ACTION: Notice of request for comments. AGENCY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below will be forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comments. The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected burden. A Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following information collection tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 20:48 Feb 02, 2012 Jkt 226001 was published on Friday, November 4, 2011. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before March 5, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: U.S. Department of ´ ´ Transportation Mentor-Protege Pilot Program Evaluation Form; and U.S. Department of Transportation Mentor ´ ´ Protege Pilot Program Annual Report. Abstract: DOT will use the data ´ ´ captured in the Mentor-Protege Pilot Program Evaluation Form to measure program achievement to determine whether the intention of the program to assist small businesses to compete and perform in DOT and federal procurement programs is achieved. DOT will use this data to determine whether program changes are required to increase participation of small businesses in DOT procurement programs. Additionally, DOT will use the data ´ ´ captured in the Mentor Protege Pilot Program Annual Report to measure ´ ´ protege progress against the developmental plan contained in their ´ ´ Mentor Protege agreement and to report the specific actions taken by the mentor to increase the participation of the ´ ´ protege as a prime or subcontractor to DOT. A Federal Register Notice with a 60day comment period soliciting comments on the information collection was published on Friday, November 4, 2011. Only one (1) anonymous comment was received stating that more concrete language is needed to specify the ´ ´ protege’s ability to withdraw from the program voluntarily. Additionally, there does not appear to be any language stating whether a mentor can receive reimbursement for MP program costs; whether it is direct, or through credit against subcontracting goals. It appears that should be added as well. Procedures for the Mentor or the ´ ´ Protege to withdraw from the program voluntarily will be established by both ´ ´ parties in the Mentor-Protege ´ ´ Agreement. The Mentor or the Protege should provide written notice to OSDBU at least 30 days before withdrawing from the program. As for the reimbursement part, the Program Office has determined there will be no incentives, such as reimbursements or credits toward subcontracting goals. PO 00000 Frm 00136 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5615 Type of Information Collection: Request for collection of a new information collection. Affected Public: Prime contractors and small businesses participating in ´ ´ DOT’s Mentor Protege Pilot Program. Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: Approximately 20. Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 20. Estimated Annual Total Burden Hours: 20. Frequency of Collection: One time. ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding the burden estimate, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Office of Management and Budget, Attention: Desk Officer for U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of the Secretary of Transportation, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503, email: oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, fax: (202) 395–5806. Comments are invited on: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Department, including whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the Department’s estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication. Issued in Washington, DC, on January 30, 2012.

ACTION: This notice announces the availability of, and request for public comments on a second draft of Technical Standard Order (TSO)–C151c, Terrain Awareness and Warning System. Comments received from the initial June 2011 release, resulted in changes to the proposed document significant enough to require this public comment offering. DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 5, 2012. ADDRESSES: Send all comments on the proposed technical standard order to: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Aircraft Certification Service, Aircraft Engineering Division, Avionics Systems Branch (AIR–130), 470 L’Enfant Plaza, Suite 4102, Washington, DC 20024. Attn. Ms. Charisse Green. Or you may hand deliver comments to 470 L’Enfant Plaza, Suite 4102, Washington, DC 20024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Charisse Green, AIR–130, Federal Aviation Administration, 470 L’Enfant Plaza, Suite 4102, Washington, DC 20024. Telephone (202) 385–4637, fax (202) 385–4651, email to: Charisse.Green@faa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Comments Invited You are invited to comment on the proposed revised TSO by submitting written data, views, or arguments to the above address. Comments received may be examined, both before and after the closing date at the above address, weekdays except federal holidays, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The Director, Aircraft Certification Service, will consider all comments received on or before the closing date. Background The initial public offering of the draft TSO–C151c offered the following changes: a. Clarification of the 500 foot altitude call out requirement for Class A TAWS equipment. b. Addition of Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance (LPV) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Landing System (GLS) glidepath alerting to the Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) Mode 5 glideslope alert. PO 00000 Frm 00137 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 c. Elimination of the provision to adjust or modify the GPWS envelopes to minimize nuisance alerts based on Forward-Looking Terrain Avoidance (FLTA) and Premature Descent Alert (PDA) functionality without a deviation. d. Allowances for eliminating GPWS nuisance alerts (Appendix 1, paragraph 3.4). e. Requirement for the primary horizontal position source to be GPS, to ensure utilization of the most accurate and consistent horizontal position data. f. Addition of velocity and vertical GPS reporting requirement to inhibit alerting when GPS position is invalid, unless a backup position source is in use. The FAA received numerous comments on: (1) The 500 foot altitude call out; (2) the elimination of the GPWS envelope modification allowance; (3) the GPS horizontal position source requirement; and (4) the position source requirements. A summary of those public comments and the FAA’s resolution are included with the second draft of TSO–C151c. This announcement requesting comments to the revised proposed TSO– C151c, contains the following significant changes: a. Alert suppression for Required Navigation Performance (RNP) requirements are added to Appendix 1, Paragraph 3.1.4. b. The allowance in TSO–C151b to adjust or modify the GPWS alerting thresholds is restored in the current version of TSO–C151c. (We provide clarifying language that deviations need to be accomplished in accordance with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 21.618.) c. The requirement in the initial proposal of TSO–C151c, requiring the Class A 500 ft voice call out on all approaches is changed to the TSO– C151b requirement, for the Class A 500 ft voice call out on non-precision approaches only. d. TSO–C151b and the first offering of the proposed TSO–C151c, both allowed for the 500 ft callout to be made based on radar altimeter height above terrain, or by a comparison of current altitude (barometric or GNSS) above the runway threshold height. This revised proposed TSO–C151c allows the 500 ft voice call out to be the current altitude (barometric or GNSS) above the runway threshold height. Note that in the current proposal, the allowance to make the voice callout based solely on a radio altimeter height above terrain is removed. The rationale is that all TAWS equipped aircraft will annunciate the altitude call referenced to the runway E:\FR\FM\03FEN1.SGM 03FEN1
