Federal Aviation Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Protection of 
Voluntarily Submitted Information

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.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by June 4, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Barbara 
Hall, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, 
Fort Worth, TX 76177.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Barbara Hall by email at: 
[email protected]; phone: 940-594-5913.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To encourage people to voluntarily submit 
desired information, Sec.  40123 was added to Title 49, United States 
Code, in the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996. Section 
40123 allows the Administrator, through FAA regulations, to protect 
from disclosure voluntarily provided information relating to safety and 
security issues. This rule imposes a negligible paperwork burden for 
certificate holders and fractional ownership programs that choose to 
submit a letter notifying the Administrator that they wish to 
participate in a current program.
    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. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0646.
    Title: Protection of Voluntarily Submitted Information.
    Form Numbers: There are no forms associated with this collection.
    Type of Review: This is a renewal of an information collection.
    Background: Part 193 of the FAA regulations provides that certain 
information submitted to the FAA on a voluntary basis is not to be 
disclosed. Part 193 implements a statutory provision. Section 40123 was 
added to Title 49, United States Code, in the Federal Aviation 
Reauthorization Act of 1996 to encourage people to voluntarily submit 
desired information. Section 40123 allows the Administrator, through 
FAA regulations, to protect from disclosure voluntarily provided 
information relating to safety and security issues.
    The purpose of part 193 is to encourage the aviation community to 
voluntarily share information with the FAA so that the agency may work 
cooperatively with industry to identify modifications to rules, 
policies, and procedures needed to improve safety, security, and 
efficiency of the National Airspace System. FAA programs that are 
covered under part 193 are Voluntary Safety Reporting Programs, Air 
Traffic and Technical Operations Safety Action programs, the Flight 
Operational

[[Page 14715]]

Quality Assurance program, the Aviation Safety Action Program, and the 
Voluntary Disclosure Reporting Program. This rule imposes a negligible 
paperwork burden for certificate holders and factional ownership 
programs that choose to submit a letter notifying the Administrator 
that they wish to participate in a current program.
    The number of respondents has greatly increased since the initial 
approval of this information collection. In order to accurately reflect 
the burden of this information collection going forward, the FAA has 
included total current participants in the programs.
    Respondents: 930.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: One hour.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 930 hours.

     Issued in Washington, DC, on March 22, 2018.

FAA Information Collection Clearance Officer, Performance, Policy, and 
Records Management Branch, ASP-110.
