    Title: Pilot Certification and Qualification Requirements for Air 
Carrier Operations.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 8700-1.
    Type of Review: Revision 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 9, 2015 (80 FR 19107). FAA aviation safety 
inspectors review the Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certification 
Training Program (CTP) submittals to determine that the program 
complies with the applicable requirements of 14 CFR 61.156. The 
programs that comply with the minimum requirements receive approval to 
begin offering or providing the course to applicants for an ATP 
certificate with a multiengine class rating or an ATP certificate 
obtained concurrently with an airplane type rating. The inspectors also 
review an institution of higher education's application (new form) for 
the authority to certify its graduates meet the minimum requirements of 
14 CFR 61.160. The institutions of higher education that receive a 
letter of authorization for their degree program(s) will be authorized 
to place a certifying statement on a graduates' transcript indicating 
he or she is eligible for a restricted privileges ATP certificate. For 
those institutions of higher education that have received the Letter of 
Authorization (LOA) from the FAA to certify graduates for a restricted 
privileges ATP certificate that would like to add degree programs or 
additional coursework to the authorization, they must submit an 
application for revision. FAA will review the revised application, and 
amend the LOA accordingly.
    Respondents: Approximately 50 new applicants.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 120 hours for ATP CTP course 
development, 8 hours for application for the authority to certify that 
graduates meet the minimum requirements of 14 CFR 61.160, 2 hours for 
revision application for authority to certify graduates for a 
restricted privileges ATP certificate.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,411.75 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on June 16, 2015.
