Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 113 / Tuesday, June 12, 2018 / Notices 27367 

soliciting comments on the following 

collection of information was published 

on April 3, 2018 (83 FR 14309). The 

FAA program office for part 147, the 

General Aviation Branch of Flight 

Standards, Aircraft Maintenance 

Division recognizes there were some 

discrepancies in the 2016 filing. This 

revised information collection corrects 

the September 30, 2016, supporting 

statement approved for part 147. The 

information collection burden hours 

and costs will be noticeably higher than 

posted in the 2016 supporting statement 

for three primary reasons: 

• First, due to program changes 

implemented by FAA Notice N 

8900.278, dated November 21, 2014, 

operations specifications (OpSpecs) 

were introduced to Title 14 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 147 

AMTSs. OpSpecs must be issued to 

institutions with part 147 certificates by 

July 21, 2015. This correction includes 

the burden added by OpSpecs not 

addressed in the 2016 information 

collection. 

• Second, the current enrollment 

figures cited in 2016 were 12,500 

students but are now 17,800 students. 

• Third, some sections of part 147 

were not represented as collecting 

information and to correct the record, 

the FAA is including them in this 

revised report. 

The respondents to this information 

collection are part 147 certificate 

holders or applicants. Currently, there 

are 177 FAA certificated AMTSs. The 

information collected determines 

compliance with applicant eligibility 

and ensures that certificated AMTSs 

meet the minimum requirements of part 

147. The information collected is 

focused on an AMTS’ initial 

curriculum, instructor’s qualifications, 

maintenance of curriculum, facilities, 

instructional equipment, and change of 

location, if applicable. Recordkeeping 

requirements address student 

attendance, tests, grades, any instruction 

credited under section 147.31(c), and 

authenticated transcripts of student’s 

grades when credit was given based on 

training from a previous school. An 

AMTS must also keep a current progress 

chart for each student showing practical 

projects completed or to be completed 

in each subject. 

Respondents: Part 147 AMTS 

Certificate applicants and Certificate 

holders. Currently, there are 177 AMTS 

Certificate holders across the country. 

Frequency: Initial certification, on 

occasion if changes made by AMTS, and 

ongoing (i.e. recordkeeping).

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of a Renewed Approval of 

Information Collection: Protection of 

Voluntarily Submitted Information 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval to renew an information 

collection. The Federal Register Notice 

with a 60-day comment period soliciting 

comments on the following collection of 

information was published on April 4, 

2018 (83 FR 14714). To encourage 

people to voluntarily submit desired 

information, regulations were added to 

Title 49, United States Code, in the 

Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 

1996. Section 40123 allows the 

Administrator, through FAA 

regulations, to protect from disclosure 

voluntarily provided information 

relating to safety and security issues. 

This rule imposes a negligible 

paperwork burden for certificate holders 

and fractional ownership programs that 

choose to submit a letter notifying the 

Administrator that they wish to 

participate in a current program. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by July 12, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget. Comments should be addressed 

to the attention of the Desk Officer, 

Department of Transportation/FAA, and 

sent via electronic mail to oira_

submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed to 

(202) 395–6974, or mailed to the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 

Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th 

Street NW, Washington, DC 20503. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information collection; and (d) 

ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information. The agency 

will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Barbara Hall at (940) 594–5913, or by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0646. 

Title: Protection of Voluntarily 

Submitted Information. 

Form Numbers: There are no forms 

associated with this collection. 

Type of Review: This is a renewal of 

an information collection. 

Background: The Federal Register 

Notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on the following 

collection of information was published 

on April 4, 2018 (83 FR 14714). Part 193 

of the FAA regulations provides that 

certain information submitted to the 

FAA on a voluntary basis is not to be 

disclosed. Part 193 implements a 

statutory provision. Section 40123 was 

added to Title 49, United States Code, 

in the Federal Aviation Reauthorization 

Act of 1996 to encourage people to 

voluntarily submit desired information. 

Section 40123 allows the Administrator, 

through FAA regulations, to protect 

from disclosure voluntarily provided 

information relating to safety and 

security issues. 

The purpose of part 193 is to 

encourage the aviation community to 

voluntarily share information with the 

FAA so that the agency may work 

cooperatively with industry to identify 

modifications to rules, policies, and 

procedures needed to improve safety, 

security, and efficiency of the National 

Airspace System. FAA programs that are 

covered under part 193 are Voluntary 

Safety Reporting Programs, Air Traffic 

and Technical Operations Safety Action 

programs, the Flight Operational 

Quality Assurance program, the 

Aviation Safety Action Program, and the 

Voluntary Disclosure Reporting 

Program. This rule imposes a negligible 

paperwork burden for certificate holders 

and factional ownership programs that 

choose to submit a letter notifying the 

Administrator that they wish to 

participate in a current program. 

The number of respondents has 

greatly increased since the initial 

approval of this information collection. 

In order to accurately reflect the burden 

of this information collection going 

forward, the FAA has included total 

current participants in the programs. 

Respondents: 930 certificate holders 

and fractional ownership programs. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: One hour. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 930 

hours.
