by email at: Ronda.Thompson@faa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0753.
    Title: Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation of Composite 
Rotorcraft Structures.
    Form Numbers: There are no forms associated with this collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The ``Damage Tolerance and Fatigue Evaluation of 
Composite Rotorcraft Structures'' final rule (76 FR 74655) revised 
parts 27 and 29 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations to add 
new certification standards for normal and transport category 
rotorcraft to address advances in structural damage tolerance and 
fatigue substantiation technology for composite rotorcraft structures. 
To obtain type certification of a rotorcraft, an applicant must show 
that the rotorcraft complies with specific certification requirements. 
To show compliance, the applicant must submit substantiating data. FAA 
engineers or designated engineer representatives from industry review 
the required data submittals to determine if the rotorcraft complies 
with the applicable minimum safety requirements for damage tolerance 
and fatigue evaluation of composite structures and that the rotorcraft 
has no unsafe features in the composite structures.
    Respondents: Approximately 6 applicants for certification for 10.5 
part 27 rotorcraft and 6 part 29 rotorcraft.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
