Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of a New Approval of Information Collection: Global Aircraft Maintenance Safety Improvements

The FAA is asking for public comments on a new information collection plan that affects air carriers using repair stations outside the U.S. This data collection is required by a new law to help identify safety problems with heavy maintenance. The deadline for comments is June 23, 2026.

This matters because public comments can influence how the FAA collects important safety information from airlines. The goal is to improve safety for maintenance done outside the U.S., which is crucial for passenger safety.
