Agency Information Collection Activities: Corrected Requests for 
Comments; Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: 
Certification of Repair Stations, Part 145 of Title 14, CFR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

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 August 28, 2018. The burden in this 30-day notice is less 
than the burden published in the 60-day notice. The 60-day notice 
burden included a one-time training obligation that is complete. 
Persons requesting to obtain an initial air agency certificate for a 
repair station or changes to an existing repair station (air agency) 
certificate are required to submit this request in a format acceptable 
to the FAA. Repair stations perform maintenance, preventive 
maintenance, alterations of aircraft and aircraft components and parts 
thereof. In order to remain consistent and provide ease of application, 
the FAA designed and made available to the public the FAA Form 8310-3 
Application for Repair Station Certificate and/or Rating. The form 
provides space for the applicant to provide certification information 
such as, but not limited to, ratings sought, physical place of 
business, ownership, and request to contract maintenance functions. The 
applicants submit FAA Form 8310-3 to the FAA Flight Standards Office 
closest to the proposed place of business for initial certification. 
The information collected is necessary to obtain repair station 
certification or if currently certificated, a change in ratings, 
changes in ownership, changes in the physical location of the repair 
station, or any other purpose the applicant deems appropriate.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 28, 2018.

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

    Form Numbers: FAA Form 8310-3.
    Type of Review: Clearance of a 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 August 28, 2018 (83 FR 43954). 14 CFR part 145 
prescribes the requirements for the issuance of repair station 
certificates. The FAA Form 8310-3, Application for Repair Station 
Certificate and/or Rating is available to the applicant who wishes to 
obtain initial repair station certification or submit changes to an 
existing air agency certificate. The applicant submits this application 
to the appropriate FAA office by mail or email for review and 
acceptance. Information entered onto the application consists of, 
official name of repair station, location where business is conducted, 
official mailing address, any doing business as name, changes in 
ratings, or if initial certification, ratings sought, changes in 
location or housing and facilities, change in name or ownership, or any 
other purpose for which the applicant requests, including a request for 
approval to contract maintenance functions to outside entities. Once 
the FAA reviews the submitted application and finds by inspection that 
the applicant has the ability to comply with the 14 CFR part 145 
requirements for certification, an air agency certificate and ratings 
is issued. The FAA retains a copy of the application in the FAA office 
that issued the certificate for an indefinite time or a time-period 
specified by mandated file retention laws after the certificate is 
revoked or surrendered.
    Respondents: Approximately 4,820 maintenance and alteration 
organizations.
    Responses: 193.
