14 CFR part 65 prescribes, among other
things, rules governing the issuance of certificates and associated
ratings for mechanics, repairmen, parachute riggers, and the
issuance and renewal of inspection authorizations. The information
is collected on forms submitted by applicants for mechanic,
repairman, or parachute rigger certificates, or applicants for an
initial or renewed inspection authorization. The information is
used for evaluation by the FAA and is necessary for determining
eligibility for issuance of a certificate, rating, or
authorization. In addition to the required application for a
certificate or authorization, applicants are required to provide
the FAA evidence of training or experience related to the
certificate, rating, authorization, or certificate privileges
sought, to include the following: • Mechanic applicants must
provide evidence of meeting one of the experience requirements of §
65.77. • Inspection authorization renewal applicants must provide
evidence of their renewal activity. • Parachute rigger applicants
must provide evidence of packing a minimum number of parachutes,
and in some cases experience. • Repairman applicants employed by a
repair station or air carrier must provide their employer
recommendation and evidence of training or experience. • Amateur
aircraft builder repairmen must show evidence they are the primary
builder of the aircraft for which privileges are sought. Applicants
for a light-sport repairman (certificate must complete an
FAA-accepted training course and provide completion documentation.
Training course providers of light-sport repairman training courses
must submit their training course to the FAA for acceptance.
Additionally, the training course provider must issue a completion
certificate to students who complete an FAA-accepted light-sport
repairman training course. Mechanic and parachute rigger applicants
who fail a required certification test, and who test within 30 days
of that test failure, must present a signed statement certifying
that the applicant has received additional instruction in each of
the subjects failed. Certificated parachute riggers must maintain
records of the packing, maintenance, and alteration of parachutes
performed or supervised by the parachute rigger. 14 CFR § 65.11
requires that applications for a certificate or rating under this
part be made on a form and in a manner prescribed by the FAA
Administrator. The instruments (forms) described below are
submitted by the applicant, to the FAA, by way of the local Flight
Standards Office. The airman application forms included in this
collection are: • FAA Form 8610-1, Mechanic’s Application for
Inspection Authorization • FAA Form 8610-2, Airman Certificate
and/or Rating Application – Mechanic and Parachute Rigger • FAA
Form 8610-3, Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application –
Repairman The information collected on the airman application forms
is, and has been, used by the FAA to determine eligibility for a
mechanic, repairman, or parachute rigger certificate and/or rating,
or a mechanic certificate inspection authorization. Application and
certification are necessary to ensure qualifications of the
applicant. The Pilots Bill of Rights (PBR) is a notification
included in the supplemental information of FAA Forms 8610-1,
8610-2, and 8610-3. The PBR notifies all applicants that they are
under investigation, which is precipitated by submission of the
application, to determine whether the applicant meets the
qualifications for the airman certificate, rating, or inspection
authorization being requested. Respondents submit the FAA airmen
application forms in this collection to local FAA Flight Standards
offices, for review by the FAA, to determine the applicant’s
eligibility. The maintenance and dissemination of the data is
described in DOT/FAA System of Records Notice (SORN) 847, Aviation
Records on Individuals.

The FAA is revising this
collection to reflect changes to FAA Form 8610-3, Airman
Certificate and/or Rating Application – Repairman, to align with
proposed rulemaking Modernization of Special Airworthiness
Certification (MOSAIC), Docket No. FAA-2023-1377 . The specific
changes to this form include: • Revised the name of the “repairman
certificate (light-sport aircraft)” to “repairman certificate
(light-sport)” and removed use of “LSA” acronym, • Replaced the
term “Class” with “Aircraft Category”, • Listed the following
aircraft categories, with an associated checkbox for each:
airplane, rotorcraft, glider, lighter-than-air, powered-lift,
powered parachute, and weight-shift control aircraft. The burden
estimates related to FAA acceptance of light-sport repairman
training courses have been revised. These burden changes are not a
result of the MOSAIC rulemaking and are not new. However, previous
estimates were incorrectly based on the number of light-sport
repairman applicants, which is inaccurate because the training
courses themselves do not result in PRA-related burden on
applicants; training course burden estimates have been revised to
reflect the burden on training course providers for development of
training courses and for issuing the required training course
completion certificate. Training courses no longer have a 2-year
expiration date. Therefore, the burden associated with renewing
training courses every two years has been removed from estimates
previously approved. The estimated burden to the Federal government
was also increased because the previous IC did not include Federal
burden related to the FAA review of light-sport repairman training
courses. The supplemental document “Part 65 Forms-Details of IC”
has been revised to reflect the specific changes made to each page
of 8610-3 under this revision. Changes to the form do not result in
new impacts on the collection, its justification, or burden
estimates.
