Administrator representatives. As authorized, these organizations 
perform certification functions on behalf of the FAA. Applications 
include information about the applicant, the applicant's experience and 
qualifications, and the authority it seeks. Applications are submitted 
to the appropriate FAA office responsible for delegating the issuance 
certificates and approvals and are reviewed by the FAA team assigned to 
the applicant to determine whether the applicant meets the requirements 
necessary to be authorized as a representative of the Administrator. 
Procedures manuals are submitted for applications that are accepted by 
the FAA and contain the applicant's proposed procedures to be approved 
by the FAA to ensure that the correct processes are utilized when 
performing functions on behalf of the FAA as required by part 183 
subpart D. These requirements are necessary to manage the various 
approvals issued by the organization and document approvals issued and 
must be maintained to address potential future safety issues.
