    Title: Representatives of the Administrator, 14 CFR part 183.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Type of Review: 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 May 29, 2024 (89 FR 46571). 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.
    Response to this collection of information is required to obtain a 
benefit, specifically, to obtain a FAA designation as a representative 
of the FAA Administrator. 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.
    Respondents: Approximately 2,200 individual designee applicants and 
designated representatives of the FAA Administrator.
    Frequency: As needed, annually.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 3 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 5,000 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on October 7, 2024.

Aviation Safety Inspector, FAA Office of Safety Standards, Aircraft 
Maintenance Division, Airmen Section.
