This information collection involves
both reporting and recordkeeping by Part 142 training centers in
order to issue pilot certificates. Some of the information
collected in this collection is recordkeeping by Part 142 training
centers for information that they collect to be able to issue pilot
certificates. Applicants for Part 142 Training Center are required
to report the information when submitting an application to the
FAA. Existing Part 142 Training Centers are required to maintain
records of the information in order to issue pilot certificates.
Both the application process and the recordkeeping process for
training that has occurred is accounted for in this collection. The
training center is required by regulation to collect information
and keep records to show trainees are qualified for training,
testing, or checking. The information contained in this collection
is mandatory as required by the regulations mentioned in number 1
of this collection. The entities who must respond are Part 142
Training Centers. The requirements of this collection are
recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The collection frequency
is as required and may differ per regulatory requirement. For
example, training records of trainee must be kept each time they
engage in training. The information would be retained by the
certificate holder for inspection by FAA personnel or in the case
of certification requests, be presented to the FAA. The information
is maintained by the certificate holder and subject to review by
aviation safety inspectors (operations), designated to provide
surveillance to training centers to ensure compliance with airman
training, testing, and certification requirements specified in
other parts of the 14 CFR. Information may be reviewed on a
periodic basis, and at times of special events such as accidents,
requests for certificate or course amendments, and the like. If the
information were not collected, inspectors would not be able to
determine if airmen who are clients are being trained, checked, or
tested to meet the safety standards established in other parts of
14 CFR. To date, FAA inspectors have used the information collected
to determine and assess regulatory compliance during routine
program surveillance.

The number of training centers
has decreased from the last submission. Current data also indicates
a necessary revision to the number of 121 and 135 certificate
holders provided training in a Part 142 training center. The
collection has been edited to reflect this change. The agency has
separated collection activity into appropriate information
collections, there has not been additional forms or applications
added. Some of this collection was updated to be reporting instead
of recordkeeping as reporting more accurately represents the
collection. There has been no change to the collection
requirements. It is simply a reclassification for accuracy.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
