SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq), the FAA invites public comment on four currently approved 
public information collections which will be submitted to OMB for 
renewal.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 25, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed or delivered to the FAA at the

on (202) 267-9895, or by e-mail at: Judy.Street@faa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. Therefore, the FAA solicits 
comments on the following current collections of information. Comments 
should evaluate the necessity of the collection, the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden, the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected, and possible ways to minimize the 
burden of the collection.
    1. 2120-0057, Safety Improvements Report Accident Prevention 
Counselor Activity Reports. The affected public for this collection are 
pilots, airport operators, and charter and commuter aircraft operators 
engaging in air transportation. Safety improvement reports are used by 
airmen to notify the FAA of hazards to flight operations. Accident 
Prevention Counselor Activity Reports are used by counselors to advise 
the FAA of Accident Prevention Program accomplishments. The current 
estimated annual reporting burden is 1,769 hours.
    2. 2120-0539, Implementation to the Equal Access to Justice Act. 
The information is needed to determine an applicant's eligibility for 
an award of attorney's fees and other expenses under the Equal Access 
to Justice Act. The current estimated annual reporting burden is 600 
hours.
    3. 2120-0574, Aviation Safety Counselor of the Year Award. The form 
is used to nominate private citizens for recognition of their volunteer 
service to the FAA. The agency will use the information on the form to 
select nine regional winners and one national winner. The respondents 
are private citizens involved in aviation. The current estimated annual 
reporting burden is 180 hours.
    4. 2120-0632, Office of Dispute Resolution Procedures for Protests 
and Contact Disputes, 14 CFR 17. 14 CFR part 17 sets forth procedures 
for filing solicitation protests and contract claims in the FAA's 
Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition. The regulations seek 
factual and legal information from protesters or claimants primarily 
through written submissions. The current estimated annual reporting 
burden is 820 hours.

    Dated: Issued in Washington, DC, on August 19, 2004.
