trends in normal and transport rotorcraft
performance and handling qualities.
The rule contained information
collection requirements that had not yet
been approved by OMB at the time of
publication. In the DATES section of the
rule, the FAA noted that affected parties
did not need to comply with the
information collection requirements
until OMB approved the FAA’s request
to collect the information.
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, OMB approved
the information collection request,
without change, on March 25, 2008, and
assigned OMB Control Number 2120–
0726. This notice informs affected
parties that effective March 25, 2008,
the information collection requirements
for Performance and Handling Qualities
Requirements for Rotorcraft
(Amendments 27–44 and 29–51) are
approved. This information collection
approval expires on March 31, 2011.

Authority for This Rulemaking
RIN 2120–AH87
The FAA’s authority to issue rules on
aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the
United States Code. Subtitle I, Section
106 describes the authority of the FAA
Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the
scope of the agency’s authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated
under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section
44701, ‘‘General requirements,’’ Section
44702, ‘‘Issuance of Certificates,’’ and
section 44704, ‘‘Type certificates,
production certificates, and
airworthiness certificates.’’ Under
section 44701, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations and minimum
standards for practices, methods, and
procedures the Administrator finds
necessary for safety in air commerce.
Under section 44702, the FAA may
issue various certificates including type
certificates, production certificates, and
airworthiness certificates. Under section
44704, the FAA shall issue type
certificates for aircraft, aircraft engines,
propellers, and specified appliances
when we find that the product is
properly designed and manufactured,
performs properly, and meets the
regulations and minimum prescribed
standards. This regulation is within the
scope of that authority because it
promotes safety by updating the existing
minimum prescribed standards used
during the type certification process to
reflect the enhanced performance and
handling quality capabilities of
rotorcraft.

History
The FAA published a direct final rule
with request for comments in the
Federal Register February 21, 2008, (73
FR 9452), Docket No. FAA–2008–0025,
Airspace Docket No. 08–AGL–3. The
FAA uses the direct final rule procedure
for non-controversial rules where the
FAA believes that there will be no
adverse public comment. This direct
final rule advised the public that no
adverse comments were anticipated,
and that unless a written adverse
comment, or a written notice of intent
to submit an adverse comment, was
received within the comment period,
the regulation would become effective
on April 10, 2008.
No adverse comments were received;
thus, this notice confirms that the direct
final rule has become effective on this
date.

final rule, ``Performance and Handling Qualities Requirements for
Rotorcraft'' (73 FR 10987). The rule provided new and revised
airworthiness standards for normal and transport category rotorcraft
due to technological advances in design and operational trends in
normal and transport rotorcraft performance and handling qualities. The
rule contained information collection requirements that had not yet
been approved by OMB at the time of publication. In the DATES section
of the rule, the FAA noted that affected parties did not need to comply
