Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this

Type of Review: 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 June 17, 2025 (90 FR 25742). As prescribed in Title 14
of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 121 and 135, the FAA
requires certificate holders to submit hazardous materials (hazmat)
procedures and information (sometimes referred to as hazmat manuals)
and hazmat training programs as a part of the FAA's certification
process. In addition, revisions to an approved hazmat training program
must be submitted following certification to obtain initial and final
approval as part of the FAA's certification process. Revisions to an
accepted manual may be requested following certification. Initial
certification is completed in accordance with 14 CFR part 119.
Continuing certification is completed in accordance with 14 CFR parts
121 and 135. The FAA uses the certification process to review the
certificate holder's hazmat manual and training programs for compliance
with the applicable regulations, national policies, and safe operating
practices. It also ensures that the documents adequately establish safe
operating procedures. Additionally, 14 CFR part 145 requires certain
repair stations to provide documentation showing that persons handling
hazmat for transportation have been trained in accordance with 49 CFR
parts 171 through 180. The submission of this documentation is covered
in this information collection.
[[Page 59933]]
In this renewal, the FAA plans to editorially revise the title of
this information collection to ``Hazardous Materials Program
Requirements'' to better reflect the information collected under this
OMB Control Number. There are no changes to the information collected
under this request.
Comments Received: In response to the 60-day notice, the FAA
received two comments.
Respondents: The FAA estimates 62 certificate holders under Part
121, 1,844 certificate holders under Part 135, and 4,989 certificate
holders under Part 145.
Frequency: Information is collected on occasion. Part 121 and 135
certificate holders submit their hazmat manual and training program
during certification. If a certificate holder revises their hazmat
training program or its manual, they must provide their approved
training program to the FAA and accepted manual, when appropriate. A
part 145 repair station is required to submit documentation to the FAA
certifying that their hazmat employees are trained in accordance with
the 49 CFR parts 171 through 180 to receive initial certification.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 6.08 hours for Part 121
certificate holders, 3.58 hours for Part 135 certificate holders, and
2.16 hours for Part 145 repair stations.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 23,282 hours for Part 121
certificate holders, 15,635 hours for Part 135 certificate holders, and
1,396 hours for Part 145 repair stations.
Issued in Washington, DC, on December 17, 2025.

Acting Executive Director, FAA, Office of Hazardous Materials Safety.
