issues ADs.
    The FAA issues ADs when an unsafe condition is discovered on a 
specific aircraft type. Specific information may be required from 
aircraft owners/operators if an unsafe condition requires more 
information to develop corrective action. If it is necessary for the 
aircraft manufacturer or airworthiness authority to evaluate the 
information, owners/operators will be instructed to send the 
information to them.
    Respondents: Approximately 1,120 aircraft owners/operators.
