SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Reporting Requirements for Disability-Related Complaints
    OMB Control Number: 2105-0551
    Type of Request: Renewal of Information Collection Request
    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 disability-related complaints received by 
carriers during calendar year 2004, which was due to the Department on 
January 31, 2005. Carriers have been required to submit all subsequent 
reports on the last Monday in January for the prior calendar year.
    Respondents: Certificated U.S. and foreign air carriers operating 
to, from, and within the United States that conduct passenger-carrying 
service with at least one large aircraft.
