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 information collected on the FAA Form 8120-11 is reported voluntarily by manufacturers, repair stations, aircraft owner/operators, air carriers, and the general public who wish to report the discovery of, and potential use or possession of aircraft suspected unapproved parts to the FAA for review. The report information is collected and evaluated by the FAA, Aviation Safety Hotline Program Office, and used to determine if an unapproved part investigation is warranted.

Title: Suspected Unapproved Parts Report.
Form Numbers: FAA Form 8120-11.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The information collected on the FAA Form 8120-11 is reported voluntarily by manufacturers, repair stations, aircraft owner/operators, air carriers, and the general public who wish to report suspected unapproved parts to the FAA for review. The report information is collected and correlated by the FAA, Aviation Safety Hotline Program Office, and used to determine if an unapproved part investigation is warranted. When unapproved parts are confirmed that are likely to exist on other products or aircraft of the same or similar design or are being used in other facilities, the information is used as a basis for an aviation industry alert or notification. Alerts are used to inform industry of situations essential to the prevention of accidents, if the information had not been collected. The consequence to the aviation community would be the inability to determine whether or not unapproved parts are being offered for sale or use for installation on type-certificated products.
[top] Procedures and processes relating to the SUP program and associated reports are found in FAA Order 8120.16A, Suspected Unapproved Parts Program, and AC 21-29, Detecting and Reporting Suspected Unapproved Parts. When unapproved parts are identified, the FAA notifies the public by published Field Notifications (FN), disseminated
Respondents: Anyone may fill out and send a Form 8120-11 into the FAA.
Frequency: Whenever anyone discovers or suspects they have received an unapproved part.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: About 30 minutes to read and disposition each form.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The FAA collects approximately 30 forms from the public per year.
Issued in Fort Worth, Texas.
