Abstract: Organizations, which hold Certificates as Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools and those wishing to become certificate holders, are mandated to report information to the FAA for this collection. All parties must send information to their appropriate FAA district office for review. If the application (including supporting documentation) is satisfactory, an on-site inspection is conducted. When all CFR part 147 requirements have been met, an Aviation Maintenance Technician School certificate and/or the appropriate ratings is issued. This information collection provides both the certificate holder and the FAA with assurance that they are continuing to meet the requirements of their certificate. Although the information collected may be not expected to be disseminated directly to the public, results may be used in scientific, management, technical or general informational publications.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This revised information collection corrects the September 30, 2016, supporting statement submitted for part 147. The information collection burden hours and costs will be noticeably higher than posted in the 2016 supporting statement for three primary reasons. First, due to program changes as implemented by FAA Notice N 8900.278 dated November 21, 2014, operations specifications (OpSpecs) were introduced to Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 147 Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools (AMTS). OpSpecs must be issued to institutions with part 147 certificates by July 21, 2015. The part 147 pertinent OpSpecs are listed above in Table II. This correction includes the burden added by OpSpecs not addressed in the 2016 information collection. Second, the current enrollment figures cited in 2016 were 12,500 students but are now 17,800 students. Third, some sections of part 147 were not represented as collecting information and the FAA is including them in this revised report. The agency has separated collection activity into appropriate information collections. Requested responses in ROCIS are according to the number of schools reporting rather according to the number of students in each school as previously submitted.
