Abstract:
This collection encompasses a mandatory recordkeeping requirement, requiring aircraft owners or operators to keep records of compliance with any applicable safety directives issued to an aircraft that has a special airworthiness certificate in the light-sport category (SLSA). Collection frequency is on an as-needed basis. On occasion, an SLSA manufacturer will issue Safety Directives to correct unsafe conditions on their aircraft. Owners or operators must comply with the instructions of the safety directive, record compliance, and retain that record or compliance. The information required to be recorded and retained within the SLSA aircraft records includes the following: • The method of compliance, • The safety directive number and revision date. • If the safety directive involves recurring action, the time and date when the next action is required. Respondents include SLSA owners, operators, mechanics, and SLSA repairmen. The information collected as described within this ICR, is used by FAA safety inspectors, aircraft owners, and aircraft maintenance personnel to determine if the aircraft is safe for flight, prior to operation of the SLSA. The information is also used by FAA aviation safety inspectors and FAA designees to determine if the aircraft can be issued an airworthiness certificate, and by the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) when investigating accidents to determine if there were any known unsafe conditions that contributed to the cause of the accident. The information collected is not disseminated directly to the public. The records of SLSA safety directive compliance are retained by the aircraft owner/operator. The owner/operator must keep the records for the life of the SLSA aircraft and transfer them to the new owner at the time the aircraft is sold. The owner or operator must make the records available for inspection by the Administrator or any authorized representative of the NTSB.

Short Statement:
The information collection burden hours and costs have been adjusted since the 2017 supporting statement due to the following reasons: • The number of SLSA aircraft used in the burden is based on current SLSA registration and a multiplier of SLSA registration growth rate for the previous 3 years. • The wages used to estimate cost burden have been updated to reflect a more accurate estimate of wages for respondents.
