Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: International Role of the Federal Aviation Administration

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 an information collection. The collection involves questioning, via email, telephone or other means, foreign entities to determine what collaborative opportunities exist. The information to be collected is necessary to accomplish the statutory requirements of Title 49 United States Code (49 U.S.C.) Sec. 40104 to "provide technical assistance on any other aspect of aviation safety that the Administrator determines is likely to enhance international aviation safety." The information collection will also inform the FAA's International Strategy, which is the agency's mechanism for fulfilling its international role. The information collection directly supports the International Strategy by enabling the FAA to adapt and strengthen its longstanding international presence in response to emerging opportunities and risks facing the U.S. aerospace industry from abroad.
