III. Request for Public Comments
You may submit written comments on
any issue covered by the investigation.
In particular, USTR invites comments
regarding:
• China’s acts, policies, and practices
related to its targeting of the
semiconductor industry for dominance.
• Anticompetitive and non-market
means employed by the PRC in pursuit
of its semiconductor industry targeting
objectives, including political guidance,
directives, and control within state and
private enterprises, activities of stateowned or state-controlled enterprises,
market access restrictions, opaque
regulatory preferences and
discrimination, wage-suppressing labor
practices, massive state support of
industry (including government
guidance funds), and forced technology
transfer (including state-directed cyber
intrusions and cybertheft of intellectual
property).
• Whether China’s acts, policies, and
practices are unreasonable or
discriminatory.
• Whether China’s acts, policies, and
practices burden or restrict U.S.
commerce, and if so, the nature and
level of the burden or restriction. This
would include economic assessments of
the burden or restriction on
semiconductors, semiconductor
manufacturing including foundries,
silicon carbide substrates or other
wafers, and downstream products, with
a particular focus on critical industries,
such as defense, automotive, medical
devices, aerospace, telecommunications,
and power generation and the electrical
grid.
• Whether China’s acts, policies, and
practices are actionable under section
301(b) of the Trade Act, and what
action, if any, should be taken,
including tariff and non-tariff actions.
To be assured of consideration, USTR

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 the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to renew an information
collection. The collection involves
obtaining information from air carriers
to establish legally binding aviation war
risk insurance policies with the FAA.
The information to be collected is
necessary to determine whether
applicants are eligible for insurance and
the amount of coverage necessary;
populate insurance policies with
business information; and meet
conditions of coverage required by each
insurance policy.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by February 28, 2025.

performance; (b) the accuracy of the

OMB Control Number: 2120–0514.
Title: Aviation Insurance.
Form Numbers: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: The FAA Aviation
Insurance Program derives its authority
from Title 49, United States Code,
chapter 443 to issue aviation war risk
insurance to air carriers with and
without premium. FAA coverage is
issued in support of mission objectives
and operations when insurance is not
available commercially on reasonable
terms and conditions. Air carriers never
insured must submit an application
before the FAA can provide coverage.
Applicants provide business
information, aircraft to be covered by
the policy, and information about
commercial insurance policies. As a
condition of FAA coverage, air carriers
must submit any changes to the initial
application information as necessary.
Air carriers must also provide a copy of
their current commercial insurance
policy on an ongoing basis, as well as
information for any new aircraft the air
carrier would like to add to the FAA
policy. This information is provided
electronically to the FAA through a
web-based system. The information is
used to form the insurance policy
between the FAA and the air carrier.
Respondents: Air carriers applying for
aviation insurance and updating
required information.
Frequency: Initial one-time
application and updates to application
information 1–2 times per year.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Initial application—4 hours;
commercial policy submission—10
minutes; business information update—
5 minutes; and aircraft schedule
update—2 minutes per aircraft.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 10
minutes to 4 hours per respondent.
Cumulative total 158 hours (maximum).

2024.
