SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for FAA’s performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be 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: 2120–6160. Title: General Aviation and Part 135 Activity Survey. Form Numbers: 1800–54. Type of Review: Renewal. Background: Title 49, United States Code, empowers the Secretary of Transportation to collect and disseminate information relative to civil aeronautics, to study the possibilities for development of air commerce and the aeronautical industries, and to make long-range plans for, and formulate policy with respect to, the orderly development and use of the navigable airspace, radar installations and all other aids for air navigation. These data are necessary to assess performance of the Department of Transportation in meeting the strategic goal for General Aviation safety as described in the Destination 2025 Strategic Plan. The agency and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) use the exposure data, both by itself and in conjunction with aircraft age, to calculate accident rates, which are used to compare safety over time and safety performance among different aircraft types and configurations. The agency and the NTSB will use the exposure data for public use aircraft to calculate accident rates for those aircraft. The NTSB is now required to investigate accidents involving public use aircraft. This is a responsibility assigned by Public Law 103–411. Respondents: Owners of general aviation aircraft. Frequency: Annual. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 39,000 responses; 13,000 hours.

Overview CGM has determined that certain laminated glass parts do not fully PO 00000 Frm 00110 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 comply with paragraph S6 of FMVSS No. 205, Glazing Materials (49 CFR 571.205). On May 23, 2018, Guardian petitioned NHTSA for an inconsequential safety decision (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556, Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or Noncompliance) without initially filing a noncompliance report (49 CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports). Although NHTSA could have properly rejected this petition, it did not and prompted Guardian to file the required noncompliance report. Guardian finally did so on April 15, 2020. Guardian filed another noncompliance report dated December 14, 2018 and subsequently filed a second petition on December 20, 2018, for a decision that this second noncompliance is inconsequential as they relate to motor vehicle safety. Because the two petitions address similar issues, this document announces the receipt of the two CGM’s petitions. This notice of receipt of CGM’s petitions is published under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any Agency decision or other exercises of judgment concerning the merits of the petition. II. Equipment Involved Approximately 223 laminated windshields manufactured on March 8, 2018, and shipped to IC Corp Tulsa Bus Plant for installation into Navistar buses are potentially involved. Approximately 1,390 bus door window panes, manufactured between November 1, 2017 and March 29, 2018 are potentially involved. The window panes were sold to Vapor Bus for use in the fabrication of bus doors. Vapor Bus subsequently shipped the bus doors to Nova Bus for installation in their buses. III. Noncompliance CGM explained that the noncompliance is that the markings on the subject laminated glass panes do not fully meet the requirements specified in paragraph S6 of FMVSS No. 205. Specifically, the laminated glass panes shipped to IC Corp Tulsa Bus Plant were marked AS–2, when they should have been marked AS–1 and the bus window panes sold to Nova Bus were marked AS–S, when they should have been marked AS–2. IV. Rule Requirements Paragraph S6 of FMVSS No. 205 includes the requirements relevant to this petition. A manufacturer or distributor who cuts a section of glazing material, to which FMVSS No. 205 applies, for use in a motor vehicle or E:\FR\FM\10NON1.SGM 10NON1

collection activities on the public, including the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
    The summary below describes the ICR that FRA will submit for OMB 
clearance as the PRA requires:
    Title: Track Safety Standards; Concrete Crossties.
