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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was
published on May 8, 2023.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by February 2, 2024.
[[Page 428]]
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
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The collection involves the noise
certification regulations of 14 CFR part 36 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 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. 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.
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: 2120-0659.
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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on May 8, 2023 (FR 29801). 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 December 28, 2023.
Sandy Liu,
Engineer, Office of Environment and Energy, Noise Division (AEE-100).
