have practical utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of
the burden of the proposed information collections; ways to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collection activities
associated with the Representatives of the Administrator, CFR part 183,
including Aviation Medical Examiners, are currently cleared under OMB
number 2120-0033. For administrative ease, the FAA proposes to separate
the Aviation Medical Examiner clearance from the rest of the
Representatives of the Administrator. There is no change in the CFR
requirements. It is proposed that the Aviation Medical Examiner program
be given a separate OMB clearance number. At this time of

request for clearance, the Aviation Medical Examiner Designation
Application form, FAA form 8520-2 is being updated to include a few
additional boxes to check off. The additional information does not
constitute a significant increase in time to complete the form since it
would only involve one data element and check marks in the appropriate
boxes.
The additional data elements are as follows: A box to check off
whether the doctor is male or female. (This will be done to provide
that information to airmen and women who request a doctor of a specific
gender.) A space for social security number. (This is a voluntary
request.) An addition of more specialities in the medical specialty
category from which the applicant can choose. In the General
Information portion of the application, the addition of two questions
to check off a yes or no.

collection.

aviation medical examiners.
Abstract: This information is collected for the purpose of
obtaining essential information concerning the applicants' professional
and personal qualifications. The FAA uses the information provided to
screen and select the designees who serve as aviation medical
examiners. The information is also used to make a list of designated
aviation medical examiners readily available to the public.
Need: 14 CFR 183 implements the provisions of Title 49 U.S.C.,
section 44702.
