OMB Control Number: 2120-0040.
Title: Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools.
Form Numbers: FAA Form 8610-6.
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 March 15, 2022 (87 FR 14610). This information
collection summarizes burden under 14 CFR part 147 regulations to be
issued in accordance with Section 135 of the Aircraft Certification,
Safety, and Accountability Act in Public Law 116-260, the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2021.
The collection of information includes both reporting and
recordkeeping requirements related to AMTS. All AMTS applicants must
submit an application and a description of their facilities, curriculum
basis, and instructor requirements. Additionally the applicant must
submit any other information necessary to demonstrate compliance with
the requirements of part 147. All applicants must establish a
curriculum that aligns with the mechanic airman certification standards
and that will ensure students are prepared to take the requisite FAA
tests for a mechanic certificate and rating(s). Applicants that do not
hold accreditation by an accrediting organization recognized by the
Department of Education, must develop a Quality Control System and have
it approved by the FAA.
Certificated AMTS must notify the FAA of locations, which are in
addition to the school's primary location, where the AMTS will conduct
training under part 147. All AMTS must maintain and utilize the
curriculum designed to continually align with the mechanic airman
certifications standards. AMTS must issue authenticated documentation
that shows when a student graduated from the part 147 curriculum. This
documentation can be used by an applicant for a mechanic certificate
towards eligibility to take the FAA written tests. AMTS have the option
to issue an authenticated document when a student completes only the
General course content of the AMTS curriculum, which would allow the
student to take the FAA General written test prior to completing the
entire AMTS curriculum. AMTS with an FAA-Approved Quality Control
System must maintain the records the AMTS describes, for the timeframes
the AMTS prescribes in its Quality Control System.
The information collected is provided to the certificate holder/
applicant's appropriate FAA Flight Standards office in order to allow
the FAA to determine compliance with the part 147 requirements for
obtaining and or retaining an FAA air agency certificate. For
applicants, when all part 147 requirements have been met, an FAA air
agency certificate is issued, with the appropriate ratings. For FAA
certificated AMTS, the FAA uses the information collected to determine
if the AMTS provides appropriate training at each location of the AMTS,
meets quality control system requirements, and ensures that AMTS
students receive an appropriate document showing the student is
eligible to take the FAA tests to obtain a mechanic certificate.
Respondents: Approximately 10 AMTS applicants, and 182 FAA-
certificated AMTS respond to this collection annually.
Frequency: AMTS applicants respond one time, prior to
certification. FAA-certificated AMTS respond occasionally after
certification, and have ongoing recordkeeping requirements.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 19 hours/response on
average.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 11,438 hours/year.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 19, 2022.

Aviation Safety Inspector, Office of Safety Standards, Aircraft
Maintenance Division, Airman Section.
