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 July 7, 2026. The collection involves questioning, via email, telephone or other means, foreign entities to determine what collaborative opportunities exist. The information to be collected is necessary to accomplish the statutory requirements of Title 49 United States Code (49 U.S.C.) Sec. 40104 to "provide technical assistance on any other aspect of aviation safety that the Administrator determines is likely to enhance international aviation safety." The information collection will also inform the FAA's International Strategy, which is the agency's mechanism for fulfilling its international role. The information collection directly supports the International Strategy by enabling the FAA to adapt and strengthen its longstanding international presence in response to emerging opportunities and risks facing the U.S. aerospace industry from abroad.

Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information
collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period

States Code (49 U.S.C.) Sec. 40104 to ``provide technical assistance
on any other aspect of aviation safety that the Administrator
determines is likely to enhance international aviation safety.'' The
information collection will also inform the FAA's International
Strategy, which is the agency's mechanism for fulfilling its
international role. The information collection directly supports the
International Strategy by enabling the FAA to adapt and strengthen its
longstanding international presence in response to emerging
opportunities and risks facing the U.S. aerospace industry from abroad.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 13, 2026.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed

Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection:
International Role of the Federal Aviation Administration
Form Numbers: FAA Form 1240-6.
Type of Review: Clearance of a 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 July 7, 2026 (91 FR 41729). 49 U.S.C. 40104 requires
``the Administrator to promote and achieve global improvements in the
safety, efficiency, and environmental effect of air travel by engaging
with foreign counterparts, in the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) and its subsidiary organizations, and other
international organizations and fora, and with the private sector.''
The statute further requires the Administrator to engage bilaterally
and multilaterally on an ongoing basis to bolster international
collaboration and to harmonize international aviation safety
requirements, and to expand the technical assistance provided by the
FAA in support of enhancing international aviation safety.
This information collection specifically facilitates work and
training arrangements with foreign counterparts, ICAO and its
subsidiary organizations, other international organizations and fora,
and with private entities around the world; it identifies opportunities
and unexpected changes; and it ultimately contributes to the
fulfillment of the FAA's mission to provide the safest, most efficient
aerospace system in the world.
Foreign affairs specialists assigned to the FAA Office of
International Affairs will collect information from respondents
(foreign counterparts, ICAO and its subsidiary organizations, other
international organizations and fora, or from private foreign entities)
verbally, in-person or telephonically, or in writing via letter, email,
or other electronic means.
Respondents: Information is collected from approximately 195
affected entities. Respondents are representatives from the FAA's
counterpart Civil Aviation Authorities and other aviation-related
international organizations.
Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 0.5 hours (rounded up from
0.4103).
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 80 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC.
David S. Burkholder,
Acting Executive Director, Office of International Affairs.
