approval to renew a previously approved information collection. 
Applicable federal regulations prescribe certification standards for 
aircraft, aircraft engines, propellers appliances and parts. The

eligibility. The respondents are aircraft parts designers, 
manufacturers, and aircraft owners.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 26, 2018.

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

    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

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0018.
    Title: Certification Procedures for Products and Parts.
    Form Numbers: FAA Forms 8110-12, 8130-1, 8130-6, 8130-9, 8130-12.
    Type of Review: Renewal with change.
    Background: 14 CFR part 21 prescribes certification standards for 
aircraft, aircraft engines, propellers appliances and parts. The 
information collected is used to determine compliance and applicant 
eligibility. FAA Airworthiness inspectors, designated inspectors, 
engineers, and designated engineers review the required data submittals 
to determine that aviation products and articles and their 
manufacturing facilities comply with the applicable requirements, and 
that the products and articles have no unsafe features.
    This request is to make changes to FAA Form 8130-6, APPLICATION FOR 
U.S. AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE to include new entries for the SPECIAL 
AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE Categories, Section II. CERTIFICATION 
REQUESTED, BLOCK 4. EXPERIMENTAL, UNMANNED AIRCRAFT. The new categories 
to be added to the form will be annotated by blocks 9D--SHOW COMPLIANCE 
WITH CFR and 9E--EXHIBITION.
    The FAA continues to move toward the electronic collection of data 
for some of its information collections and electronic signatures. As 
such, the FAA is working to develop the ASKME Segment 2 Airworthiness 
Application (AWC) that would allow the electronic collection of the 
specific information requested in these forms. Testing for this effort 
is underway with scheduled field implementation targeted for early 
2019.
    Respondents: Approximately 16,773 aircraft parts designers, 
manufacturers, and aircraft owners.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: .55 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 12,916.6 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on September 18, 2018.

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