[Docket No. 2024–0217] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of Renewed Approval of 

Information Collection: Air Taxi and 

Commercial Operator Airport Activity 

Survey 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval renew information collection. 

The collection involves requesting that 

small on-demand operators voluntarily 

provide the number of revenue 

passengers that boarded their aircraft at 

each airport annually. This information 

is used in determining an airport’s 

category and eligibility for federal 

funding on an annual basis. It is not 

available through any other federal data 

source. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by March 26, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Please send written 

comments: 

By Electronic Docket: 

www.regulations.gov (Enter docket 

number into search field). 

By mail: Luis Loarte, FAA, 800 

Independence Avenue SW, Washington, 

DC 20591. 

By fax: 202–267–5257. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis 

Loarte by email at: Luis.Loarte@faa.gov; 

phone: 202–267–9622. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information collection; and (d) 

ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information. The agency 

will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0067. 

Title: Air Taxi and Commercial 

Operator Airport Activity Survey. 

Form Numbers: FAA Form 1800–31. 

Type of Review: Clearance of a 

renewal of an information collection. 

Background: The data collected 

through this survey is the only source of 

data for charter and nonscheduled 

passenger data part 135 operator (air 

taxis). The data received on the form 

(either paper or signed electronic copy) 

is then incorporated into the Air Carrier 

Activity Information System which is 

used to determine whether an airport is 

eligible for Airport Improvement 

Program funds and for calculating 

primary airport sponsor apportionment 

as specified by title 49 United Stated 

Code (U.S.C.), section 47114. The data 

collected on the form includes 

passenger enplanements by carrier and 

by airport. Passengers traveling on air 

taxis would be overlooked entirely if 

this passenger survey were not 

conducted. As a result, many airports 

would not receive their fair share of 

funds since there is currently no other 

source for this type of charter activity. 

On average, approximately 70 operators 

respond each year, reporting a total 1 

million passengers. This data is 

important to those airports that struggle 

to meet the 2,500 and 10,000 passenger 

levels and could not do so without the 

reporting of the charter passengers. 

Respondents: A cover letter and 

instructions are sent through the United 

Parcel Service. The cover letter and 

instructions provide the carriers with 

the Airports External Portal (faa.gov) 

(AEP) site and the password for the 

voluntary Airport Activity Survey form. 

The cover letter and password for the 

Airport Activity Survey form is sent to 

approximately 150 small on-demand 

operators (certificated under Federal 

Aviation Regulation Part 135) that have 

reported activity in the last three years. 

The form is also available on the FAA 

website. We allowed electronic 

submittals of the voluntary survey 

beginning with calendar year 2020 data. 

Operators can electronically access the 

form, sign, and submit to the FAA. The 

Airports External Portal is used by 

airports in the National Plan of 

Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS).
