Sport Aircraft; Modifications to Rules for Sport Pilots and Flight

Collection
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; OMB approval of information collection.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document announces the Office of Management and Budget's
(OMB's) approval of the information collection requirement contained in
the FAA's final rule, ``Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for the
Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft; Modifications to Rules for Sport
Pilots and Flight Instructors With a Sport Pilot Rating,'' which was
published on February 1, 2010.
DATES: The final rule published on February 1, 2010, became effective
on April 2, 2010. However, because it contained information collection
requirements, compliance with the provisions contained in Sec. 91.417
(a) was not required until those collection requirements are approved.
This document announces that OMB approval was received on July 7, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 1, 2010, the final rule,
``Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for the Operation of Light-Sport
Aircraft; Modifications to Rules for Sport Pilots and Flight
Instructors With a Sport Pilot Rating'' was published in the Federal
Register (75 FR 5204). In that rule, the FAA amended its requirements
for sport pilots and flight instructors with a sport pilot rating to
address airman certification and operational issues that arose after
regulations for the certification of aircraft and airmen for the
operation of light-sport aircraft were implemented in 2004.
In the DATES section of the final rule, the FAA noted that affected
parties were not required to comply with the new information collection
requirements in Sec. 91.417 (incorrectly referenced in the DATES
section as Sec. 91.419) until OMB approved the FAA's request to
collect the information. Paragraph (a) of Sec. 91.417 contained a new
requirement for owners and operators of special light-sport aircraft
(SLSA) to retain a record of the current status of applicable safety
directives and transfer that information at the time of the sale of
that aircraft. That information collection requirement had not been
approved by OMB at the time of publication.
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the FAA submitted a
copy of the new information collection requirements to OMB for its
review. OMB approved the collection on July 7, 2010, and assigned the
information collection OMB Control Number 2120-0730, which expires on
July 31, 2013.
This document is being published to inform affected parties of the
approval, and to announce that the new information collection
requirement of Sec. 91.417 (a) became effective on July 7, 2010.
Issued in Washington, DC, on July 15, 2010.

Director, Office of Rulemaking.
