plans to DOT and posting of these plans 

on airlines’ and airports’ Web sites. DOT 

requests that OMB authorize these new

of approval by OMB.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Blane A. Workie, Office of the General 

Counsel, Office of the Secretary, U.S. 

Department of Transportation, 1200 

New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, 

DC 20590, 202–366–9342 (Voice), 202–

individual. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

Modernization and Reform Act, which 

was signed into law on February 14, 

2012, requires U.S. carriers that operate 

scheduled passenger service or public 

charter service using any aircraft with a 

design capacity of 30 or more seats, and 

operators of large hub, medium hub, 

small hub, or non-hub U.S. airports to 

submit contingency plans for lengthy 

tarmac delays to the Secretary of 

Transportation for review and approval 

no later than May 14, 2012. The Act also 

requires each covered carrier and airport 

to ensure public access to its plan after 

DOT approval by posting the plan on its 

Web site. The Department notes that 

these information collection 

requirements are specifically required 

by statute and are not being imposed as 

an exercise of the Department’s 

discretion. The Department seeks OMB 

approval for the submission and posting 

of these plans under the PRA emergency 

clearance process because use of the 

normal clearance procedures is 

reasonably likely to cause the May 14 

statutory deadline for submission of 

plans to be missed. The Department has 

established a Web address for the filing 

of contingency plans to enable covered 

U.S. airlines and airports to easily 

submit their required plans through the 

World Wide Web. Once OMB approves 

this information collection, the 

Department intends to issue a notice 

that provides information on how 

covered U.S. carriers and airports can 

submit the required plans to the 

Department through the World Wide 

Web. 

A Federal agency generally cannot 

conduct or sponsor a collection of 

information, and the public is generally 

not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information if the 

collection of information does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

This notice addresses two new 

information collection requirements 

concerning tarmac delays as a result of 

the FAA Modernization and Reform 

Act. For each of these information 

collections, the title, a description of the 

respondents, and an estimate of the 

annual recordkeeping and periodic 

reporting burden are set forth below: 

1. Requirement to submit tarmac 

delay plan to DOT for review and 

approval.

We invite comments on (a) whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; we note that these 

information collection requirements are 

specifically required by statute; (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 to be collected; and (d) 

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. 

As noted above, the Department intends 

to provide a portal for electronic 

submission of the required information. 

All comments will also become a matter 

of public record.
