stakeholders of the Board.
Number of Respondents, Frequency,
Estimated Time per Response, and Total
Burden Hours: A variety of instruments

Needs and Uses: The proposed
information collection activity provides
a means to garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient
and timely manner, in accordance with
the Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences, and expectations; provide
an early warning with issues about how

the Board provides service to the public;
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training, or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative,
and actionable communications
between the Board and its customers
and stakeholders. They will also allow
feedback to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses

will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Board’s services
will be unavailable.
The Board will only process a
collection under this generic clearance
if it meets the following conditions:
• the collections are voluntary;
• the collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both

the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• the collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other federal agencies;
• any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• personally identifiable information
is collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained;
• information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and not for release outside of
the agency;
• information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• information gathered will yield
qualitative information, and the
collections will not be designed or
expected to yield statistically reliable
results or used as though the results are
generalizable to the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but will not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
Such data uses would require more
rigorous designs than the collections
covered by this notice.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
Under the PRA, a federal agency
conducting or sponsoring a collection of
information must display a currently
valid OMB control number. Section
3507(b) of the PRA requires, concurrent
with an agency’s submitting a collection
to OMB for approval, a 30-day notice
and comment period through
publication in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information. Comments submitted in
response to this notice may be made
available to the public by the Board. For
this reason, please do not include in
your comments information of a
confidential nature, such as sensitive
personal information or proprietary
information. If you send an electronic
comment (e-file or email), your email
address is automatically captured and
may be accessed if your comments are
made public. Please note that responses
to this public comment request
containing any routine notice about the

notwithstanding the inclusion of the
routine notice.

Petition for Exemption
Docket No.: FAA–2024–2186.
Petitioner: Southwest Airlines.
Sections of 14 CFR Affected:
§§ 45.11(b) and 45.13.
Description of Relief Sought:
Southwest Airlines (Southwest) requests
relief from 14 CFR 45.11(b) and 45.13
when a CFM56–7B24, CFM56–7B27 or
LEAP–1B28 series engine is found to be
operating under 14 CFR part 121
revenue service with a missing engine
data plate. Southwest proposes that it
should be permitted to manage a
missing engine data plate as a Category
D repair on its minimum equipment list
and correct the condition within 120
calendar days excluding the day of
discovery. However, if the engine OEM
is unable to supply a new data plate
within 120 calendar days, this condition
must be corrected at the next convenient
maintenance opportunity, but no later
than the next engine removal from
service for shop maintenance.
