DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Notice of Intent To Request Revision From the Office of
Management, and Budget of a Currently Approved Information Collection
Activity, Request for Comments; Bird/Other Wildlife Strike Report
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA invites public comments about our intention to request
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve a current
information collection. Wildlife strike data are collected to develop
standards and monitor hazards to aviation. Data identify wildlife
strike control requirements and provide in-service data on aircraft
component failure.
On March 19, 2009 [74 FR 11698], the FAA proposed that bird strike
information voluntarily reported to the Agency and entered into the
FAA's Wildlife Hazard Database be designated by an FAA order as
protected from public disclosure in accordance with the provisions of
14 CFR part 193, under 49 U.S.C. 40123. Comments from the public and
aviation industry were solicited through April 20, 2009. Review of the
comments found that the majority came from individuals who did not
support protection of the data. The aviation industry provided very few
comments and also showed little support. The FAA decided not to proceed
with the Part 193 protection for the wildlife strike database. This
notice seeks comments on the new adjusted burden imposed by the data
collection based on more current figures than those reported when the
collection was previously approved in 2007.
DATES: Please submit comments by August 4, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carla Mauney on (202) 267-9895, or by
e-mail at: Carla.Mauney@faa.gov.
