Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Pilot 
Schools--FAR 141

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. 49 U.S.C. Section 44707 empowers the Administrator of the 
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide for the examination 
and rating of civilian schools giving instruction in flying. This CFR 
prescribes the requirements for issuing pilot school certificates, 
provisional pilot school certificates and associated ratings to 
qualified applicants.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by March 7, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of 
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to 
oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to 
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management 
and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20503.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this 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 this information 
collection.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronda Thompson at (202) 267-1416, or

    Title: Pilot Schools--FAR 141.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 8420-8.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on November 25, 2015 (80 FR 73268). The information on 
FAA Form 8420-8, Application for Pilot School Certificates, is required 
from applicants who wish to be issued pilot school certificates and 
associated ratings. Pilot schools train private, commercial, flight 
instructor, and airline transport pilots, along with training for 
associated ratings in various types of aircraft. The form is also 
necessary to assure continuing compliance with Part 141, renewal of 
certificates every 24 months, and for any amendments to pilot school 
certificates, FAA approval of pilot school certificate amendments 
enables schools to provide new training courses not previously 
approved.
