Notice and request for comments.
Summary
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 for an information collection. The collection involves S. 4319--A bill to provide for progress reports on the national transition plan related to a fluorine-free firefighting foam that requires that the FAA provide progress reports on the status of part 139 airports transition to fluorine-free firefighting foam no later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, and every 180 days thereafter until the progress report termination date. Within this report, a comprehensive list of the amount of AFFF at each part 139 airport has as of the date of the submission of the progress report, including the amount of such firefighting foam held in firefighting equipment and the number of gallons regularly kept in reserve at each such airport. These progress reports on the development and implementation of a national transition plan related to a fluorine- free firefighting foam that meets the performance standards referenced in Chapter 3--Agent Compatibility, Substitutions, and Performance Requirements of Advisory Circular 150/5210.6E--Aircraft Fire Extinguishing Agents for Airports (AC 150/5210.62) issued on November 27, 2023 shall be submitted to the appropriate committees of Congress.
