SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 6, 2007, the FAA published the final rule, ``Experimental
Permits for Reusable Suborbital Rockets,'' in the Federal Register. The
rule established application requirements for an operator of a manned
or unmanned reusable suborbital rocket to obtain an experimental
permit. The FAA also established operating requirements and
restrictions on launch and re-entry of reusable suborbital rockets
operated under a permit. The requirements above are in Title 14 of the
Code of Federal Regulations parts 401, 404, 405, 406, 413, 415, 420,
431, and 437.
We noted, in the ``Paperwork Reduction Act'' section of the final
rule, that affected parties did not need to comply with the information
collection requirements of the rule until the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approved the FAA's request to collect the information.
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, OMB approved the
FAA's request for new information collection on June 1, 2007, and
assigned the information collection OMB Control Number 2120-0722. The
control number was not available when the final rule was published,
thus necessitating publication of this notice. The FAA request was
approved by OMB without change and expires on June 30, 2010.

Administrator to publish this notice. The final rule (72 FR 17001)
