Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of a Renewed Information Collection: Aviation Maintenance 
Technician Schools

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew information 
collection. The collection involves Aviation Maintenance Technician 
School (AMTS) applicants and certificate holders. The information to be 
collected will be used to ensure AMTS applicants and certificate 
holders meet the requirements of part 147 prior to being certificated, 
and on an ongoing basis following FAA certification.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by May 16, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0040.
    Title: Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 8610-6.
    Type of Review: This is a renewal of an information collection.
    Background: This information collection summarizes burden under 14 
CFR part 147 regulations to be issued in accordance with Section 135 of 
the Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act in Public 
Law 116-260, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. The 
collection of information includes both reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements related to AMTS. The information collected is provided to 
the certificate holder/applicant's appropriate FAA Flight Standards 
office in order to allow the FAA to determine compliance with the part 
147 requirements for obtaining and/or retaining an FAA air agency 
certificate. For applicants, when all part 147 requirements have been 
met, an FAA air agency certificate is issued, with the appropriate 
ratings. For FAA certificated AMTS, the FAA uses the information 
collected to determine if the AMTS provides appropriate training at 
each location of the AMTS, meets quality control system requirements, 
and ensures that AMTS students receive an appropriate document showing 
the student is eligible to take the FAA tests to obtain a mechanic 
certificate.
    Respondents: Approximately 10 AMTS applicants, and 182 FAA-
certificated applicants respond to this collection annually.
    Frequency: AMTS applicants respond one time, prior to 
certification. FAA-certificated AMTS respond occasionally after 
certification, and have ongoing recordkeeping requirements.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 19 hours/response on 
average.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 11,438 hours/year.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on March 9, 2022.

Aviation Safety Inspector, Office of Safety Standards, Aircraft 
Maintenance Division, General Aviation Branch.
