-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.) this notice announces the request for clearance of an
information collection activity will be forwarded to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). This information collection activity is
currently part of another approved collection and cleared under OMB
number 2120-0033. The request to OMB is to separate this collection out
of 2120-0033 and give it its own number.
DATES: Comments should be submitted by October 25, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Comments on this collection may be mailed or delivered in
duplicate to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Judith Street,
Federal Aviation Administration, Corporate Information Division, ABC-
100, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Judith Street at the above address or on (202) 267-9895.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA solicits comments on this collection
of information in order to: Evaluate the necessity of the collection;
the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden; the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and possible
ways to minimize the burden of the collection. 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.
Title: 2120-xxxx, Aviation Medical Examiner Program.
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.
Respondents: The respondents are an estimated 450 individuals
applying to become aviation medical examiners.
