Abstract: This collection mandates a record keeping system to be maintained that will aid aircraft operators in determining the status of the life-limited parts, so those that have reached their life limit will not be inadvertently installed. This collection affects owners, operators, repairman and service providers for aviation/aircraft airframes, engine, propellers, and appliances. Persons performing the removal or installation of the parts and operators of the aircraft must keep a record. This collection requires record keeping of parts removed or installed on type certificated products or deterrence of installation on type certificated products.

Short Statement: There are no program changes at this time. In previous collections estimates were assumed to require an additional half-hour at $54 per hour by a aircraft maintenance technician, whereas this action was not substantiated since the basis for the collection is record keeping action. These actions are not reportable to the Federal Government, but are mandated to be managed internally by the aircraft operator. However, salary costs have remained consistent. Previous depictions listed costs for respondents whereas there are no respondents as described, the collection is for mandated record keeping actions. Previous depictions also described a third party disclosure, this was removed since it is determined to be a duplicated effort.
