[top] Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on April 8, 2025, FR Doc. 2025-05966. Air carrier maintenance has evolved from mostly an "in-house" operation to an extended network of maintenance providers that fulfill contracts with air carriers to perform their aircraft maintenance. Any person performing maintenance for an air carrier must follow the air carrier's maintenance manual. The FAA has found that,

although an air carrier is required to list its maintenance providers and a general description of the work to be done in its maintenance manual, these lists are not always kept up to date, are not always complete, and are not always in a format that is readily useful for FAA oversight and analysis purposes. Without accurate and complete information on the work being performed for air carriers, the FAA cannot adequately target its inspection resources for surveillance and make accurate risk assessments. This collection of information supports regulatory requirements necessary under 14 CFR part 121 and part 135 to ensure safety of flight by requiring air carriers to provide a list that includes the name and physical (street) address, or addresses, where the work is carried out for each maintenance provider that performs work for the certificate holder, and a description of the type of maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alteration that is to be performed at each location. The list must be updated with any changes, including additions or deletions, and the updated list provided to the FAA in a format acceptable to the FAA by the last day of each calendar month. This collection also supports the FAA's strategic goal to provide to the next level of safety, by achieving the lowest possible accident rate and always improving safety, so all users of our aviation system can arrive safely at their destinations.

Respondents: 303 air carriers (62 Part 121 air carriers and 241 part 135 air carriers).

Frequency: Monthly.

Estimated Average Burden per Response: Eight hours.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,424 hours.

Issued in Des Moines, WA. On June 24th, 2025.

William G. Young,

Aviation Safety Inspector, Flight Standards, Aircraft Maintenance Division, Commercial Aviation Group.
