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 December 12, 2013, vol. 78, no. 239, page 75670-75671. The 
Advanced Qualification Program uses data driven quality control 
processes for validating and maintaining the effectiveness of air 
carrier training program curriculum content.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by March 21, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by

    Title: Advanced Qualification Program (AQP).
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: Under Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 58, 
Advanced Qualification Program (AQP), the FAA provides certificated air 
carriers, as well as training centers they employ, with a regulatory 
alternative for training, checking, qualifying, and certifying aircrew 
personnel subject to the requirements of 14 CFR parts 121 and 135. Data 
collection and analysis processes ensure that the certificate holder 
provides performance information on its crewmembers, flight 
instructors, and evaluators that will enable them and the FAA to 
determine whether the form and content of training and evaluation 
activities are satisfactorily accomplishing the overall objectives of 
the curriculum.
    Respondents: 18 respondents with approved Advanced Qualification 
Programs.
    Frequency: Data is collected monthly.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 432 hours.

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

clearance of this information collection.
