The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is asking for public comments on its plan to renew a specific information collection related to the certification of aircraft and parts. This collection involves regulations that set standards for the certification of aircraft components like engines and propellers, and it's used to ensure manufacturers and aircraft owners meet necessary compliance and safety requirements. Comments are invited by February 22, 2021, and information collected will be used to determine compliance with these standards. The FAA estimates that about 50,700 respondents will participate, with each response taking about 30 minutes on average.
