SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
these 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 these information
collections.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0705.
Title: Hazardous Materials Training Requirements.
Form Numbers: No FAA forms are associated with this information
collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: As prescribed in 14 CFR parts 121 and 135, the FAA
requires certificate holders to submit hazardous materials manuals and
training programs as part of the FAA's certification process. Revisions
of the hazardous materials manuals and training programs must also be
submitted following certification. Initial certification is completed
in accordance with 14 CFR part 119. Continuing certification is
completed in accordance with 14 CFR parts 121 and 135. The FAA uses the
certification process to determine compliance of the certificate
holder's hazardous materials manual and training programs with
applicable regulations, national policies, and safe operating
practices. It also ensures that these documents adequately establish
safe operating procedures. Additionally, 14 CFR part 145 requires
certain repair stations to provide documentation showing that persons
handling hazmat for transportation have been trained in accordance with
49 CFR parts 171-180. The submission of this documentation is covered
in this information collection.
In the renewal, the FAA plans to revise the title of this
information collection to ``Hazardous Materials Program Requirements''
to better reflect the information collected under this OMB Control
Number.
Respondents: The FAA estimates 62 certificate holders under Part
121, 1,844 certificate holders under Part 135, and 4,989 certificate
holders under Part 145.
Frequency: Information is collected on occasion. Part 121 and 135
certificate holders submit their hazardous materials manual and
training program during the initial certification process. When a
certificate holder revises their manual or training program, they must
submit the revised manual and training program to the FAA for approval.
A Part 145 repair station is required to submit documentation to the
FAA certifying that their hazmat employees are trained in accordance
with 49 CFR parts 171-180 to receive initial certification.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 6.08 hours for Part 121
certificate holders, 3.58 hours for Part 135 certificate holders, and
2.16 hours for Part 145 repair stations.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 23,282 hours for Part 121
certificate holders, 15,635 hours for Part 135 certificate holders, and
1,396 hours for Part 145 repair stations.
Issued in Washington, DC, on June 13, 2025.

Executive Director (A), FAA, Office of Hazardous Materials Safety.
