3The Final Rule to Amend Rules Requiring 

Reporting of Mishandled Baggage, Regulatory 

Impact Analysis, October 18, 2016, estimated a data 

entry burden of 5 seconds per wheelchair or scooter 

recorded manually. See Docket No. RITA–2011– 

0001–0287. 

wheelchairs and scooters information 

for flights they operate × 10 hours per 

response × 12 months = 2,040 hours) + 

(4 air carriers reporting the mishandled 

baggage and mishandled wheelchairs 

and scooters information for flights 

operated by their branded codeshare 

partners × 16 hours per response × 12 

months = 768 hours) + (.00138 hours for 

manual data entry related to wheelchair 

or scooters × 12,000 manual entries = 17 

hours). This estimate is based on the 

following information: 17 carriers 

reported mishandled baggage and 

wheelchair and scooter information to 

DOT in calendar years 2019, 2020, and 

2021. Currently, 4 carriers report 

mishandled baggage and wheelchair and 

scooter information to DOT for their 

codeshare operations. 

DOT estimates that respondents will 

encounter on average 10-hours burden 

per month to report the mishandled 

baggage and wheelchair and scooter 

data to DOT for the flights they operate. 

DOT estimates that respondents that 

market codeshare flights will encounter 

on average an additional burden of 16 

hours per month to report the 

mishandled baggage and wheelchair and 

scooter data to DOT for their branded 

codeshare operations. The burden 

estimates include staff time to manage 

and process the data and to submit the 

report through DOT’s electronic 

submission system. 

In addition, the estimated total annual 

burden is based on the assumption that 

most respondents employ automated 

processes to record that an item 

enplaned is a wheelchair or scooter, for 

the purposes of reporting data on 

wheelchairs and scooters to DOT. For a 

carrier that manually records this 

information, such as by having their 

agent type information describing a 

wheelchair or scooter into the airline’s 

system, DOT estimates that the airline 

would spend approximately 5 seconds 

(.00138 hours) per item to manually 

enter the data.3 DOT estimates that 

12,000 wheelchairs and scooters total 

are recorded manually per year. 

Administrative Issues 

The Confidential Information 

Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act 

of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501) requires a 

statistical agency to clearly identify 

information it collects for non-statistical 

purposes. BTS hereby notifies the 

respondents and the public that BTS 

uses the information it collects under 

this OMB approval for non-statistical 

purposes including, but not limited to, 

publication of both respondent’s 

identity and its data, submission of the 

information to agencies outside BTS for 

review, analysis and possible use in 

regulatory and other administrative 

matters. 

Public Comments Invited 

You are invited to comment on any 

aspect of this information collection, 

including: (a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of DOT, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

DOT’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and, (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents. 

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 on 

the docket.
