Abstract:
The respondents to this collection are mandated to collect and report information to the FAA. Respondents are organizations wishing to conduct nonpassenger-carrying external-load operations for compensation or hire, which requires the proper certification and or renewal of certification. The FAA uses this information, required, to process the operating certificate as a record of aircraft authorized for use, and to monitor Rotorcraft External Load Operations. FAA Form 8710 4, Rotorcraft External Load Operator Certificate Application, provides a record of surveillance activities when completed by an inspector. If the information were not collected, FAA would not be able to meet its regulatory responsibilities for oversight and surveillance under Part 133.
