Clearance of a Renewed] Approval of Information Collection: 
Certification of Repair Stations

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The collection involves applying for a repair station 
certificate, requesting amendments to the certificate, developing 
required programs and manuals, and maintaining employee qualification 
and training records. Additionally, repair stations located outside of 
the United States must apply to renew their FAA air agency certificate 
every two years. The information to be collected will be used to ensure 
applicants and certificate holders of FAA-issued repair station 
certificates use appropriate facilities and equipment, have sufficient 
processes and procedures, and use qualified personnel with appropriate 
training to perform maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alterations 
of aircraft, airframes, aircraft engines, propellers, appliances, or 
component parts.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 29, 2024.

    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.

    Background: Title 14 CFR, part 145, describes how to obtain a 
repair station certificate and contains the rules a certificated repair 
station must follow related to its performance of maintenance, 
preventive maintenance, or alterations of an aircraft, airframe,

and applicants to apply for a repair station certificate, including 
providing various application attachments, develop required programs 
and manuals, make certifications regarding hazardous materials training 
of employees, recommend repairman applicants employed by the repair 
station, and maintain employee qualification and training records. All 
certificate holders and applicants must develop a repair station 
manual, quality control manual, and training program, and request 
amendments to the certificate when necessary. Some certificate holders 
and applicants must develop a capability list, or a manual required by 
a bilateral agreement, or a hazardous materials training program. 
Repair stations located outside of the United States must apply to 
renew their FAA air agency certificate every two years. Additionally, 
the holder of an expired, surrendered, suspended, or revoked 
certificate must return it to the FAA. Requests for an initial 
certificate or a certificate amendment are made on FAA Form 8310-3, 
Application for Repair Station Certificate and/or Rating, and must be
