    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on December 27, 2021 (86 FR 73408). 49 U.S.C. Section 
44702(d) authorizes the Administrator of the Federal Aviation 
Administration to delegate to a properly qualified private person 
functions related to the examination, inspection, and testing necessary 
to the issuance of certificates. Title 14 of Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) Part 183, Subpart D allows the FAA to appoint 
organizations as Administrator representatives. As authorized, these 
organizations perform certification functions on behalf of the FAA. 
Applications include information about the applicant, the applicant's 
experience and qualifications, and the authority it seeks. Applications 
are submitted to the appropriate FAA office responsible for delegating 
the issuance certificates and approvals and are reviewed by the FAA 
team assigned to the applicant to determine whether the applicant meets 
the requirements necessary to be authorized as a representative of the 
Administrator. Procedures manuals are submitted for applications that 
are accepted by the FAA and contain the applicant's proposed procedures 
to be approved by the FAA to ensure that the correct processes are 
utilized when performing functions on behalf of the FAA as required by 
part 183 subpart D. These requirements are necessary to manage the 
various approvals issued by the organization and document approvals 
issued and must be maintained to address potential future safety 
issues.
    Respondents: This collection involves organizations applying to 
perform certification functions on behalf of the FAA.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 43.5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 5,623 hours.

    Issued in Oklahoma City, OK, on April 6, 2022.
