Federal Aviation Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Pilot 
Schools--FAR 141

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. 49 U.S.C. 44707 empowers the Administrator of the Federal 
Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide for the examination and rating 
of civilian schools giving instruction in flying. This CFR prescribes 
the requirements for issuing pilot school certificates, provisional 
pilot school certificates and associated ratings to qualified 
applicants.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 25, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ronda 
Thompson, Room 441, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronda Thompson at (202) 267-1416, or 
by email at: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0009.
    Title: Pilot Schools--FAR 141.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 8420-8.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The information on FAA Form 8420-8, Application for 
Pilot School Certificates, is required from applicants who wish to be 
issued pilot school certificates and associated ratings. Pilot schools 
train private, commercial, flight instructor, and airline transport 
pilots, along with training for associated ratings in various types of 
aircraft. The form is also necessary to assure continuing compliance 
with part 141, renewal of certificates every 24 months, and for any 
amendments to pilot school certificates, FAA approval of pilot school 
certificate amendments enables schools to provide new training courses 
not previously approved.
    Respondents: Approximately 546 applicants.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 27 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 29,770 hours.
