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.
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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
