vehicle owners and a free remedy. See 

49 U.S.C. 30118–20. That does not 

excuse ARC—the manufacturer and 

designer of the inflators—from 

complying with its own obligations 

under the Safety Act and regulations. 

To address the risk that additional 

vehicle occupants will be killed and 

injured from these rupturing inflators, 

the agency has made this initial 

determination that the subject hybrid, 

toroidal inflators designed by ARC and 

manufactured by ARC and Delphi from 

2000 through January 2018 are defective 

and pose an unreasonable risk of death 

or injury, and therefore should be 

recalled. 

Pursuant to the Safety Act, NHTSA 

may make a final decision ‘‘only after 

giving the manufacturer[s] an 

opportunity to present information, 

views, and arguments showing that 

there is no defect or noncompliance or 

that the defect does not affect motor 

vehicle safety. Any interested person 

also shall be given an opportunity to 

present information, views, and 

arguments.’’ 49 U.S.C. 30118(b)(1). If 

NHTSA makes a final decision that the 

subject inflators contain a safety defect, 

NHTSA will order ARC to comply with 

the obligation to file notice of the safety 

defect with the agency 18 and will order 

the vehicle manufacturers to carry out 

recalls by providing notice and a free 

remedy. See id. § 30118(b)(2). 

H. Public Meeting 

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(b)(1) and

October 5, 2023, in the West Atrium, 

U.S. Department of Transportation

Washington, DC, at which time ARC, 

the manufacturers that used the subject 

inflators in their vehicles, and other

Special Authorities Division–X44, 1200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2106–0005. 

Title: Public Charters, 14 CFR part 

380. 

Form Numbers: 4532, 4533, 4534, 

4535. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

Previously Approved Collection: The 

current OMB inventory has not 

changed. 

Abstract: 14 CFR part 380 establishes 

regulations embodying the Department’s 

terms and conditions for Public Charter 

operators to conduct air transportation 

using direct air carriers. Public Charter 

operators arrange transportation for 

groups of people on chartered aircraft. 

This arrangement is often less expensive 

for the travelers than individually 

buying a ticket. Part 380 exempts 

charter operators from certain 

provisions of the U.S. code in order that 

they may provide this service. A 

primary goal of part 380 is to seek 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 173 / Friday, September 8, 2023 / Notices 62147 

protection for the consumer. 

Accordingly, the rule stipulates that the 

charter operator must file evidence (a 

prospectus—consisting of OST Forms 

4532, 4533, 4534, 4535, and supporting 

financial documents) with the 

Department for each charter program 

certifying that it has entered into a 

binding contract with a direct air carrier 

to provide air transportation and that it 

has also entered into agreements with 

Department-approved financial 

institutions for the protection of charter 

participants’ funds. The prospectus 

must be accepted by the Department 

prior to the operator’s advertising, 

selling or operating the charter. If the 

prospectus information were not 

collected it would be extremely difficult 

to assure compliance with agency rules 

and to assure that public security and 

other consumer protection requirements 

were in place for the traveling public. 

The information collected is available 

for public inspection (unless the 

respondent specifically requests 

confidential treatment). Part 380 does 

not provide any assurances of 

confidentiality. 

Burden Statement: Completion of all 

forms in a prospectus can be 

accomplished in approximately two 

hours (30 minutes per form) for new 

filers and one hour for amendments 

(existing filings). The forms are 

simplified and request only basic 

information about the proposed 

programs and the private sector filer. 

The respondent can submit a filing to 

operate for up to one year and include 

as many flights as desired, in most 

cases. If an operator chooses to make 

changes to a previously approved 

charter operation, then the operator is 

required by regulations to file revisions 

to its original prospectus. 

Respondents: Private Sector: Air 

carriers; tour operators; the general 

public (including groups and 

individuals, corporations and 

Universities or Colleges, etc.). 

Number of Respondents: 245. 

Number of Responses: 1,782. 

Total Annual Burden: 891. 

Frequency of Responses: 

245 (respondents) × 4 = 980 

401 (amendments from the same 

respondents) × 2 = 802 

Total estimated responses: 980 + 802 = 

1,782 

The frequency of response is 

dependent upon whether the operator is 

requesting a new program or amending 

an existing prospectus. Variations occur 

due to the respondents’ criteria. On 

average four responses (forms 4532, 

4533, 4534 and/or 4535) are required for 

filing new prospectuses and two of the 

responses (forms) are required for 

amendments. The separate hour burden 

estimate is as follows: 

Total Annual Burden: 891 hours. 

Approximately 1,782 (responses) × 0.50 

(per form) = 891 

Public Comments Invited: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility 

and clarity of the information collection; 

and (d) ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on 

respondents, by the use of electronic 

means, including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. All responses 

to this notice will be summarized and 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. All comments will also 

become a matter of public record. 

A Federal Register Notice with a 60- 

day comment period on the information 

collection was published on April 21, 

2023 (88 FR 24659).
