Short Statement: The number of ATP Certification Training Program submissions initially provided on the collection form were projected for a new collection. FAA did not receive the number of anticipated programs for approval in 2014; therefore the number of initial programs received that year was revised. However, FAA still anticipates a total of 21 programs by the end of 2015 as originally projected, therefore the overall hours and cost had little change. The number of applications to certify graduates for a restricted privileges ATP certificate provided on the collection form was projected for a new collection and assumed every aviation degree program in the U.S. would apply immediately. FAA did not receive the number of anticipated programs for approval in 2013; therefore the number of initial programs received was revised for 2013 and 2014. Based upon what has been received in 2015 to date, FAA has projected new numbers for the next several years. Instead of every school applying the first year, the initial applications appear to be spreading out over a 5-year period with several programs still working on meeting the eligibility requirements. For those authorized institutions of higher education that would like to add degree programs or additional coursework to the authorization, they must submit an application for revision. FAA did not originally anticipate the number of revisions that these schools would submit. New tables were added to account for the time and cost of these additional application reviews.
