Designee applicants come from private industry. Experts in the
aviation and medical communities who are familiar with the
regulations and certification requirements necessary to issue an
FAA certificate report information to this collection on occasion.
Only highly experienced aviation professionals are expected to
respond to the collection. The collection is for reporting of an
individual’s eligibility and qualifications and occurs on an as
needed basis for initial applicants. However, if an individual is
not selected as a designee, their application must be updated
whenever information changes (as needed) and at least every 12
calendar months (annually). The collection of information is for
the purpose of obtaining essential information concerning the
applicant’s professional and personal qualifications. The FAA uses
the information provided to screen and select designees who will

various certification and examination functions under Title VI of
Federal Aviation Act. The collection of information involves the
following designee types: • Aviation Medical Examiner (AME), §

1. Time burden has decreased
from previous burden due to the following: • Designee renewals are
no longer conducted. Renewals of designations are not required by
regulation and therefore the FAA no longer specifies renewal
timeframes and criteria. Renewal burden is no longer included in
this ICR. Note: Current data for the number of designee applicants
(respondents) has increased significantly from the last report.
This increase in applicants cancelled out some of the time burden
that was removed as a result of no time spent doing renewals. 2.
The cost burden has increased from the previous reported burden due
to the following: • The wages used to estimate cos burden have been
updated to reflect a more accurate estimate of wages for all
expected respondents. • Current data for the number of designee
applicants (respondents) has increased significantly from the last
report. 3. 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. 4. 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.
