Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Certification: 
Airmen Other Than Flight Crewmembers, Subpart C, Aircraft Dispatchers 
and App. A Aircraft Dispatcher

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. This collection involves the information that each 
applicant for an aircraft dispatcher certificate or FAA approval of an 
aircraft dispatcher course must submit to the FAA. These applications, 
reports and training course materials are provided to the local Flight 
Standards District Office of the FAA that oversees the certificates and 
FAA approvals.
    The collection is necessary for the FAA to determine qualification 
and the ability of the applicant to safely dispatch aircraft. Without 
this collection of information, applicants for a certificate or course 
approval would not be able to receive certification or approval. The 
collection of information for those who choose to train aircraft 
dispatcher applicants is to protect the applicants by ensuring that 
they are properly trained.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 22, 2018.

Hall, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 10101 Hillwood Parkway,
