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 Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was 
published on June 24, 2021. The collection involves the information 
that each applicant for an aircraft dispatcher certificate or FAA 
approval of an aircraft dispatcher course must submit to the FAA. These 
applications, reports and training course materials are provided to the 
local Flight Standards District Office of the FAA that oversees the 
certificates and FAA approvals. The collection is necessary for the FAA 
to determine qualification and the ability of the applicant to safely 
dispatch aircraft. Without this collection of information, applicants 
for a certificate or course approval would not be able to receive 
certification or approval. The collection of information for those who 
choose to train aircraft dispatcher applicants is to protect the 
applicants by ensuring that they are properly trained.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by May 5, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
