SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2105–0551. 

Title: Reporting Requirements for 

Disability-Related Complaints. 

Type of Request: Renewal of 

information collections. 

Background: On July 8, 2003, the 

Office of the Secretary published a final 

rule that requires most certificated U.S. 

and foreign air carriers operating to, 

from and within the U.S. that conduct 

passenger-carrying service utilizing at 

least one large aircraft to record 

complaints that they receive alleging 

inadequate accessibility or 

discrimination on the basis of disability. 

The carriers must also categorize these 

complaints according to the type of 

disability and nature of complaint, 

prepare a summary report annually of 

the complaints received during the 

preceding calendar year, submit the 

report to the Department’s Aviation 

Consumer Protection Division, and 

retain copies of correspondence and 

records of action taken on the reported 

complaints for three years. The rule 

requires carriers to submit their annual 

report via the World Wide Web except 

if the carrier can demonstrate an undue 

burden by doing so and receives 

permission from the Department to 

submit it in an alternative manner. The 

first required report covered disabilityrelated complaints received by carriers 

during calendar year 2004, was due to 

the Department on January 31, 2005. 

Carriers have since submitted 

subsequent reports by the last Monday 

in January for the prior calendar year. 

The title, a description of the 

information collection and respondents, 

and the periodic reporting burden are 

set forth below for each of the 

information collected. 

(1) Requirement to record and 

categorize complaints received. 

Respondents: Certificated U.S. air 

carriers and foreign air carriers 

operating to and from the United States 

that conduct passenger-carrying service 

with at least one large aircraft. 

Number of Respondents: 177 (an 

average of the total number of 

respondents that reported over the past 

three years). 

Estimated Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 0–1,611 hours (96,660 

minutes) a year for each respondent 

(estimated time to record and categorize 

each complaint (15 minutes) multiplied 

by the lowest number of complaints and 

the average of the highest number of 

complaints received per respondent 

over the past three years (0–6,444 

complaints). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

8,148 hours (488,880 minutes) for all 

respondents (time to record and 

categorize each complaint (15 minutes) 

multiplied by the average total number 

of complaints received over the past 

three years (32,591) for all respondents). 

Frequency: 0–6,444 complaints (a 

range of the lowest number of 

complaints and an average of the 

highest number of complaints received 

over the past three years). 

(2) Requirement to prepare and 

submit annual report. 

Respondents: Certificated U.S. air 

carriers and foreign air carriers 

operating to and from the United States 

that conduct passenger-carrying service 

with at least one large aircraft. 

Number of Respondents: 177 (an 

average of the total number of 

respondents that reported over the past 

three years). 

Estimated Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 30 minutes a year per 

each respondent. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 88.5 

hours (5,310 minutes) for all 

respondents (estimated annual burden 

[30 minutes] multiplied by the total 

number of respondents). 

Frequency: 1 report to DOT per year 

for each respondent. 

(3) Requirement to retain 

correspondences and records of action 

taken on all disability-related 

complaints. 

Respondents: Certificated U.S. air 

carriers and foreign air carriers 

operating to and from the United States 

that conduct passenger-carrying service 

with at least one large aircraft. 

Number of Respondents: 177 (an 

average of the total number of 

respondents that reported over the past 

three years). 

Estimated Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 0–537 hours (0–32,220 

minutes) for each respondent (the 

estimated time it will take for each 

respondent to retain or save the 

correspondences and records of action 

taken on disability-related complaints (5 

minutes) multiplied by the lowest 

number of complaints and the average 

highest number of complaints received 

per respondent over the past three years 

(0–6,444)). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

2,716 hours (162,955 minutes) for all 

respondents (the estimated time it will 

take for each respondent to retain or 

save the correspondences and records of 

action taken on disability-related 

complaints (5 minutes) multiplied by 

the average total number of complaints 

received over the past three years 

(32,591) for all respondents).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bank 

Secrecy Act (‘‘BSA’’), Titles I and II of 

Public Law 91–508, as amended, 

codified at 12 U.S.C. 1829(b), 12 U.S.C. 

1951–1959, and 31 U.S.C. 5311–5314 

and 5316–5332, authorizes the Secretary 

of the Treasury, among other things, to 

require financial institutions to keep 

records and file reports that are 

determined to have a high degree of 

usefulness in criminal, tax, and 

regulatory matters or in the conduct of 

intelligence or counter-intelligence 

activities to protect against international 

terrorism, and to implement countermoney laundering programs and 

compliance procedures.1 Title III of the 

USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, Pub. L. 

107–56, included certain amendments 

to the anti-money laundering provisions 

of Title II of the BSA, 31 U.S.C. 5311 et 

seq., which are intended to aid in the 

prevention, detection, and prosecution 

of international money laundering and 

terrorist financing. 

Regulations implementing Title II of 

the BSA appear at 31 CFR Chapter X. 

The authority of the Secretary of the 

Treasury to administer Title II of the 

BSA has been delegated to the Director 

of FinCEN. The information collected 

and retained under the regulation 

addressed in this notice assist Federal, 

state, and local law enforcement as well 

as regulatory authorities in the 

identification, investigation, and 

prosecution of money laundering and 

other matters. 

Under 31 U.S.C. 5314, the Secretary is 

authorized to require any ‘‘resident or 

citizen of the United States or a person 

in, and doing business in, the United 

States, to . . . keep records and file 

reports, when the resident, citizen, or 

person makes a transaction or maintains 

a relation for any person with a foreign 

financial agency.’’ The term ‘‘foreign 

financial agency’’ encompasses the 

activities found in the statutory 

definition of ‘‘financial agency,’’ 2 which 

means, in pertinent part, ‘‘a person 

acting for a person as a financial 

institution, bailee, depository trustee, or 

agent, or acting in a similar way related 

to money, credit, securities, gold, or a 

transaction in money, credit, securities, 

or gold.’’ 3 The Secretary is also 

authorized to prescribe exemptions to 

the reporting requirement and to 

prescribe other matters the Secretary 

considers necessary to carry out section 

5314. 

Pursuant to the authority in section 

5314, 31 CFR 1010.350 generally 

requires each U.S. person having a 

financial interest in, or signature or 

other authority over, a bank, securities, 

or other financial account in a foreign 

country to report such relationship to 

the Commissioner of Internal Revenue 

for each year in which such relationship 

exists, and to provide and report such 

information specified in a reporting 

form prescribed under 31 U.S.C. 5314. 

Section 1010.350 provides certain 

exceptions from reporting. FinCEN 

Form 114 (the FBAR) is the form used 

to file the required information. The 

recordkeeping requirements associated 

with foreign financial accounts required 

to be reported under section 1010.350 

are set forth in 31 CFR 1010.420. 

Specifically, filers must retain records of 

such accounts for a period of 5 years 

and make the records available for 

inspection as authorized by law.4

of the PRA and its implementing 

regulations, the following information is 

presented concerning the information
