SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-NEW.
    Title: Inspection Authorization Refresher Course Acceptance Form.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 8610-6.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on April 29, 2021 (86 FR 22758). No comments were 
received. Successful completion of a refresher course acceptable to the 
Administrator is one method available for mechanics renewing their 
Inspection Authorization in accordance with 14 CFR 65.93. The 
information requested by the form enables the FAA to determine if the 
IA refresher course providers offer course content that meets the 
intent of the regulation, 14 CFR part 65.93(a)(4). The form also seeks 
substantiation of the course provider's administrative processes to 
ensure recordkeeping of the training provided to IA mechanics that have 
taken their courses. Though no comments were received, the number of 
estimated respondents used in the burden estimates has been reduced due 
to a decrease of course providers and accepted courses, since the 60 
day Federal Register Notice published.
    Respondents: Persons or entities who apply for or have received 
FAA-acceptance of courses to conduct IA refresher training.
    Frequency: Course acceptance is required initially, and must be 
renewed every 4 years. On occasion, course providers must request 
acceptance when substantial course revisions are made. Course provider 
record keeping is a function of the number of courses taken by IA 
mechanics.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1 hours reporting, 0.1 hours 
recordkeeping.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 6,860 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on February 25, 2022.
Tanya Glines,
Aviation Safety Inspector, Office of Safety Standards, Aircraft 
Maintenance Division, Airmen Section.
