DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Hazardous 
Materials Training Requirements

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 collection involves requirements for certain repair 
stations to provide documentation showing that persons handling hazmat 
for transportation have been trained following DOT guidelines.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 24, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carla Scott on (202) 385-4293, or by 
e-mail at: Carla.Scott@faa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0705.
    Title: Hazardous Materials Training Requirements.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: 14 CFR 119.49(a)(13) provides that a certificate 
holder's operations specifications must include either an authorization 
permitting the certificate holder to handle and transport hazmat (will-
carry certificate holder) or a prohibition against handling and 
transporting hazmat (will-not-carry certificate holder). The FAA, as 
prescribed in 14 CFR parts 121 and 135, requires certificate holders to 
submit manuals and hazmat training programs, or a revision to an 
approved hazmat training program to obtain initial and final approval 
as part of the FAA certification process. Original certification is 
completed in accordance with part 119. Continuing certification is 
completed in accordance with part 121 and part 135. The FAA uses the 
approval process to determine compliance of the hazmat training 
programs with the applicable regulations, national policies and safe 
operating practices. The FAA must ensure that the documents adequately 
establish safe operating procedures.
    Respondents: Approximately 2,772 operators.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 7 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 6,900 hours.
    ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. 
Carla Scott, Room 336, Federal Aviation Administration, AES-300, 950 
L'Enfant Plaza, SW., Washington, DC 20024.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) 
ways that the burden could be

minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information. 
The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in the request 
for OMB's clearance of this information collection.

    Dated: August 18, 2011.
