[Docket No. FAA-2019-0228]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Operations
Specifications, Part 129 Application
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. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day
comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of
information was published on April 3, 2019. There were no comments. The
FAA assesses the information collected and issues operations
specifications to foreign air carriers. These operations specifications
assure the foreign air carrier's ability to navigate and communicate
safely within the U.S. National Airspace System. The FAA, based on
additional data analysis, has amended the number of respondents and
burden to include that on an existing operators. An existing operator
is any operator who has already received their initial set of
operations specifications.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 12, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to
[email protected], or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management
and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW, Washington,
DC 20503.

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: 2120-0749.
Title: Operations Specifications, Part 129 Application.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this
collection.

Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on April 3, 2019 (84 FR 13095). The final rule published
in 2013, clarified and standardized the rules for applications by
foreign air carriers and foreign persons for operations specifications
issued under 14 CFR part 129 and established standards for amendment,
suspension and termination of those operations specifications. The
final rule also applied to foreign air carriers and foreign persons
operating U.S.-registered aircraft in common carriage solely outside
the United States. This

action was necessary to update the process for issuing operations
specifications, and it established a regulatory basis for current
practices, such as amending, terminating, and suspending operations
specifications.
