SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 4, 2015, the FAA published a final rule entitled ``Air 
Carrier Contract Maintenance Requirements'' (80 FR 11537). This final 
rule amends the maintenance regulations for domestic, flag, and 
supplemental operations, and for commuter and on-demand operations for 
aircraft type certificated with a passenger seating configuration of 10 
seats or more (excluding any pilot seat). The new rules require 
affected air carriers and operators to develop policies, procedures, 
methods, and instructions for performing contract maintenance that are 
acceptable to the FAA, and include them in their maintenance manuals. 
This rule also requires the air carriers and operators to provide a 
list to the FAA of all persons with whom they contract their 
maintenance. These changes are needed because contract maintenance has 
increased to over 70 percent of all air carrier maintenance, and 
numerous investigations have shown deficiencies in maintenance 
performed by contract maintenance providers.
    This final rule will result in new information collection 
requirements. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3507(d)), the FAA submitted these information collection 
amendments to OMB for its review.
    On February 25, 2016, OMB approved the information collection 
request. The OMB control number is 2120-0766.

Technical Amendment

    The FAA lists OMB control numbers assigned to its information 
collection activities in 14 CFR 11.201(b). Accordingly, this technical 
amendment updates 14 CFR 11.201(b) to display OMB control number 2120-
0766 associated with the information collection activities in the final 
rule, Air Carrier Contract Maintenance Requirements. See 80 FR 11537.
    Because this amendment is technical in nature and results in no 
substantive change, the FAA finds that the notice and public procedures 
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. For the same reason, the FAA 
finds good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the amendment 
effective in less than 30 days.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 11

    Administrative practice and procedure, Reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements.

The Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing the Federal Aviation 
Administration amends 14 CFR Chapter I as follows:
