OMB Control Number: 2120-0040.
Title: Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools.
Form Numbers: FAA Form 8310-6.
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 April 22, 2025 (90 FR 16913). This information
collection outlines the reporting and recordkeeping burdens associated
with compliance under 14 CFR part 147. These requirements are
implemented pursuant to Section 135 of the Aircraft Certification,
Safety, and Accountability Act, as enacted in Public Law 116-260, the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021.
The collection of information includes both reporting and
recordkeeping obligations for Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools
(AMTS). All AMTS applicants are required to submit an application along
with a description of their facilities, the basis of their curriculum,
and how the AMTS meets instructor requirements. Applicants must also
provide any additional documentation necessary to demonstrate
compliance with part 147 requirements. Each applicant is required to
establish a curriculum aligned with the Mechanic Airman Certification
Standards to adequately prepare students for the FAA examinations
required to obtain a Mechanic certificate and associated ratings.
Applicants that are not accredited by an accrediting organization
recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, must instead develop a
Quality Control System that is submitted for approval by the FAA.
Once certificated, AMTS must notify the FAA of any additional
training locations beyond the school's primary location, and where the
AMTS will conduct training under part 147. AMTS are required to issue
authenticated documentation verifying when a student has completed the
part 147 curriculum. This documentation serves as evidence of
eligibility for the student to take the FAA written mechanic tests.
AMTS may also issue authenticated documentation for students who have
completed only the General portion of the curriculum. For AMTS
operating under a FAA-Approved Quality Control System, all records
specified in the QC system must be maintained for the durations
established by the AMTS. The information collected is provided to the
certificate holder/applicant's appropriate FAA Flight Standards office
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 208 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: 29 hours/response on
average.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 21,901 hours/year.
Issued in Washington DC, on June 12, 2025.

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