Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Advanced
Qualification Program (AQP)
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 Advanced Qualification Program uses data driven quality
control processes for validating and maintaining the effectiveness of
air carrier training program curriculum content.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by February 10, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by
email at: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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. The
main goal of the AQP is to improve flight crew performance by providing
alternative means of complying with certain rules that may inhibit
innovative use of modern technology for flight crewmember training. AQP
is continuously validated through the collection and analysis of
trainee performance. Data collection and analysis processes ensure that
the certificate holder provides performance information on its
crewmembers, flight instructors, and evaluators that will enable the
certificate holder 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: 18 respondents with approved Advanced Qualification
Programs.
Frequency: Data is collected monthly.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 432 hours.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Kathy
DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation Administration, AES-200, 6500 S.
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169.
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.
