Abstract:
This information collection is required to receive a benefit and is submitted to the FAA on occasion. Persons requesting to obtain an initial air agency certificate to operate as a repair station or changes to an existing repair station (air agency) certificate do so by submitting the request in a format acceptable to the FAA. In order to remain consistent and provide ease of application, the FAA designed and made available to the public the FAA Form 8310-3 Application for Repair Station Certificate and/or Rating. The FAA finds this form as an acceptable means of making application to obtain a repair station certificate or to initiate changes to an existing repair station certificate. This form is available to the applicant/respondent via www.faa.gov, email, in person, or by mail. Once the FAA reviews the submitted application and finds by review and inspection that the applicant meets the requirements of 14 CFR part 145 for certification, an air agency certificate and ratings is issued to the applicant. The FAA retains a copy of the application in the FAA office that issued the certificate for an indefinite time or a time-period mandated by the Federal Records Act of 1950, as amended.. The applicant is not required to retain a copy of the form. The FAA does not provide other persons or entities with information contained in the form.

Short Statement:
Information collection 2120-0682 was approved on October 5, 2015. At that time, there were approximately 4,625 certificated repair stations. The submission was adjusted from previous collections to incorporate the new regulatory requirement for all existing and new repair stations to submit a training program for FAA approval. Therefore, the burden calculations reflected were exorbitant. As of December 31, 2019, there are 4,020 certificated repair stations in the United States. For fiscal year (FY) 2019, the FAA received a total number of 129 FAA Form 8310-3 applications. Out of the 129 total received, 64 were submitted for new certification and 65 were submitted from existing repair station owners. The changes in calculated burdens as noted in paragraphs 12, 13, and 14 capture the number of FAA Form 8310-3 Application for Repair Station Certificate and/or Rating received in 2019. In addition, the amount of time and cost associated with time it takes a new applicant or an existing certificate holder to review, enter the required information and submit the form to the FAA. Burden calculations are also included for the FAA inspector to receive and process the forms. The FAA has identified an inaccuracy in how burden calculations are determined associated with repair station certification and subsequent changes to an existing repair station certificate. The actual total certification activities were not previously presented in past OMB approvals for this collection. The detailed certification activities are not presented and calculated in this collection. However, once the FAA properly assesses an entire repair station certification burden, the FAA will publish a new notice to the Federal Register capturing the entire certification burden calculation.
