    Title: Airman Knowledge Test Registration Collection.
    Form Numbers: There are no forms associated with this collection.
    Type of Review: Renewed information collection.
    Background: Individuals pursuing an FAA certificate or rating to 
operate in the National Airspace System (NAS) must meet the standards 
established in the FAA regulations specific to the certificate sought 
by the individual. FAA certification requires that an individual must 
successfully pass an Airman Knowledge Test as part of the requirements 
to obtain an FAA certificate or rating. The FAA develops and 
administers 90 different knowledge tests in many different areas that 
are required as part of the overall airman certification process.
    Airman Knowledge Tests are administered at approved Knowledge 
Testing Centers by an approved test proctor who is required to 
administer the appropriate Airman Knowledge Test to the individual 
pursuing FAA certification. Individuals taking an FAA Airman Knowledge 
Test must provide the following information to be collected in order to 
complete the registration process before the administration of the 
Airman Knowledge Test: Name, FAA Tracking Number (FTN), physical 
address, Date of Birth, email address, photo identification, phone 
number, test authorization (credentials of the individual such as an 
instructor endorsement), and previous number of test attempts.
    The information provided by the individual is collected and stored 
electronically in the application used for test registration and 
delivery. This information is used to determine the identify and 
eligibility of the individual for compliance of FAA certification 
requirements.
    Respondents: 210,000 annually.
    Frequency: n/a.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 7,000 hours annually.
    210,000 respondents x 2 minutes each = 420,000 minutes.
    420,000 minutes/60 minutes in an hour = 7,000 hours annually.

    Issued in Oklahoma City, OK, on January 11, 2023.

Airman Knowledge Testing Program Manager, Airman Testing Standards 
Branch (AFS-630).
