Abstract: The respondents to this collection are Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools who are issued an FAA air agency certificate under 14 CFR part 147, and AMTS applicants for a part 147 air agency certificate. Responding to the collection is required to obtain and/or retain a benefit. The collection includes both reporting and recordkeeping requirements. • Certain part 147 requirements involve reporting to the FAA at the time of application for an FAA air agency certificate. • Other reporting requirements occur occasionally after certification, when the certificate holder’s operations change. • Schools must issue graduation and/or completion certificate based on the graduation or curriculum completion schedule of the school. • Schools must keep specified records on each student, for at least 2 years after the end of the student’s enrollment. The information collected is provided to the certificate holder/applicant’s responsible FAA Flight Standards office in order to allow the FAA to determine compliance with the part 147 requirements for obtaining and/or retaining an FAA air agency certificate. • For part 147 applicants, when all CFR part 147 requirements have been met, an FAA air agency certificate, with the appropriate ratings, is issued. • For certificated part 147 certificate holders, the FAA uses the information collected to (1) verify that an AMTS operates in accordance with their certificate and operations specifications, as required by § 147.3, (2) determine if the AMTS provides appropriate training as required by part 147, and (3) ensure that AMTS graduates receive appropriate documentation showing the graduate is eligible to take the FAA tests required to obtain a mechanic certificate.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There are no program changes. However, the following burden was unintentionally omitted from the previous approval: • The § 147.31(e) requirement for applicants and AMTS to submit procedures for determining final course grades and for recording student attendance to the FAA for review and approval, and to resubmit for approval when those procedures are revised by the AMTS. • The section 147.35 requirement for AMTS to produce transcripts and graduation and/or completion documents. The following adjustments were made to this IC: • The assumption for total number of AMTS has increase from the last approval, from 177 to 182. • Time for populating AMTS operations specifications is FAA burden, not AMTS burden as shown in the previous IC approval. Under this IC, this time is included in the FAA burden estimates and not otherwise specifically identified. • Estimates for recordkeeping burden were re-evaluated and changed to show estimates on a per AMTS basis, instead of per student basis as done in the last approval. This resulted in a large reduction of hours and cost related to recordkeeping and is more accurate than the previous estimates. • AMTS and FAA wage rates are updated to reflect current wage estimates. • FAA burden estimates unintentionally omitted the burden related to Quality of Instruction reporting under 147.38a. This information is added to the FAA costs in this summary. • The individual collections within this ICR were re-named and presented as a burden area (with multiple regulatory references), rather that presenting each regulation as a separate instrument.
