Title: Certification: Mechanics, Repairman, Parachute Riggers.

FAA Form 8610-6.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
[[Page 47122]]
Background: 14 CFR part 65 prescribes, among other things, rules
governing the issuance of certificates and associated ratings for
mechanics, repairmen, parachute riggers, and the issuance and renewal
of a mechanic certificate IA. The information is submitted by
applicants on FAA Form 8610-1 for mechanic IA application or renewal,
FAA Form 8610-2 for mechanic and parachute rigger certificates, and FAA
Form 8610-3 for repairmen certificates. The information collected at
the time of application is used by the FAA to determine the individuals
have the appropriate knowledge and skill to exercise the privileges of
the certificate, rating, and authorization requested, to ensure
aircraft are airworthy for operation in the national airspace.
Applicants who fail a required certification test and who choose to
test within 30 days of that test failure must present a signed
statement to the FAA certifying that the applicant has received
additional instruction in each failed subject.
IA refresher course training providers develop training and request
FAA acceptance of training courses using FAA Form 8610-6. These courses
provide IA holders with refresher training to be eligible for IA
renewal. Light-sport repairman training course providers develop
training and request FAA acceptance of the training course. These
courses provide light-sport repairman applicants with training to be
eligible for a light-sport repairman certificate with an inspection or
maintenance rating. IA and light-sport repairmen training courses
require FAA acceptance to ensure that certificate holder and applicant
training provides the appropriate knowledge and skill to exercises the
privileges of the certificate, rating, and authorization, to ensure
aircraft are airworthy for operation.
Parachute riggers must maintain records of the packing,
maintenance, and alteration of parachutes performed or supervised by
the parachute rigger. These records are used to ensure that parachutes
are properly maintained and are safe for use.
Respondents: Approximately 30,000 mechanic, parachute rigger, and
repairmen certificate holders, applicants, and training course
providers.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: Approximately 40,000 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on September 26, 2025.
Tanya A. Glines,
Aviation Safety Inspector, Office of Safety Standards, Aircraft
Maintenance Division, Airman Section.
