1. Estimated burden for this collection has increased because the FAA increased the estimated time per response from 1.5 hours to 6 hours. Of that 6 hours, the FAA estimates an average of 1.5 hours to fill out the application in DMS, or the paper form, as applicable, and an average of 4.5 hours to create/obtain any necessary application attachments.
2. The estimated annual cost to the Federal Government has increased due to the following:
⢠Updated data has be used for a more accurate estimate of current ASI wages and time spent in reviewing applicant information.
⢠Previously, the National Examiner Board (NEB) reviewed each application. Now, applications are only reviewed when a local FAA office determines a need for a designee, and application reviews are done by that office. Therefore, less applications are reviewed each year, but time spent reviewing applications by the appropriate FAA office has increased slightly.
3. The Designee Management System (DMS) is introduced as a new web-based information collection tool being created to replace the paper forms currently used to collect information. for certain types of designee applicants.
⢠DMS has replaced the use of the previously approved paper forms:
⢠FAA Form 8110-28, Application and Statement of Qualification (DME/DPRE/DAR-T)
⢠FAA Form 8710-10, National Examiner Board Designated Pilot Examiner Candidate Application.
⢠The following paper forms are still used within this collection until such time as these designee types are included in DMS.
⢠FAA Form 8110-14, Statement of Qualification. Used for DER applicants.
⢠FAA Form 8710-6, Examiner Designation and Qualification Record. Used for Air Carrier DPE applicants.
