ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice

announces that the Information

Collection Request abstracted below has

been forwarded to the Office of

Management and Budget for extension

of currently approved collections. The

ICR describes the nature of the

information collection and its expected

burden. The Federal Register Notice

with a 60-day comment period soliciting

comments on the following collection of

information was published on January

5, 2000 [65 FR 554–555].

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before June 9, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Bureau of Transportation Statistics

Title: Report of Extension to Political

Candidates.

Type of Request: Extension of a

currently approved Collection.

OMB Control Number: 2138–0016.

Form(s): BTS Form 183.

Affected Public: Certificated air

carriers.

Abstract: An air carrier must submit

monthly reports to the Department

when the indebtedness for

transportation furnished to a candidate,

running for Federal office, or to persons

acting on behalf of such candidates,

exceeds $5,000 on the last day of a

month during the 6 months before an

election or nomination. After that

period, the air carrier shall file such a

report with the Office of Airline

Information not later than the 20th day

following the end of the calendar month

in which the election or nomination

takes place and thereafter when any

change occurs in that report, until a

negative report is filed. For Form 183

purposes, a ‘‘negative report’’ is one that

indicates an indebtedness of $5,000 or

less.

These disclosures have tended to

reduce the lag time between when

transportation is furnished to political

candidates and when it is paid. In the

past, such lag time resulted in

substantial balances in accounts

receivable to some air carriers. This led

Congress to enact the Federal Election

Campaign Act.

When there are carriers submitting

Form 183, the Office of Airline

Information compiles a monthly report

identifying unpaid balances due air

carriers from political candidates and

sends the report to the Federal Election

Commission.

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 24.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Office of Management and

Budget, 725–17th Street, NW.,

Washington, DC 20503, Attention BTS

Desk Officer.

Comments are Invited on: whether the

proposed collection of information is

necessary for the proper performance of

the functions of the Department,

including whether the information will

have practical utility; the accuracy of

the Department’s estimate of the burden

of the proposed information collection;

ways to enhance the quality, utility and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on respondents, including the use of

automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

A comment to OMB is most effective if

OMB receives it within 30 days of

publication.
