicant or cumulative
total $302,400 per year for 15 applicants.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 2, 2023.
Sandy Liu,
Engineer, Office of Environment and Energy, Noise Division (AEE-100).
