Courses

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transportation (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 August 23, 2021.
