AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: 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 to renew an information 
collection. The Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) incorporates data 
driven quality control processes for validating and maintaining the 
effectiveness of air carrier training program curriculum content.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by August 22, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carla Scott on (202) 385-4293, or by 
e-mail at: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0701.
    Title: Advanced Qualification Program (AQP).
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: Under SFAR No. 58, Advanced Qualification Program 
(AQP), the FAA provides certificated air carriers, as well as training 
centers they employ, with a regulatory alternative for training, 
checking, qualifying, and certifying aircrew personnel subject to the 
requirements of 14 CFR parts 121 and 135. AQP is continuously validated 
through the collection and analysis of trainee performance. Data 
collection and analysis processes ensure that the certificate holder 
provides performance information on its crewmembers, flight 
instructors, and evaluators that will enable the certificate holder and 
the FAA to determine whether the form and content of training and 
evaluation activities are satisfactorily accomplishing the overall 
objectives of the curriculum.
    Respondents: Approximately 18 certificated air carriers and 
training centers.
    Frequency: Information is collected monthly.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1.20 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 432 hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Carla 
Scott, Room 336, Federal Aviation Administration, AES-300, 950 L'Enfant 
Plaza SW., Washington, DC 20024.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.

    Issued in Washington, DC on June 15, 2011.
