Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 737-400, -500, -600, -700,
-700C, -800, and -900 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Boeing Model 737-400, -500, -600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series
airplanes. This AD requires an inspection to determine the part and
serial numbers of the windshield wiper motors for the pilot's and first
officer's windshields, and doing applicable corrective actions. This AD
results from two reports that the left and right windshield wipers
stopped working in flight. We are issuing this AD to prevent

failure of the windshield wipers in wet weather, which could result in
decreased visibility for the flightcrew.

DATES: This AD is effective December 30, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of December 30,
2008.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to
certain Boeing Model 737-400, -500, -600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900
series airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on
February 8, 2008 (73 FR 7492). That NPRM proposed to require an
inspection to determine the part and serial numbers of the windshield
wiper motors for the pilot's and first officer's windshields, and the
applicable corrective action.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Request for Clarification of Certain Language

    Boeing asks that the language in Note 1 of the NPRM, which
specifies ``determining the windshield wiper motor has been previously
replaced,'' be changed for clarification to ``determining whether the
power module replacement has been previously accomplished.'' Boeing
states that the list included as part of Rosemount Aerospace Service
Bulletin 2313M-347/2313M-348-30-01, dated June 30, 2006, provides
information for determining whether the power module has been replaced
with a properly soldered module.
    We agree that the language in Note 1 of the AD should be clarified
because the part description is different in Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-30A1059, dated September 10, 2007, and Boeing Service
Bulletin 737-30A1057, Revision 1, dated October 31, 2007 (referred to
in the AD as the appropriate sources of service information for
accomplishing the specified actions), and Rosemount Aerospace Service
Bulletin 2313M-347/2313M-348-30-01, dated June 30, 2006 (referred to as
an additional source of service information for determining the part
and serial numbers of the windshield wiper motors). Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-30A1059, dated September 10, 2007, and Boeing
Service Bulletin 737-30A1057, Revision 1, dated October 31, 2007,
specify replacing the windshield wiper motor, and Rosemount Aerospace
Service Bulletin 2313M-347/2313M-348-30-01, dated June 30, 2006,
specifies replacing the power module of the windshield wiper motor. We
disagree with using Boeing's suggested wording, which could result in
confusion since the Boeing service bulletins specify replacing the
motor instead of replacing the power module. We have changed Note 1 for
clarification to include the description specified in Rosemount
Aerospace Service Bulletin 2313M-347/2313M-348-30-01, dated June 30,
2006.

Request for Credit for Previously Accomplished Actions

    Boeing also asks that we change paragraph (h) of the NPRM to
include credit for Model 737-400 and -500 series airplanes on which the
actions specified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-30A1059, dated
September 10, 2007, were done before the effective date of the AD.
Boeing states that Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-30A1059, dated
September 10, 2007, provides instructions for corrective action for
those airplanes.
    We acknowledge and agree with Boeing's intent that credit should be
given for actions done before the effective date of the AD. However, we
do not agree to include credit for using the original issue of the
service bulletin to do the actions specified in paragraph (h) of the
AD. Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-30A1059, dated September 10,
2007, is already referred to in paragraph (f) of this AD as the
appropriate source of service information for accomplishing the
inspection and corrective actions for Model 737-400 and -500 series
airplanes. Paragraph (e) of the AD specifies that compliance with the
AD before the effective date (comply within the compliance times
specified unless already done) meets the requirements of the AD. We
have made no change to the AD in this regard.

Requests To Clarify Requirements for Maintenance Record Review and Re-
Identifying the Wiper Motor Part Number

    Southwest Airlines (SWA), KLM Fleet Services, and Airtran Airways
request clarification of the review of airplane maintenance records and
reidentification of the wiper motor part number, as specified in
paragraph (f) of the NPRM.
    SWA asks why the wiper motor must be re-identified while on the
airplane since the review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable
in lieu of an on-airplane inspection of the wiper motor part number and
serial number. SWA also notes that the referenced service information
requires operators to re-identify the part number of a wiper motor that
has been determined to be in good and acceptable working condition. SWA
states that re-identifying the part number would be more efficient and
convenient if it could be done at the manufacturing facility during
maintenance when the motor is removed for another reason.
    KLM states that it is unclear if it is still mandatory to re-
identify the wiper motor part number within the 60-month compliance
time after reviewing the maintenance records, knowing that the wiper
motor serial numbers are outside the affected modification range
specified in Rosemount Aerospace Service Bulletin 2313M-347/2313M-348-
30-01, dated June 30, 2006. KLM adds that intensive work is necessary
if the wiper motor must be re-identified even if it is not affected.
    AirTran reiterates the views of SWA and KLM and adds that units
with replaced modules have eliminated the unsafe condition described in
the NPRM. AirTran states that the wiper

motors are located in a difficult location to view or access, and they
cannot be re-identified while installed. AirTran notes that gaining
access to the airplane, removing the wiper motor, re-identifying the
motor, and re-installing the motor is an undue burden on the airlines,
since the re-identification does not improve the safety of the
airplane. AirTran suggests that the final rule specify that, for
airplanes having a wiper motor module that has been replaced, as
indicated in Appendix A of Rosemount Aerospace Service Bulletin 2313M-
347/2313M-348-30-01, dated June 30, 2006, the part number may be
changed at the next shop visit, as opposed to changing the part number
in service.
    We agree with the commenters' concerns. Operators may review the
maintenance records to comply with the AD during the 60-month
compliance time proposed in the NPRM, as long as applicable corrective
actions are also done in that time. In light of the comments provided,
we have determined that, in this case, if the wiper motor is not
affected by the requirements of the AD, re-identifying the wiper motor
part number is not necessary to ensure an acceptable level of safety.
Operators should not be required to remove and replace a part if it is
deemed to be an acceptable part. We have added this clarification to
paragraph (f) of this AD accordingly.

Request for Clarification of Wiper Motor Replacement Requirement

    SWA asks that the wiper motor replacement be required only if the
part number and serial number cannot be read or are listed in Appendix
A of Rosemount Aerospace Service Bulletin 2313M-347/2313M-348-30-01,
dated June 30, 2006, with the ``Module Completed'' column marked as
``No'' (as specified in Steps 1.a. and 1.d., Section 3.B.--Work
Instructions) of Boeing Service Bulletin 737-30A1057, Revision 1, dated
October 31, 2007.
    We agree with SWA. The procedures specified in Steps 1.a. and 1.d.
(and in Steps 2.a. and 2.d.) of the Work Instructions already specify
replacement of the wiper motor if the part number and serial number
cannot be read or are listed in Appendix A of Rosemount Aerospace
Service Bulletin 2313M-347/2313M-348-30-01, dated June 30, 2006, with
the ``Module Completed'' column marked as ``No''. The procedures in
Steps 1.b. and 1.c. of the Work Instructions specify re-identification
of the part if the part number and serial number are not listed in
Appendix A or are listed in Appendix A of Rosemount Aerospace Service
Bulletin 2313M-347/2313M-348-30-01, dated June 30, 2006, with the
``Module Completed'' column marked as ``Yes.'' The replacement is
required only if it meets the conditions specified in Boeing Service
Bulletin 737-30A1057, Revision 1, dated October 31, 2007, Steps 1.a.
and 1.d. (or Steps 2.a. and 2.d.), of the Work Instructions. Therefore,
we have made no change to the AD in this regard.

Request To Clarify Certain Part Numbers in Paragraphs (g) and (i) of
the NPRM

    Air Transport Association (ATA) on behalf of its member Delta
Airlines states that the part numbers specified in paragraphs (g) and
(i) of the NPRM have variations (P/N 2313M347-3 or P/N 2313M348-3),
which should be noted in those paragraphs.
    We agree with the commenters because the part numbers are the same,
the variation is only in the dashes; therefore we have added those
alternate part numbers to paragraphs (g) and (i) of this AD for
clarification.

Request To Correct Typographical Error in Rosemount Service Bulletin

    ATA on behalf of its member Delta Airlines states that Rosemount
Aerospace Service Bulletin 2313M-347/2313M-348-30-01, dated June 30,
2006, has a typographical error in Appendix A as follows: For Model
Number 2313M-348-3, serial number (S/N) ``M252'' should be S/N
``M0252.'' Delta adds that this determination was made in cooperation
with Rosemount.
    Based on the information provided by the commenter, and
confirmation from Rosemount Aerospace, we agree that the serial number
specified in Appendix A of Rosemount Aerospace Service Bulletin 2313M-
347/2313M-348-30-01, dated June 30, 2006, is incorrect. We have added a
new Note 2 to this AD to clarify the correct serial number as follows:
For Model Number 2313M-348-3, S/N ``M252'' should be S/N ``M0252.'' We
have been informed that Rosemount Aerospace Service Bulletin 2313M-347/
2313M-348-30-01, dated June 30, 2006, is being revised and the correct
serial number will be included in the revision.

Request To Clarify Certain Requirements in Boeing Service Bulletin

    ATA on behalf of its member Delta Airlines states that Boeing
Service Bulletin 737-30A1057, dated October 6, 2006, referred to an
incorrect airplane maintenance manual (AMM) section for the Windshield
Wiper Motor System Operational Test. In addition, that service bulletin
did not provide wiper motor condition information in the Work
Instructions. That information was provided only in the Compliance
section of Boeing Service Bulletin 737-30A1057, dated October 6, 2006.
    We infer that the commenters are asking that paragraph (h) of the
NPRM be revised to note these corrections; we agree with the
commenters. There were mistakes in Boeing Service Bulletin 737-30A1057,
dated October 6, 2006, which were corrected in Boeing Service Bulletin
737-30A1057, Revision 1, dated October 31, 2007 (referred to in the AD
as the appropriate source of service information for accomplishing the
actions). The commenter states that it identified and incorporated the
changes, which resulted in the issuance of Boeing Service Bulletin 737-
30A1057, Revision 1, dated October 31, 2007. The AMM section specified
accomplishing the operational test in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
737-30A1057, dated October 6, 2006, is AMM 30-42-21/501; the correct
AMM section specified for accomplishing the operational test in Boeing
Service Bulletin 737-30A1057, Revision 1, dated October 31, 2007, is
AMM 30-42-00/501. We have clarified paragraph (h) of this AD to refer
to Boeing Service Bulletin 737-30A1057, Revision 1, dated October 31,
2007, to ensure that the mistakes in the original issue of the service
bulletin have been addressed.

Request To Extend Compliance Time

    ATA on behalf of its member American Airlines (AAL) notes concern
with the 60-month compliance time specified for accomplishing the
actions specified in the NPRM. AAL states that its standard maintenance
interval is 72 months; therefore, a 60-month compliance time could
unnecessarily drive up out-of-service time and related costs. AAL
recommends that we extend the compliance time to 72 months to align
with industry standard material review board task intervals.
    We do not agree to extend the compliance time. In developing an
appropriate compliance time for this action, we considered the urgency
associated with the subject unsafe condition, the availability of
required parts, and the practical aspect of accomplishing the required
actions within a period of time that corresponds to the normal
scheduled maintenance for most affected operators. In light of these
items, we have determined that a 60-month compliance time is
appropriate. However, under the provisions of paragraph (j) of the AD,
we will consider requests to adjust the compliance time if sufficient
data are submitted to substantiate that the new

compliance time would provide an acceptable level of safety. We have
made no change to the AD in this regard.

Request To Allow an Alternative Method for Part Number Marking

    SWA asks that another method of part marking be included in the
NPRM. SWA asks why ``classification RO'' (Rubber Stamp Only per
BAC5307) must be used to change the part number on the wiper motor. SWA
asks that the NPRM allow another form of acceptable marking for the
part number, such as permanent marker.
    We agree that any permanent method of part marking is acceptable.
We have added a new Note 3 to this AD to clarify that any permanent
method is acceptable.

Request To Change Parts Installation Paragraph

    WestJet asks that paragraph (i) of the NPRM (Parts Installation) be
changed as follows: ``As of the effective date of this AD, no person
may install on any aircraft a Rosemount Aerospace windshield wiper
motor having P/N 2313M-347-3 or P/N 2313M-348-3 that has a serial
number that is listed in Rosemount Aerospace Service Bulletin 2313M-
347/2313M-348-30-01.'' WestJet states that windshield wiper motors
having P/N 2313M-347-3 and P/N 2313M-348-3 with serial numbers outside
of the affected modification range, that have not yet been ``re-
labeled'' per Rosemount Aerospace Service Bulletin 2313M-347/2313M-348-
30-01, dated June 30, 2006, may be installed on any aircraft. WestJet
adds that this change would allow operators to install a ``mechanically
serviceable'' part (that has not yet been ``re-labeled'') on an
aircraft.
    We do not agree to change paragraph (h) of the AD. Common industry
practice is to control part configuration by part number, not by serial
number. While we already agreed that it is not necessary to remove
parts from the airplane just to revise the part numbers, we do not
agree that it is acceptable to install the subject replacement parts
without revising the part number. Ensuring that only parts with correct
part numbers are installed on the airplane is an important part of
maintaining configuration control and safe operation of the fleet. We
have made no change to the AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We also determined that
these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 767 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
also estimate that it takes about 1 work-hour per product to comply
with the inspection. The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based
on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators
to be $61,360 or $80 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil airplane in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2008-24-05 Boeing: Amendment 39-15745. Docket No. FAA-2008-0152;
Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-348-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective December 30,
2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to the Boeing airplanes identified in
paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any

    (2) Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes
as identified in Boeing Service Bulletin 737-30A1057, Revision 1,
dated October 31, 2007.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD results from two reports that the left and right
windshield wipers stopped working in flight. We are issuing this AD
to prevent failure of the windshield wipers in wet weather, which
could result in decreased visibility for the flightcrew.

Compliance

    (e) Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

Inspection and Corrective Actions if Necessary

    (f) Except as provided by paragraph (g) of this AD: Within 60
months after the effective date of this AD, inspect to determine the
part number and serial number of the windshield wiper motors for the
pilot's and first officer's windshields, and do all applicable
corrective actions, by accomplishing all of the applicable actions
specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-30A1059, dated September 10, 2007 (for Model 737-400
and -500 series airplanes); or Boeing Service Bulletin 737-30A1057,
Revision 1, dated October 31, 2007 (for Model 737-600, -700,

-700C, -800, and -900 series airplanes); as applicable. A review of
airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of the inspection
required by paragraph (f) of this AD if the part number and serial
number of the windshield wiper motors can be conclusively determined
from that review. Following the inspection or records review, as
applicable, for any windshield wiper motor that is found not to be
affected by the requirements of this AD, re-identifying the part
number is not required.

    Note 1: Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-30A1059, dated
September 10, 2007; and Boeing Service Bulletin 737-30A1057,
Revision 1, dated October 31, 2007; refer to Rosemount Aerospace
Service Bulletin 2313M-347/2313M-348-30-01, dated June 30, 2006, as
an additional source of service information for determining whether
the windshield wiper motor (identified in the Rosemount service
bulletin as the ``power module'') has been previously replaced and
for changing the part number.

    Note 2: Appendix A of Rosemount Aerospace Service Bulletin
2313M-347/2313M-348-30-01, dated June 30, 2006, identifies an
incorrect serial number for Model Number 2313M-348-3. Serial number
M252'' should be M0252.

    Note 3: Rosemount Aerospace Service Bulletin 2313M-347/2313M-
348-30-01, dated June 30, 2006, specifies marking affected parts
with an approved opaque material per BAC5307, classification RO,
with an approved permanent marking material; however, for the
purposes of this AD, any permanent method of part marking is
acceptable.

Credit for Modification Done According to AD 2003-20-13

    (g) For Model 737-400, -500, -600, -700, and -800 series
airplanes: Accomplishing the modification required by paragraph (b)
of AD 2003-20-13, amendment 39-13331, is acceptable for compliance
with the requirements of paragraph (f) of this AD, provided that no
Rosemount Aerospace windshield wiper motor having P/N 2313M-347-3 or
P/N 2313M-348-3 (P/N 2313M347-3 or P/N 2313M348-3) has been

Federal Aviation Administration

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0183]

Access to Aircraft Situation Display to Industry (ASDI) and
National Airspace System Status Information (NASSI) Data

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed process for limiting aircraft data displayed
via ASDI; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On December 16, 2011, the FAA published a notice of an interim
policy, instructing aircraft owners and operators on how they can limit
the FAA's dissemination of their aircraft data via the FAA's ASDI
program. The notice indicated that the FAA would later propose specific
procedures by which aircraft owners and operators can in the future
express their preference on the FAA's release of their aircraft data to
the public via ASDI. This document is the FAA's proposal and the FAA's
invitation to the public to comment on any aspect of it. Until the FAA
publishes a document that sets forth the FAA's final decision on the
ASDI blocking process, the FAA will continue to operate under the
interim policy that the FAA described in the notice published in
December 2011.

DATES: Any written information that responds to the FAA's proposed
procedures must be submitted by June 8, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 18, 2011, the President signed
into law H.R. 2112, the ``Consolidated and Further Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2012,'' which provides the U.S. Department of
Transportation's appropriation for the balance of fiscal year 2012.
Section 119A of that statute provides that:

[n]otwithstanding any other provision of law, none of the funds made
available under this Act or any prior Act may be used to implement
or to continue to implement any limitation on the ability of any
owner or operator of a private aircraft to obtain, upon a request to
the Administrator of the [FAA], a blocking of that owner's or
operator's aircraft registration number from any display of the
[FAA's ASDI] data that is made available to the public, except data
made available to a Government agency, for the noncommercial flights
of that owner or operator.

Public Law 112-55, Sec.  119A, 125 Stat. 552, 649.

    In light of this appropriation language, the FAA withdrew a prior
policy that it published on June 3, 2011, which required owners or
operators to submit a Certified Security Concern in order to have their
aircraft blocked from the public's view on displays of ASDI
information. In connection with its withdrawal of the June 3 policy,
the FAA published interim procedures under which aircraft owners and
operators can request that the FAA block their aircraft from release to
the public via the FAA's ASDI data feed. 78 FR 78,328 (Dec. 16, 2011).
At that time, the FAA noted that it would propose more detailed
procedures for the ASDI blocking program and solicit public comment on
the proposal. This notice is the FAA's proposal, and the FAA invites
the public to comment on any aspect of it in any of the manners
described in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. After the FAA
publishes its final procedures with respect to blocking aircraft data
from the public ASDI data feed, the FAA may amend its memoranda of
agreement with the subscribers who receive the information to clarify
the subscriber responsibilities.

Substance of Aircraft Owner or Operator Requests

    Consistent with Congress' recent appropriations directive, the FAA
proposes to continue to honor all aircraft owner or operator requests
that the FAA block their aircraft from appearing in the FAA's public
ASDI data feed. Aircraft owners and operators can submit requests on
their own behalf or may do so through their legally authorized agent.
The FAA does not view associations to be agents on behalf of their
members for this purpose.
    To assist the FAA in accurately and efficiently processing the
number of requests that the FAA expects, the FAA intends to ask that
all requests for ASDI blocking include specific information. The
receipt of this information could influence whether the FAA can add or
delete aircraft from the ASDI block list in a timely way. In
particular, the FAA expects that its program staff will need:
     The name of the requestor;
     The registration number(s) of the aircraft to be blocked
or unblocked;
     A certification that the requestor is the owner or
operator of the specified aircraft;
     A telephone number and electronic mail address to which
the FAA can direct questions about the request; and
     For a request to block one or more aircraft, a statement
indicating whether

the requestor desires ASDI blocking at the FAA source or at the
industry level.
    The distinction between blocking ASDI data at the FAA source and
blocking it at the industry level warrants clarification. Blocking ASDI
information at the FAA source results in the FAA filtering the blocked
data before release to the public, although the FAA supplies unfiltered
data to other Government agencies. If the owner or operator selects
this level of blocking, however, the aircraft owner or operator who
wants to track the aircraft or to grant that ability to anyone else
will be unable to do so. Blocking ASDI information at the industry
level allows owners or operators to contract with an ASDI data
subscriber to reveal their aircraft whereabouts to those with whom the
owner or operator wishes to share that information. Under this
procedure, owners and operators should be aware that the FAA will
provide unfiltered information to all subscribers who receive ASDI data
directly from the FAA (direct subscribers), with the instruction that
those subscribers are to block the designated aircraft unless the
subscriber reaches a contrary agreement with a blocked aircraft's owner
or operator. Furthermore, the direct subscribers may contract to share
the FAA data with an additional level of subscribers (indirect
subscribers). All subscriber use of the information is limited in that
they must agree to shield the blocked aircraft data from further
release, unless the subscriber enters into an agreement with the owner
or operator that allows for the information's further use. If a
requestor fails to specify whether the request is for blocking at the
FAA source or at the industry level, the FAA will construe the request
as seeking to block the information at the FAA source.

FAA Implementation of Requests

    The FAA intends to continue its current practice of implementing
ASDI block list revisions on the first Thursday of each month. As a
practical matter, requests that the FAA receives on or before the 15th
of the preceding month are likely to be processed in time to take
effect the following month. However, it is possible that the volume of
requests in a given month, a requestor's timeliness, or the
completeness and accuracy of the information that the FAA receives
could preclude the FAA from processing some requests in time for them
to take effect in the month following their submission. In that event,
the FAA will process all requests in the order in which the FAA
receives them to the extent that it is possible.

Process for Aircraft That Are Currently Blocked

    A number of aircraft are currently on the FAA's ASDI block lists,
some of which are based on a certified security concern submitted after
June 3, 2011, and some of which are based on requests under the FAA's
interim policy of accepting all aircraft owner or operator requests to
block their aircraft data from public display of ASDI and NASSI
information. The FAA has tentatively determined that it is not
necessary to require the owners or operators of these aircraft to
submit their initial requests again, unless they wish to change the
status of their aircraft or the level at which an aircraft is blocked.

Block Request Addresses

    Because the nature of the FAA's ASDI blocking program is changing,
the FAA proposes to change the principal addresses where aircraft
owners and operators can submit any information that the program
requires. The FAA will still receive and accept information submitted
at the previous addresses for this program. However, the FAA has
established a new primary electronic mailbox for all aircraft blocking
and unblocking requests and inquiries at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The FAA
also will accept information submitted by regular mail at: FAA ASDI
Blocking Request; ATO System Operations Services, AJR-0; Wilbur Wright
Building, Room 3E1500; 600 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC
20597.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This proposal contains the following new information collection
requirements. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. section 3507(d)), the FAA has submitted the information
requirements associated with this proposal to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for its review.
    Title: ASDI Block Requests.
    Summary: The FAA makes air traffic flow management data available
to aviation and other industries, consisting of near real-time position
and other relevant flight data for civil aircraft receiving radar
services within the National Air Space. Through a Policy Notice
published in the Federal Register on June 3, 2011, the FAA undertook to
formalize a process through which aircraft owners and operators could
ask the FAA to block their aircraft identification information from
appearing in the FAA's ASDI data feed. Section 119A of H.R. 2112, the
``Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012'' and
the FAA's resulting policy adjustments expanded the aircraft blocking
program to allow any interested aircraft owner or operator to simply
opt out of the public ASDI data feed by submitting a written request to
the FAA's ASDI Program Office. The FAA's implementation of the ASDI
blocking program necessitates a paperwork burden related to the
collection and processing of those block requests.
    Use of: The collected information will be used by the National Air
Space Data Release Office to block aircraft flight data as requested by
any interested aircraft owner or operator.
    Respondents (including number of): The FAA estimates that
approximately 6,000 owners and operators will request ASDI blocks.
    Frequency: The information collection would occur one time per
requesting owner/operator.
    Annual Burden Estimate: The burden estimate is approximately 500
hours.
    The agency is soliciting comments related to: (1) Evaluating
whether the proposed information requirement is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information will have practical utility; (2) evaluating the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden; (3) enhancing the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4) minimizing the burden of collecting information on those who are to
respond, including by using appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
    Individuals and organizations may send comments on the information
collection requirement to the address listed in the ADDRESS section in
this notice. Comments also should be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Attention: Desk Officer for FAA, New Executive Building, Room 10202,
725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20053.
    According to the 1995 amendments to the Paperwork Reduction Act (5
CFR section 1320.8(b)(2)(vi)), an agency may not collect or sponsor the
collection of information, nor may it impose an information collection
requirement unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
The OMB control number for this information collection will be
published in the Federal Register, after OMB approves it.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on May 4, 2012.

Vice President, ATO System Operations Service.
