Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Certificated 
Training Centers--Simulator Rule

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 a currently approved 
information collection. To determine regulatory compliance, there is a 
need for airmen to maintain records of certain training and recency of 
experience; a training center has to maintain records of student's 
training, employee qualification and training, and training program 
approvals.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by March 11, 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].

compliance with airman training, testing, and certification 
requirements specified in other parts of the 14 CFR.
