Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 42 / Thursday, March 3, 2022 / Notices 12213 

aviation regulations. Because of this 

change, and to add clarity, we are using 

the name of the FAA form 8420–8, 

Application for Pilot School 

Certification. Pilot schools are mandated 

to report information to the FAA and to 

keep specific records. Pilot schools train 

private, commercial, flight instructor, 

and airline transport pilots, along with 

training for associated ratings in various 

types of aircraft. The FAA form 8240– 

8 is necessary to assure continuing 

compliance with part 141, renewal of 

pilot school certificates every 24 

months, and for any amendments to 

pilot school certificates. 

The FAA is also making a burden 

adjustment to the number of pilot 

schools. Currently, this number is 527. 

We estimate 31 new applications for an 

original certification annually from 

applicants for a pilot school certificate. 

We estimate 263 applications for 

renewal annually. This figure represents 

approximately half of the current 527 

certificated pilot schools. 

Respondents: Respondents include 

new applications, renewals of the pilot 

school certification, and amendments to 

an existing pilot school. 

Frequency: Every 24 months 

certificated pilot schools must renew 

their pilot school certification. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: We anticipate 31 new 

applications at a rate of 0.5 hours for a 

total of 15.5 hours. We also anticipate 

263 applications for renewals at a rate 

of 0.5 hours for a total of 131.5 hours. 

Additionally, we estimate 20 

applications for an amendment to their 

pilot school certificate at a rate of 0.5 

hours for a total burden of 10.0 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: We 

anticipate a total annual burden of 

27,740 hours.

2022.

Background 

49 CFR part 395, subpart B establishes 

minimum performance and design 

standards for hours-of-service (HOS) 

ELDs; requirements for the mandatory 

use of these devices by drivers currently 

required to prepare HOS records of duty 

status (RODS); requirements concerning 

HOS supporting documents; and 

measures to address concerns about 

harassment resulting from the 

mandatory use of ELDs. 

To ensure consistency among ELD 

vendors and devices, detailed functional 

specifications were published as part of 

the December 2015 final rule (Dec. 16, 

2015, 80 FR 78292). Each ELD vendor 

developing an ELD technology must 

register online at a secure FMCSA 

website where the ELD provider can 

securely certify that its ELD is 

compliant with the functional 

specifications. Each ELD vendor must 

certify that each ELD model and version 

has been sufficiently tested to meet the 

functional requirements in the rule 

under the conditions in which the ELD 

would be used. 

ELD vendors must self-certify and 

register their devices with FMCSA 

online via Form MCSA–5893, 

‘‘Electronic Logging Device (ELD) 

Vendor Registration and Certification.’’ 

FMCSA expects 100% of respondents to 

submit their information electronically. 

Once completed, FMCSA issues a 

unique identification number that the 

ELD vendor will embed in their 

device(s). FMCSA maintains a list on its 

website of the current ELD vendors and 

devices that have been certified (by the 

vendors) to meet the functional 

specifications. The information is 

necessary for fleets and drivers to easily 

find a compliant ELD for their use in 

complying with the FMCSA regulation 

requiring the use of ELDs. 

On October 14, 2021, FMCSA 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register with a 60-day public comment 

period to announce this request to 

renew the information collection (86 FR 

57249). The Agency received no 

comments in response to the notice. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for FMCSA to perform its 

functions; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (3) ways for FMCSA 

to enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information. 

Issued under the authority delegated in 49 

CFR 1.87.

Associate Administrator for Research, 

Technology and Registration.
