Federal Register Volume 83, Issue 209 (October 29, 2018)

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 August 28, 2018. The burden in this 30-day notice is less than the burden published in the 60-day notice. The 60-day notice burden included a one-time training obligation that is complete. 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.

to the FAA. Repair stations perform maintenance, preventive 
maintenance, alterations of aircraft and aircraft components and parts

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.

    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on August 28, 2018 (83 FR 43954). 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.
