As prescribed in Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 121 and 135, the FAA requires certificate holders to submit hazardous materials (hazmat) procedures and information (sometimes referred to as hazmat manuals) and hazmat training programs as a part of the FAAâs certification process. In addition, revisions to an approved hazmat training program must be submitted following certification to obtain initial and final approval as part of the FAAâs certification process. Revisions to an accepted manual may be requested following certification. Initial certification is completed in accordance with 14 CFR part 119. Continuing certification is completed in accordance with 14 CFR parts 121 and 135. The FAA uses the certification process to review the certificate holderâs hazmat manual and training programs for compliance with the applicable regulations, national policies, and safe operating practices. It also ensures that the documents adequately establish safe operating procedures. Additionally, 14 CFR part 145 requires certain repair stations to provide documentation showing that persons handling hazmat for transportation have been trained in accordance with 49 CFR parts 171 through 180. The submission of this documentation is covered in this information collection.

For this information collection, the FAA has adjusted the estimates based on the current number of active CHs and repair stations. Specifically, the FAA estimates a decrease in active Part 121 and 135 CHs and an increase in active Part 145 Repair Stations. Additionally, the FAA has adjusted the average annual burden for Part 121 and 135 hazmat manual and training program as well as Part 145 Repair Station training. Specifically, the FAA estimates an increase in estimated burden to Part 121 and 135 CHs associated with the hazmat manual and training program to account for the increased complexity in aircraft operations and increased interaction between CHs and the FAA. Additionally, the FAA estimates an increase in Part 145 Repair Stations training burden to account for more realistic estimates and complexity in Part 121, 135, and 145 hazmat training programs. Lastly, the FAA has editorially revised the collection title to more appropriately summarize the collection.
