SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501

information collection activity will be forwarded to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB). This information collection activity is 
currently part of another approved collection and cleared under OMB 
number 2120-0033. The request to OMB is to separate this collection out 
of 2120-0033 and give it its own number.

duplicate to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Judith Street, 
Federal Aviation Administration, Corporate Information Division, ABC-

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Judith Street at the above address or on (202) 267-9895.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA solicits comments on this collection 
of information in order to: Evaluate the necessity of the collection; 
the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden; the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and possible 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection. The information 
collection activities associated with the Representatives of the 
Administrator, CFR part 183, including Aviation Medical Examiners, are 
currently cleared under OMB number 2120-0033. For administrative ease, 
the FAA proposes to separate the Aviation Medical Examiner clearance 
from the rest of the Representatives of the Administrator. There is no 
change in the CFR requirements. It is proposed that the Aviation 
Medical Examiner program be given a separate OMB clearance

number. At this time of request for clearance, the Aviation Medical 
Examiner Designation Application form, FAA form 8520-2 is being updated 
to include a few additional boxes to check off. The additional 
information does not constitute a significant increase in time to 
complete the form since it would only involve one data element and 
check marks in the appropriate boxes.
    The additional data elements are as follows:
     A box to check off whether the doctor is male or female. 
(This will be done to provide that information to airmen and women who 
request a doctor of a specific gender.)
     A space for social security number. (This is a voluntary 
request.)
     An addition of more specialities in the medical specialty 
category from which the applicant can choose.
     In the General Information portion of the application, the 
addition of two questions to check off a yes or no.
    Title: 2120-xxxx, Aviation Medical Examiner Program.
    Abstract: This information is collected for the purpose of 
obtaining essential information concerning the applicants' professional 
and personal qualifications. The FAA uses the information provided to 
screen and select the designees who serve as aviation medical 
examiners. The information is also used to make a list of designated 
aviation medical examiners readily available to the public.
    Need: 14 CFR 183 implements the provisions of Title 49 U.S.C., 
section 44702.
    Respondents: The respondents are an estimated 450 individuals 
applying to become aviation medical examiners.
