    Title: Airman Knowledge Test Registration Collection.
    Form Numbers: There are no forms associated with this collection.
    Type of Review: Renewed information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on January, 17, 2023 (88 FR 2752). 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: 224,474 annually.
    Frequency: n/a.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 7,482 hours annually.

224,474 respondents x 2 minutes each = 448,948 minutes,
448,948 minutes/60 minutes in an hour = 7,482 hours annually.

    Issued in Oklahoma City, OK, on August 7, 2023.

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