RSPA's Part 191
reporting requirements are approved through 3/31/86 only. When they
are resubmitted for OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act,
the justification statement must include a progress report on the
study referred to in the May 3, 1984 Federal Register notice, which
was to address the concerns raised in NTSB comments submitted
during the Part 191 rulemaking. This progress report must describe
the merits of each of the issues the NTSB has raised, including
issues that may go beyond the recordkeeping requirements of Part
191 itself. RSPA must provide a copy of the progress report to the
NTSB at least 30 days before it is submitted and invite the NTSB to
forward its specific recommendations, if any, to OMB while the
request to reauthorize this information collection is pending.
