OMB Control Number: 2120-0665.
Title: Safe Disposition of Life-Limited Aircraft Parts.
Form Numbers: N/A.
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 March 14, 2024 (89 FR 18700). The installation of
parts that have exceeded their manufacturer specified life-limit onto
aircraft operating in the National Airspace (NAS) compromises the
safety of the public who fly on those aircraft. The FAA has found life-
limited parts that exceeded their operating limitations installed on
aircraft through accident investigations, Suspected Unapproved Parts
(SUPS) reports, and routine surveillance activities. To help prevent
the installation of aircraft parts that have reached their life-limit,
the FAA has instituted regulations that require persons who remove
parts that have reached their life limit, to properly disposition those
parts. Proper disposition may include part recordkeeping, tagging,
marking, segregation, mutilation, or another method approved or
accepted by the FAA. Additionally, when requested by a person required
to disposition a life-limited part, the holder of a type certificate or
design approval for a life-limited part must provide marking
instructions or must state that the part cannot be practicably marked
without compromising its integrity.
Respondents: 22,000 aircraft maintenance providers and design
approval holders.
Frequency: As needed.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes per response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 53,500 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 7, 2024.

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