Abstract: The respondents to this collection are current part 147 certificated AMTSs and applicants for a part 147 air agency certificate. Responding to the collection is required to obtain and/or retain a benefit. The collection includes both reporting and recordkeeping requirements. • Certain part 147 requirements involve reporting to the FAA at the time of application for an FAA air agency certificate. Other reporting requirements occur occasionally after certification, for example, when the certificate holder’s operations change. Schools must issue graduation and/or completion documentation based on the graduation or curriculum completion schedule of the school. • AMTS who are not accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the Department of Education have recordkeeping requirements related to an FAA-approved QC system. The information collected is provided to the certificate holder/applicant’s appropriate FAA Flight Standards office to allow the FAA to determine compliance with the part 147 requirements for obtaining and/or retaining an FAA air agency certificate. For part 147 applicants, when all part 147 requirements have been met, an FAA air agency certificate with the appropriate ratings is issued. For certificated part 147 certificate holders, the FAA uses the information collected to: 1) Verify that the AMTS operates in accordance with their certificate and operations specifications, as required by § 147.3, 2) Determine if the AMTS provides appropriate training as required by part 147, and 3) Ensure that AMTS graduates receive appropriate documentation showing the graduate is eligible to take the FAA tests required to obtain a mechanic certificate, pursuant to part 65.
