DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Office of the Secretary 

[OST Docket No. 2012–0028] 

Notice of Submission of Proposed 

Information Collection to OMB 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, as 

amended, this notice announces the 

Department of Transportation’s (DOT) 

Office of Aviation Consumer 

Protection’s (OACP) intention to request 

the reinstatement of an Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number for the collection of emergency 

contingency plans for tarmac delays 

from U.S. carriers and U.S. airports as 

required by the FAA Modernization and 

Reform Act. On February 23, 2017, OMB 

issued a DOT control number 2105– 

0566 authorizing these collections of 

information related to the submission by 

U.S. carriers and U.S. airports of tarmac 

delay contingency plans for review and 

approval by the DOT, as well as the 

public posting of those plans. The 

control number expired on February 29, 

2020. 

DATES: Comments on this notice must be 

received by April 12, 2024. Interested 

persons are invited to submit comments 

regarding this proposal.

1OACP is modernizing its consumer complaints 

database to provide a more efficient means for air 

carriers and airports to submit their plans. Should 

the submission process change prior to the date 

plans are due, OACP will give covered entities 

advance notice of the revised procedure for plan 

submission. 

2We note that the information collection 

requirements are specifically required by statute 

and are not imposed as an exercise of the DOT’s 

discretion. 

3Based on FAA CY22 information, there are 31 

large, 33 medium, 73 small, and 254 non-hub 

covered airports. See, https://www.faa.gov/sites/ 

faa.gov/files/2023-09/cy22-commercial-serviceenplanements.pdf. 

4The number of covered airlines was calculated 

using current data provided to OACP by the Bureau 

of Transportation Statistics (BTS). 

5The total number of airports required to submit 

plans has decreased from 401 to 391 (-10 airports). 

The burden is calculated with the assumption that 

no new airports need to submit a plan. However, 

if there are any new airports that are required to 

submit a plan, the burden estimate for such an 

airport would be two hours. 

6Based on CY 2022 information provided by the 

Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), the 

number of covered carriers that must submit plans 

increased from 65 to 76 (+11 carriers). As such, the 

estimated burden for U.S. carriers has slightly 

increased.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

Modernization and Reform Act (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 emergency 

contingency plans for lengthy tarmac 

delays to the Secretary of Transportation 

for review and approval. In addition to 

requiring the initial submission of 

emergency contingency plans, the Act 

requires U.S. air carriers to submit an 

updated plan every 3 years and U.S. 

airport operators to submit an updated 

plan every 5 years. The Act further 

requires each covered carrier and airport 

to ensure public access to its plan after 

DOT approval by posting the plan on its 

website. 

DOT has an online system allowing 

covered U.S. air carriers and U.S. 

airports to submit plans online.1 On 

June 2, 2015, DOT published a 60-day 

FR Notice to renew/reinstate the OMB 

control number (80 FR 31455) and on 

June 17, 2016, a 30-day FR notice was 

published (81 FR 39750). On February 

23, 2017, OMB reinstated the OMB 

control number, which expired on 

February 29, 2020. DOT is issuing this 

60-day notice to reinstate the OMB

control number.2

The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA) and its implementing regulations, 

5 CFR part 1320, require Federal 

agencies to issue two notices, a 60-day 

notice followed by a 30-day notice, 

seeking public comment on information 

collection activities before OMB may 

approve paperwork packages. 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 monetary 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. 

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 contingency plan to DOT for 

review and approval. 

Title: Filing of Tarmac Delay 

Contingency Plan to DOT. 

Respondents: Each large, medium, 

small and non-hub airport in the U.S.; 

U.S. carriers that operate scheduled 

passenger service or public charter 

service using any aircraft with a design 

capacity of 30 or more seats. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

391 U.S. airports 3 and 76 U.S. airlines.4

Frequency: Every 5 years for covered 

U.S. airports; every 3 years for covered 

U.S. airlines. 

Estimated Total Burden on 

Respondents: 

For U.S. airports—195.5 hours (391 

existing airports × .5 hours = 195.5 

hours). This estimate is based on the 

following facts/assumptions: Tarmac 

delay plans for submission are general 

in nature and do not consist of extensive 

airport-specific customization. Airport 

associations prepared templates for use 

by U.S. airports which require very little 

additional information to be customized 

for individual airports and have been 

the templates for most of the airport 

plans submitted. For U.S. airports that 

have already prepared and submitted a 

plan and will continue to be subject to 

this requirement, they will need to 

review and update the plan through the 

DOT’s electronic submission system. 

We estimate .5 hour for these 391 

airports to review, update, and submit 

the plan through the DOT’s electronic 

submission system.5

For U.S. airlines—54.5 hours [(65 

existing carriers × .5 hours = 32.5 hours) 

+ (11 new carrier × 2 hours = 22 hours)

= 54.5 hours]. Although airlines often

choose to prepare more detailed plans

for internal use, airline plans for

submission generally are not very

detailed and provide only the level of

information required to meet the

statutory requirement. In addition,

currently operating U.S. carriers are

already required to have such plans in

place as this is a continuing requirement

and the statute has been in place since

2012. Therefore, we estimate that the 65

covered U.S. carriers will spend .5 hour

to review, update, and submit the plan

through the DOT’s electronic

submission system. For the 11 carriers

that had not prepared and submitted a

plan to meet the requirement in 2017,

we estimate 2 hours to review and

prepare the templates, and to submit the

plan through the DOT’s electronic

submission system.6

2. Requirement to ensure public

access to tarmac delay plan after DOT 

approval (as required by the Act). 

Title: Posting of Tarmac Delay 

Contingency Plan on websites. 

Respondents: Each large, medium, 

small and non-hub airport in the U.S.; 

U.S. carriers that operate scheduled 

passenger service or public charter 

service operating to or from the United 

States, using any aircraft with a design 

capacity of 30 or more seats. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

391 U.S. airports and 76 U.S. airlines. 

Estimated Total Frequency: Every 5 

years for covered U.S. airports; every 3 

years for covered U.S. airlines (if not 

already posted or if there are updates). 

Burden on Respondents: 116.75 hours 

[(391 airports × .25 hours = 97.75 hours) 

+ (76 airlines × .25 hours = 19 hours) =


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
9908 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 29 / Monday, February 12, 2024 / Notices 

116.75 hours]. We estimate that the time 

to upload a plan to a website is 15 

minutes as covered U.S. carriers and 

airports are already required to have 

such plans in place and plans are 

generally short and do not take long to 

upload. 

We invite comments on (a) whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the DOT, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

DOT’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. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record on 

the docket.
