SUMMARY: In accordance with the

announces the intention of the 

Department of Transportation (DOT), 

OST, to request that the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approve the following collection: 

Exemptions for Air Taxi Operations, 

responsibility for which has been 

transferred from the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) to OST. The 

collection involves a classification of air 

carriers known as air taxi operators and 

their filing of a one-page form that 

enables them to obtain economic 

authority from DOT. The information to 

be collected is necessary for DOT to 

determine whether an air taxi operation 

meets DOT’s criteria for an economic 

authorization in accordance with DOT 

rules. We are required to publish this 

notice in the Federal Register by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13.

submitted by April 30, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2105–XXXX. 

Title: Exemptions for Air Taxi 

Operations. 

Form Number: OST Form 4507. 

Type of Review: New Information 

Collection. 

Background: Part 298 of Title 14 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations, 

Exemptions for Air Taxi Registration, 

establishes a classification of air carriers 

known as air taxi operators that offer ondemand passenger service. The 

regulation exempts these small 

operators from certain provisions of the 

Federal statue to permit them to obtain 

economic authority by filing a one-page, 

front and back, OST Form 4507, Air 

Taxi Operator Registration, and 

Amendments under Part 298 of DOT’s 

Regulations. 

Currently, OST Form 4507 is 

electronically available to the public; 

however, the form cannot be filled out 

electronically. DOT is proposing to 

amend this form so that it can be filled 

out electronically and saved for future 

amendments. However, this new fillable 

form will still require original signatures 

and may not be filed electronically. 

DOT expects to receive 200 new air 

taxi registrations and 2,200 amended air 

taxi registrations each year, resulting in 

2,400 total respondents. Further, DOT 

expects filers of new registrations to 

take 1 hour to complete the form, while 

it should only take 30 minutes to 

prepare amendments to the form. Thus, 

the total annual burden is expected to 

be 1,300 hours. 

Lastly, the information captured in 

OST Form 4507 is currently collected 

under OMB Control No. 2120–0633. The 

responsibility for this collection of 

information has been transferred from 

the FAA to OST; therefore, OST is 

requesting that OMB assign a new 

control number to this information 

collection. 

Respondents: U.S. air taxi operators. 

Number of Respondents: 2,400. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Number of Responses: 2,400. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,300 hours. 

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 DOT’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for DOT to
