FRA received no comments in response to this notice. Before OMB decides whether to approve these proposed collections of information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. Federal law requires OMB to approve or disapprove paperwork packages between 30 and 60 days after the 30-day notice is published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)–(c); 5 CFR 1320.10(b); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983, Aug. 29, 1995.

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. The information collection is required to receive the 
benefit of obtaining an FAA Air Agency Certificate, known as a 
certificated repair station. The collection involves the applicant 
entering information onto and submitting the FAA Form 8310-3. 
Application for Repair Station Certificate/and or Rating to the 
appropriate FAA field office. Persons requesting to obtain an initial 
Air Agency Certificate to operate as an FAA certificated repair station 
or request changes to an existing repair station (air agency) 
certificate do so by submitting the request through the submission of 
the FAA Form 8310-3. This form is available to the applicant/respondent 
via www.faa.gov, email, in person, or by mail.
    The FAA Form 8310-3, Application for Repair Station Certificate 
and/or Ratings captures information such as, but not limited to; 
official name of repair station, location where business is conducted, 
official mailing address, any doing business as name, changes in 
ratings, or if initial certification, ratings sought, changes in 
location or housing and facilities, change in name or ownership, or any 
other purpose for which the applicant requests, including a request for 
approval to contract maintenance functions to outside entities.
    The FAA has identified an inaccuracy in how burden calculations are 
determined associated with initial repair station certifications and 
subsequent changes to an existing repair station certificate. The FAA 
has identified that the information collected through the FAA Form 
8310-3 does not capture the entire repair station certification 
activities or changes to an existing certificate. OMB Control Number 
2120-0682 is not only authorizing the Agency to receive information 
collected on the FAA Form 8310-3, but should also encapsulate the 
entire calculation burden associated with repair station certification 
and subsequent changes to an existing certificate.
    Once burden calculations associated with repair station 
certification activities are properly assessed, the FAA will publish a 
new notice to the Federal Register capturing the entire burden 
calculation for repair station certification and subsequent changes to 
an existing certificate.
