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. 

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. 

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 

protection for the consumer. 

Accordingly, the rule stipulates that the 

charter operator must file evidence (a 

prospectus—consisting of OST Forms 

4532, 4533, 4534 and 4535) 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 approved 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. The operator is then required by 

regulations to file revisions to its 

original prospectus. 

Number of Respondents: 245. 

Number of Responses: 1,782. 

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 

dependant 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. 

Approximately 1,782 (responses) × 0.50 

(per form) = 891. 

Comments Are Invited on: (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)

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 68 / Monday, April 9, 2012 / Notices 21145 

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 the notice will be summarized and 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. All comments will also 

become a matter of public record.
