DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Certification 
of Repair Stations, Part 145 of Title 14 CFR

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. Persons requesting to obtain an initial air agency 
certificate for a repair station or changes to an existing repair 
station (air agency) certificate are required to submit this request in 
a format acceptable to the FAA. Repair stations perform maintenance, 
preventive maintenance, alterations of aircraft and aircraft components 
and parts thereof. In order to remain consistent and provide ease of 
application, the FAA designed and made available to the public the FAA 
Form 8310-3 Application for Repair Station Certificate and/or Rating. 
The form provides space for the applicant to provide certification 
information such as, but not limited to, ratings sought, physical place 
of business, ownership, and request to contract maintenance functions. 
The applicants submit FAA Form 8310-3 to the FAA Flight Standards 
Office closest to the proposed place of business for initial 
certification. The information collected is necessary to obtain repair 
station certification or if currently certificated, a change in 
ratings, changes in ownership, changes in the physical location of the 
repair station, or any other purpose the applicant deems appropriate.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 29, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Barbara 
Hall, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0682.
    Title: Certification of Repair Stations, Part 145 of Title 14 CFR.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 8310-3.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: 14 CFR part 145 prescribes the requirements for the 
issuance of repair station certificates. The FAA Form 8310-3, 
Application for Repair Station Certificate and/or Rating is available 
to the applicant who wishes to obtain initial repair station 
certification or submit changes to an existing air agency certificate. 
The applicant submits this application to the appropriate FAA office by 
mail or email for review and acceptance. Information entered onto the 
application consists of, official name of repair station, location 
where business is conducted, official mailing address, any doing 
business as name, changes in ratings, or if initial certification, 
ratings sought, changes in location or housing and facilities, change 
in name or ownership, or any other purpose for which the applicant 
requests, including a request for approval to contract maintenance 
functions to outside entities. Once the FAA reviews the submitted 
application and finds by inspection that the applicant has the ability 
to comply with the 14 CFR part 145 requirements for certification, an 
air agency certificate and ratings is issued. The FAA retains a copy of 
the application in the FAA office that issued the certificate for an 
indefinite time or a time-period specified by mandated file retention 
laws after the certificate is revoked or surrendered.
    Respondents: Approximately 4,820 maintenance and alteration 
organizations.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 723 hours.
    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.
