SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice 

announces that the Information 

Collection Request (ICR) abstracted 

below is being forwarded to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) for

ADDRESSES: Send written comments on 

any or all of the following proposed 

activities, including the burden estimate

Secretary for Aviation and International 

Affairs, Office of the Secretary, U.S.

DC 20590, (202) 366–4834. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2105–0538. 

Title: Disclosure of Code Sharing 

Arrangements and Long-Term Wet 

Leases. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Change-of-gauge service is 

scheduled passenger air transportation 

for which the operating carrier uses one 

single flight number even though 

passengers do not travel in the same 

aircraft from origin to destination but 

must change planes at an intermediate 

stop. In addition to one-flight-to-oneflight change-of-gauge services, changeof-gauge services can also involve 

aircraft changes between multiple 

flights on one side of the change point 

and one single flight on the other side. 

As with one-for-one change-of-gauge 

services, the carrier assigns a single 

flight number for the passenger’s entire 

itinerary even though the passenger 

changes planes, but in addition, the 

single flight to or from the exchange 

point itself has multiple numbers, one 

for each segment with which it connects 

and one for the local market in which 

it operates. 

The Department recognizes various 

public benefits that can flow from 

change-of-gauge services, such as a 

lowered likelihood of missed 

connections. However, although changeof-gauge flights can offer valuable 

consumer benefits, they can be 

confusing and misleading unless 

consumers are given reasonable and 

timely notice that they will be required 

to change planes during their journey. 

Section 41712 of Title 49 of the U.S. 

code authorizes the Department to 

decide if a U.S. air carrier or foreign air 

carrier or ticket agent (including travel 

agents) has engaged in unfair or 

deceptive practices. Under this 

authority, the Department has adopted 

various regulations and policies to 

prevent unfair or deceptive practices or 

unfair methods of competition. The 

Department requires as a matter of 

policy that customers be given notice of 

aircraft changes for change-of-gauge 

flights. (See Department Order 89–1–31, 

page 5.) The Department proposed to 

adopt the extant regulations, however, 

because it was not convinced that these 

rules and policies resulted in effective 

disclosure all of the time. 

Respondents: All U.S. air carriers, 

foreign air carriers, computer 

reservations systems (CRSs), and travel 

agents doing business in the United 

States, and the traveling public. 

Number of Respondents: 16,000, 

excluding travelers. 

Frequency: At 15 seconds per call and 

an average of 1.5 calls per trip, a total 

of 22.5 seconds per respondent or 

traveler, for the approximately 33% of 

estimated change-of-gauge itineraries 

that involve personal contact. 

Total Annual Burden: Annual 

reporting burden for this data collection 

is estimated at 76,313 hours for all 

travel agents and airline ticket agents, 

based on 15 seconds per phone call and 

an average of 1.5 phone calls per trip, 

for the approximately 33% of estimated 

change-of-gauge itineraries that involve 

personal contact. Most of this data

Notice of Availability of the Final 

Environmental Assessment (EA) and 

Finding of No Significant Impact/ 

Record of Decision (FONSI/ROD) for 

the Aberdeen Regional Airport in 

Aberdeen, South Dakota 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Final 

EA and FONSI/ROD. 

SUMMARY: The FAA has issued the final 

EA final Environmental Assessment 

(EA) for the Aberdeen Regional Airport 

Updates and FONSI/ROD for the 

proposed decoupling of runways 13/31 

and 17/35 and fill on airport wetlands 

and associated actions for Aberdeen 

Regional Airport. The EA was prepared 

in accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended, FAA Orders 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ and FAA Order 5050.4B, 

‘‘NEPA Implementing Instructions for 

Airport Actions’’. 

Point of Contact: Mr. Al Fenedick, 

Environmental Protection Specialist, 

FAA Regional Office, Suite 315, 2300 

East Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 

60018, telephone number 847–294– 

7522. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

is issuing a final EA for the Aberdeen 

Regional Airport Updates and 

FONSVROD that evaluated the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed decoupling of Runways13/ 

31 and 17/35 and fill on airport 

wetlands actions at Aberdeen Regional 

Airport located in Aberdeen, South 

Dakota. Based on the analysis contained 

in the final EA, the FAA has determined 

the selected alternative has no 

associated significant impacts to 

resources identified in accordance with 

FAA Order I050.IE, Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures and 

FAA Order 5054.4B, National 

Environmental Policy Act Implementing 

Instructions for Airport Actions. 

Therefore, no environmental impact 

statement will be prepared. The 

proposed decoupling of runways 13/31 

and 17/35 and fill on airport wetlands 

project is needed to enhance the utility 

and safety of the Aberdeen Regional 

Airport for current and projected levels 

of aviation by the design aircraft family. 

Four alternatives were studied for 

meeting the purpose and need. Three of 

the four alternatives were reviewed, 

analyzed, discarded due to the degree of 

environmental impacts and not meeting 

purpose and need. A detailed 

discussion is in the V. Alternatives 

Discarded Section of the FONSVROD. 

The selected alternative is one of four 

considered in the final EA. The selected 

alternative consists of addressing the 

identified needs: Incompatible land use, 

non-standard runway configuration, and 

hazardous wildlife habitat. 

The selected alternative includes the: 

(I.) Unconditional approval of the 

Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for the 

development listed in the EA and the 

decision document. (2.) Issue final 

airspace determinations for the 

development listed on the ALP. (3.) 

Eligibility for Federal grants-in-aid 

funds for eligible items. (4.) Approval of 

design and use of air traffic procedures 

needed to implement the proposed 

action. (5.) FAA Finding of ‘‘No Historic 

Properties Affected’’ for the Proposed 

Action. (6.) FAA findings of ‘‘may affect, 

not likely to adversely affect’’ for the 

Topeka shiner and Whooping Crane 

endangered species. (7.) FAA Finding of 

‘‘No Impact’’ to floodplains. (8.) 

Wetland finding that there is no 

practicable alternatives to such 

construction and the proposed action 

includes all practicable measure to 

minimize harm to wetlands. (9.) 

Appropriate permits and mitigation will 

be needed before disbursing Federal 

funds. These documents will be 

available for public review during 

normal business hours at:
