# Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Safe Disposition of Life-Limited Aircraft Parts
**AGENCY:**
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
**ACTION:**
Notice and request for comments.
**SUMMARY:**
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew a previously approved information collection. This collection involves response to the Wendall H. Ford Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century which requires that all persons who remove any life-limited aircraft part have a method to prevent the installation of that part after it has reached its life limit.
**DATES:**
Written comments should be submitted by August 18, 2017.
**ADDRESSES:**
Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ronda Thompson, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591.
**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**
Ronda Thompson by email at: *[email protected];* phone: 202-267-1416.
**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
*Public Comments Invited:* You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
*OMB Control Number:* 2120-0665.
*Title:* Safe Disposition of Life-Limited Aircraft Parts.
*Form Numbers:* There are no FAA forms associated with this collection.
*Type of Review:* Renewal of an information collection.
*Background:* 14 CFR part 43 requires a record keeping system to be maintained that will aid aircraft operators in determining the status of the life-limited parts from inadvertently being installed that have reached their life limit. This action reduces the risk of life-limited parts being used beyond their life limits. This action also requires that manufacturers of life-limited parts provide marking instructions, when requested.
*Respondents:* Approximately 8,000 air carriers, repair stations, and mechanics.
*Frequency:* On occasion.
*Estimated Average Burden per Response:* 15 minutes.
*Estimated Total Annual Burden:* 104,000 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on June 5, 2017.
