SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2106–0030. 

Title: Aircraft Accident Liability 

Insurance. 

Form Numbers: OST Forms 6410 and 

6411. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Background: 49 U.S.C. 41112 

provides that an air carrier may not be 

issued or continue to hold air carrier 

authority unless it has filed with DOT 

evidence that it possesses insurance in 

accordance with DOT regulations. 14 

CFR Part 205 establishes procedures for 

filing evidence of liability insurance for 

air carriers, and contains the minimum 

requirements for air carrier accident 

liability insurance to protect the public 

from losses. This insurance information 

is submitted to DOT using OST Form 

6410 (U.S. air carriers) or OST Form 

6411 (foreign air carriers). 

Currently, OST Forms 6410 and 6411 

are electronically available to the 

public; however, they cannot be filled 

out electronically. DOT is proposing to 

amend these forms so that they can be 

filled out electronically and saved for 

future amendments. However, these 

amended forms will still require original 

signatures and may not be filed 

electronically with DOT. By using 

fillable forms, DOT expects that most 

respondents will reduce their response 

times by half. 

Approximately 5,308 air carriers 

(4,604 U.S. and 704 foreign) are 

registered with DOT. Generally, air 

carriers file insurance certificates 

annually, coinciding with the term of 

their insurance policy. However, 

approximately one in three of these 

respondents will amend their insurance 

certificates during the course of the 

year, usually to add or remove covered 

aircraft. Thus, DOT expects 7,059 

responses to be filed each year (6,123 

U.S. and 936 foreign). 

Further, DOT expects 95 percent of 

the responses (6,706 responses) to be 

completed using the fillable form, 

which requires 15 minutes to complete, 

and 5 percent of the responses (353 

responses) to be completed manually 

requiring 30 minutes, for a total of 1,854 

burden hours. 

Respondents: U.S. and foreign air 

carriers. 

Number of Respondents: 5,308. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Number of Responses: 7,059. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,854 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 

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. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended; 

and 49 CFR 1:48.
