Abstract
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 October 26, 2021. The collection involves filling out the Application for a Pilot School Certification form and submitting this form to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The information to be collected is necessary because Title 14 Code of the Federal Regulations (CFR), part 141, requires an applicant for a pilot school to receive the FAA Administrator's approval for the issuance of a pilot school certificate. We have revised the name of this information collection for consistency with FAA form 8420-8, Application for Pilot School Certification. We have also updated the number of pilot schools.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 October 26, 2021. The collection involves filling out the
Application for a Pilot School Certification form and submitting this
form to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The information to
be collected is necessary because Title 14 Code of the Federal
Regulations (CFR), part 141, requires an applicant for a pilot school
to receive the FAA Administrator's approval for the issuance of a pilot
school certificate. We have revised the name of this information
collection for consistency with FAA form 8420-8, Application for Pilot
School Certification. We have also updated the number of pilot schools.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by April 4, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular

the collected information.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0009.
Title: Application for Pilot School Certification.
Form Numbers: 8420-8.
Type of Review: This is 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 October 26, 2021 (86 FR 59265). The information on FAA
From 8420-8, Application for Pilot School Certification, is required
from applicants who wish certification as a pilot school with the
associated ratings, or who wish to renew their pilot school
certification. On previous renewals, the title of this information
collection and notice was ``Pilot Schools--FAR 141''. We have revised
the name of this information collection as the term ``FAR'' is no
longer used to reference
[[Page 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.
Issued in Washington, DC, on February 28, 2022.

Project Manager, Flight Standards Service, General Aviation and
Commercial Division.
