Abstract: The respondents to this collection are current part 147 certificated AMTSs and 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, for example, when the certificate holder’s operations change. Schools must issue graduation and/or completion documentation based on the graduation or curriculum completion schedule of the school. • AMTS who are not accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the Department of Education have recordkeeping requirements related to an FAA-approved QC system. The information collected is provided to the certificate holder/applicant’s appropriate FAA Flight Standards office in order for 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 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 the 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, pursuant to part 65.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The following program changes were made: • The current information collection request for 14 CFR part 147 is revised as a result of a congressional mandate in Public Law 116-260, effective December 27, 2020. The law mandates publication of a 14 CFR part 147 interim final rule which results in removed, changed, and new burdens from that reported in the last IC. • The interim final rule reorganized and renamed provisions of part 147 to the extent that new information collection instruments cannot accurately be compared directly to previous information collection instruments. Overall, the FAA estimates there is an hours reduction, and a cost savings as a result of the new regulation when compared to the previous IC request. • The FAA estimates that only one AMTS will have FAA mandated recordkeeping costs, compared to all schools under the previous approval. This is the largest impact on overall paperwork burden reduction estimates for respondents. • Reporting requirements have increased primarily due to new provisions in part 147 such as additional training locations (§ 147.15) and early testing (§ 147.31), and the curriculum revision requirements of § 147.17. The collection instrument, FAA Form 8310-6, Aviation Maintenance Technician School Certificate and Ratings Application, is revised to reflect the new and changed requirements under 14 CFR part 147. The burden associated with this application is reflected in § 147.5 burden estimates. • Both initial applications and applications for an amended certificate are made on FAA Form 8310-6. • See attachment “Part 147 Form 8310-6 Details of IC” for details on the specific data collected on the form. • The estimated time spent completing this form has been revised from 40-80 hours to 15-80 hours. This estimate is based on the time it would take an applicant to complete the form and all required application attachments, to include curriculum development if applicable, that may be required to be submitted with the form. Required attachments can vary greatly depending on whether it is an initial application or an application for an amended certificate, and depend on the complexity of the applicant’s operations.
