Agency Information Collection
Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of
Information Collection: General
Operating and Flight Rules FAR 91 and
FAR 107
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our
intention to request Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to renew an information
collection. The collection involves
information required to process a
request for a Minimum Equipment List
(MEL) Letter of Authorization (LOA) in
accordance with certain regulations
prescribing general operating and flight
rules. The information to be collected is
necessary because a written request is
required to obtain an MEL LOA. The
information collected includes only
those details essential to evaluate the
request, approve the MEL, and issue the
LOA.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by June 28, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget. Comments should be addressed
to the attention of the Desk Officer,
Department of Transportation/FAA, and
sent via electronic mail to
[email protected], or faxed
to (202) 395–6974, or mailed to the
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102,

minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
OMB Control Number: 2120–0005.
Title: General Operating and Flight
Rules FAR 91 and FAR 107.
Form Numbers: FAA Form 8130–6.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Background: The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collection of information was published
on July 10, 2020 (85 FR 41669). A
person who desires to operate an aircraft
with inoperative instruments or
equipment under the provisions of 14
CFR 91.213(a) must receive approval for
their minimum equipment list and be
issued an LOA to use that MEL. The
person must submit the MEL for
approval along with a written request
for an LOA to the responsible Flight
Standards office. The information
collected includes only those details
essential to evaluate the request,
approve the MEL, and issue the LOA.
This information includes the aircraft
operator’s name and address, the name
and telephone number or email address
of the person responsible for aircraft
operations, aircraft make, model, series,
aircraft registration number, aircraft
serial number, the proposed MEL, and
nonessential equipment and furnishings
list, if applicable.
The FAA currently issues MEL
approvals under the provisions of
§ 91.213(a) through two methods: (1)
D095 LOA and (2) D195 LOA. The FAA
is simplifying § 91.213(a) MEL
approvals by transitioning to one
method of approval, LOA D195, and
streamlining the application and
approval process to reduce regulatory
costs, burdens, and delays. While
developing this new § 91.213(a) LOA
policy, the FAA discovered that
approval for information collection was
inadvertently overlooked during the
§ 91.213 rulemaking process. We now
seek to remedy that omission.
Additionally, the FAA is revising this
collection request to remove sections 14
CFR 91.9 and 91.215(a), as the FAA has
determined that those sections do not
contain collections covered by the
Paperwork Reduction Act.
Respondents: Approximately 2,638
aircraft operators of U.S.-registered
aircraft who desire to operate under 14
CFR 91.213(a).
Frequency: One time for the initial
request for MEL approval and LOA
issuance, and thereafter for MEL
revision.

Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 20 hours for initial approval;
4 hours for revision.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: We
estimate the average annual burden for
the first 10 years will be 38,792 hours.
Due to implementation of new MEL
policy, we anticipate an annual burden
of 55,392 hours for the first 5 years and
22,192 hours thereafter, resulting in a
10-year average of 38,792 hours per
year. Our rationale follows:
The FAA Aerospace Forecast for
Fiscal Years 2020–2040 projects the
general aviation fleet to decline slightly,
rounded up to an average of 0% change
annually. Therefore, we will use the
current average of 1308 part 91 MEL
LOAs issued per year. Over the past 4
years, 81% of these LOAs were for
initial MEL approval and 19% were for
MEL revision. We estimate a 20 hour
burden for an initial MEL request and a
4 hour burden for an MEL revision. This
results in an annual burden of 22,192
hours.
1,308 × 81% = 1,060; 1,060 × 20 hours
= 21,200 hours
1,308 × 19% = 248; 248 × 4 hours = 992
hours
21,200 hours + 992 hours = 22,192
hours
Additionally, there are 8,300 active
D095 LOAs. The new FAA policy will
phase out the use of D095 over five
years. Holders of D095 LOAs who wish
to operate under § 91.213(a) must
request D195 LOA issuance. Therefore,
on average, for the first 5 years, we
anticipate an additional 1,660 MEL LOA
requests. These would all be initial MEL
requests and result in an additional
33,200 hours each year for the first 5
years.
1,660 × 20 hours = 33,200 hours
Therefore, for the first 5 years, we
anticipate an annual burden of 55,392
hours (22,192 + 33,200) and 22,192
hours thereafter, resulting in an average
of 38,792 hours per year.
As a result of this addition, and the
removal of sections 14 CFR 91.9 and
91.215(a), the FAA estimates that the
total annual burden in this Information
Collection Request is 282,129 hours and
1,772,836 responses.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 24,
2021.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS
AFFAIRS
Joint Biomedical Laboratory Research
and Development and Clinical Science
Research and Development Services
Scientific Merit Review Board, Notice
of Meeting
The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) gives notice under Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C.
App.2, that a meeting of the Joint
Biomedical Laboratory Research and
Development and Clinical Science
Research and Development Services
Scientific Merit Review Board (JBL/CS
SMRB) will be held Wednesday, June
23, 2021, via WebEx. The meeting will
begin at 3:00 p.m. and end at 5:00 p.m.
EDT. The meeting will have an open
session from 3:00 p.m. until 3:30 p.m.
and a closed session from 3:30 p.m.
until 5:00 p.m. EDT.
The purpose of the Board is to
provide expert review of the scientific
quality, budget, safety and missionrelevance of investigator-initiated
research applications submitted for VA
merit review consideration and to offer
advice for research program officials on
program priorities and policies.
The purpose of the open session is to
meet with the JBL/CS Service Directors
to discuss the overall policies and
process for scientific review, as well as
disseminate information among the
Board members regarding the VA
research priorities.
The purpose of the closed session is
to provide recommendations on the
scientific quality, budget, safety and
mission relevance of investigatorinitiated research applications
submitted for VA merit review
evaluation. Applications submitted for
review include various medical
specialties within the general areas of
biomedical, behavioral and clinical
science research. The JBL/CS SMRB
meeting will be closed to the public for
the review, discussion and evaluation of
initial and renewal research
applications, which involve reference to
staff and consultant critiques of research
applications. Discussions will deal with
scientific merit of each application and
qualifications of personnel conducting
the studies, the disclosure of which
would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy.
Additionally, premature disclosure of
research information could significantly
obstruct implementation of proposed
agency action regarding the research
applications. As provided by subsection
10(d) of Public Law 92–463, as amended
by Public Law 94–409, closing the
subcommittee meetings is in accordance
