Title 49, United States Code, Section 44702 states that the Secretary of Transportation may delegate to any properly qualified private person, the examination and testing necessary for the issuance of certificates under Title VI of the Federal Aviation Act. Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 183, Representatives of the Administrator, describes the requirements for delegating to any properly qualified private person, the examination and testing necessary for the issuance of airmen certificates.

Designee applicants come from private industry. They are experts in the aviation and medical communities who are familiar with the regulations and certification requirements necessary to issue an FAA certificate. 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 FAA has now fully implemented the use of the Designee Management System (DMS) web-based application, located at                     *https://designee.faa.gov/​#/​login,*                     for the application process for all designee types.                

Additionally, designees 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.
