Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The collection involves Aviation Maintenance Technician 
School (AMTS) applicants and certificate holders. The information to be

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 9, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0040.
    Title: Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 8310-6.
    Type of Review: This is a renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on November 23, 2021 (86 FR 66615). A correction to the 
60 day notice was published on February 4, 2022 (87 FR 6646) to correct 
a typographical error in the Docket Number of the original notice. 
Although no comments were received after the 60 day notice, the FAA did 
revise (increase) the estimated burden following that notice, due to 
calculation errors. 14 CFR part 147 results in the collection of 
information, including reporting and recordkeeping requirements, 
related to AMTS. The information collected is provided to the 
certificate holder/applicant's

responsible 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 using an FAA-approved curriculum, keeps records 
that demonstrate each students training, and to ensure that AMTS 
graduates receive an appropriate document showing the graduate is 
eligible to take the FAA tests required 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: 112 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 64,025 hours/year.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on April 1, 2022.

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