Abstract: Response to this collection of information is required to obtain a benefit, specifically, to obtain a FAA designation as a representative of the Administrator. 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 act as representatives of the FAA Administrator in performing 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), § 183.12 • Designated Engineering Representative (DER), §183.29 • Designated Manufacturing Inspection Representatives (DMIR), §183.31 • Designated Airworthiness Representative - Manufacturing (DAR-F), §183.33 • Designated Airworthiness Representative - Maintenance (DAR-T), § 183.33 • Pilot Examiners, § 183.23 •Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) (General Aviation and Air Carrier) •Specialty Aircraft Examiner (SAE) •Administrative Pilot Examiner (Admin-PE) • Technical Personnel Examiners § 183.25 •Designated Mechanic Examiner (DME) •Designated Parachute Rigger Examiner (DPRE) In addition to the reporting by applicants, all appointed designees, regardless of designation type, must report any arrest, indictment, or conviction for violation of local, State, or Federal law to the FAA within 30 days of such arrest, indictment, or conviction. The designee must report such events to the FAA in writing.

Short Statement: The FAA has now fully implemented the use of the Designee Management System (DMS) web-based application (described in question 3) for the designee application process. This IC has been updated to describe that process and remove reference to any paper forms previously used in the designee application process. The burden estimates in this collection have changed due to the following: • The collection now reflects 3 instruments by collection type, rather than 7 instruments reflecting the different designee types: (1) initial designee application, (2) Applicant yearly application updates, and (3) appointed designee reporting of arrests, indictments, and convictions. These changes more accurately reflect the burden on respondents to this collection. • The estimated time for each response is updated to reflect the previous 6-hour estimate for initial applicants, and an additional 2 hours per response are now estimated for updating existing applications yearly. Previously the time needed to complete the yearly application update was included in the overall time per response for each designee type. • A new IC for designee reporting of arrests, indictments, and convictions has been added to the ICR to comply with Section 408(a)(3) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024. The FAA burden estimates in this collection have changed due to the following: • Cost estimates were miscalculated in the previous ICR. • The FAA uses 2-3 ASI to review applicant information, therefore, the estimates in this ICR are based on 3 ASIs time instead of just a single ASI. • The number of respondents has lowered to reflect current applicants in DMS, which in turn reflects a lower overall burden.
