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

    Title: Representatives of the Administrator, 14 CFR part 183.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: Title 49, United States Code, Section 44702 states that 
the Secretary of Transportation may delegate to any properly qualified 
private person, the examination and testing necessary for the issuance 
of certificates under Title VI of the Federal Aviation Act. Title 14, 
Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 183, Representatives of the 
Administrator, describes the requirements for delegating to any 
properly qualified private person, the examination and testing 
necessary for the issuance of airmen certificates.
    Response to this collection of information is required to obtain a 
benefit, specifically, to obtain a FAA designation as a representative 
of the FAA Administrator. Designee applicants come from private 
industry. They are experts in the aviation and medical communities who 
are familiar with the regulations and certification requirements 
necessary to issue an FAA certificate. Only highly experienced aviation 
professionals are expected to respond to the collection. The collection 
is for reporting of an individual's eligibility and qualifications and 
occurs on an as needed basis for initial applicants. However, if an 
individual is not selected as a designee, their application must be 
updated whenever information changes (as needed) and at least every 12 
calendar months (annually).
    The FAA has now fully implemented the use of the Designee 
Management System (DMS) web-based application, located at https://designee.faa.gov/#/login, for the application process for all designee 
types.
    Respondents: Approximately 2,100 individuals applying to be a 
designated representative of the FAA Administrator.
    Frequency: As needed, annually.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 4 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 8,500 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on May 23, 2024.
