Abstract of Proposed Collection
The Directorate of Defense Trade
Controls (DDTC), Bureau of PoliticalMilitary Affairs, U.S. Department of
State, in accordance with the Arms
Export Control Act (AECA) (22 U.S.C.
2751 et seq.) and the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22
CFR parts 120–130), has the principal
missions of taking final action on
license applications and other requests
for defense trade transactions via
commercial channels, ensuring
compliance with the statute and
regulations, and collecting various types
of reports. By statute, Executive Order,
regulation, and delegation of authority,
DDTC is charged with controlling the
export and temporary import of defense
articles, the provision of defense
services, and the brokering thereof,
which are covered by the U.S.
Munitions List.
ITAR §§ 122.4 and 129.8 requires
registrants to notify DDTC in the event
of a change in registration information
or if the registrant is a party to a merger,
acquisition, or divestiture of an entity
producing or marketing ITAR-controlled
items. Based on certain conditions
enunciated in the ITAR, respondents
must notify DDTC of these changes at
differing intervals—no less than 60 days
prior to the event, in the event that a
foreign person is acquiring a registered
entity, and/or within 5 days of its
culmination. This information is
necessary for DDTC to ensure
registration records are accurate and to
determine whether the transaction is in
compliance with the regulations (e.g.
with respect to ITAR § 126.1); assess the
steps that need to be taken with respect
to existing authorizations (e.g. transfers);
and to evaluate the implications for US
national security and foreign policy.
This information collection is
estimated to take an average of 2 hours
to execute, and DDTC expects to receive
approximately 400 responses per year;
therefore, the total burden for this
collection will be 800 hours per year.

AGENCY:
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.

Background: The FAA’s authority to
issue rules on aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority.
Rulemaking was promulgated under
the authority described in title 49,
subtitle VII, part A, subpart III, section
44701, General requirements, and
section 44707, Examining and rating air
agencies. Under section 44701, the FAA
may prescribe regulations and standards
in the interest of safety for inspecting,
servicing, and overhauling aircraft,
aircraft engines, propellers, and
appliances. The FAA may also prescribe
equipment and facilities for, and the
timing and manner of, inspecting,
servicing, and overhauling these items.
Under section 44707, the FAA may
examine and rate repair stations. 14 part
145 is within the scope of section
44707.
14 CFR part 145 prescribes the
requirements for the issuance of repair
station certificates. The FAA Form
8310–3, Application for Repair Station
Certificate and/or Rating is available to
the applicant who wishes to obtain
initial repair station certification or
submit changes to an existing air agency
certificate. The applicant voluntarily
submits the application to the
appropriate FAA office by mail or email
for review and acceptance. The
applicant enters the information
required for certification or changes to
the existing certificate, which consists
of: 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. Once the
FAA reviews the submitted application
and finds the applicant has the ability
to comply with the 14 CFR part 145
requirements for certification, an air
agency certificate and ratings is issued.
The FAA retains a copy of the
application in the FAA office that
issued the certificate for an indefinite
time or a time-period specified by the
Agency’s Records Management Order
1350.14B, mandated by the Federal
Records Act of 1950, as amended. The
applicant is not required to retain a
copy of the form. The FAA does not
provide other persons or entities with
information contained in the form.

Abstract of Proposed Collection
The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), Bureau of
Political-Military Affairs, U.S. Department of State, in accordance
with the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.) and
the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR parts 120-
130), has the principal missions of taking final action on license
applications and other requests for defense trade transactions via
commercial channels, ensuring compliance with the statute and
regulations, and collecting various types of reports. By statute,
Executive Order, regulation, and delegation of authority, DDTC is
charged with controlling the export and temporary import of defense
articles, the provision of defense services, and the brokering thereof,
which are covered by the U.S. Munitions List.
ITAR Sec. Sec. 122.4 and 129.8 requires registrants to notify DDTC
in the event of a change in registration information or if the
registrant is a party to a merger, acquisition, or divestiture of an
entity producing or marketing ITAR-controlled items. Based on certain
conditions enunciated in the ITAR, respondents must notify DDTC of
these changes at differing intervals--no less than 60 days prior to the
event, in the event that a foreign person is acquiring a registered
entity, and/or within 5 days of its culmination. This information is
necessary for DDTC to ensure registration records are accurate and to
determine whether the transaction is in compliance with the regulations
(e.g. with respect to ITAR Sec. 126.1); assess the steps that need to
be taken with respect to existing authorizations (e.g. transfers); and
to evaluate the implications for US national security and foreign
policy.
This information collection is estimated to take an average of 2
hours to execute, and DDTC expects to receive approximately 400
responses per year; therefore, the total burden for this collection
will be 800 hours per year.

This information will be collected by DDTC's electronic case
management system and respondents will certify the data via electronic
signature.
