control processes for validating and maintaining the effectiveness of 
air carrier training program curriculum content.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by April 9, 2018.

Hall, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 10101 Hillwood Parkway,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    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.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0701.
    Title: Advanced Qualification Program (AQP).
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: Under Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 58, 
Advanced Qualification Program (AQP), the FAA provides certificated air 
carriers, as well as training centers they employ, with a regulatory 
alternative for training, checking, qualifying, and certifying aircrew 
personnel subject to the requirements of 14 CFR parts 121 and 135. Data 
collection and analysis processes ensure that the certificate holder 
provides performance information on its crewmembers, flight 
instructors, and evaluators that will enable them and the FAA to 
determine whether the form and content of training and evaluation 
activities are satisfactorily accomplishing the overall objectives of 
the curriculum.
    Respondents: 25 respondents with approved Advanced Qualification 
Programs.
    Frequency: Data are collected monthly.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 600 hours.

    Issued in Washington, DC.

FAA Information Collection Clearance Officer, Performance, Policy, and
