the subsidy-eligible flights (which 

generally constitute only a small 

percentage of the carriers’ total 

operations) of a small number of air 

carriers. The collection permits the 

Department to timely pay air carriers for 

providing essential air service to certain 

eligible communities that would not 

otherwise receive scheduled passenger 

air service. The Department provides 

that subsidy to air carriers monthly, and 

payments will vary according to the 

actual amount of service performed 

during the monthly billing cycle. The 

reports of subsidized air carriers of 

essential air service are performed on 

the Department’s Form 398, ‘‘Air 

Carrier’s Claim for Subsidy.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2106–0044. 

Title: Air Carrier’s Claim for Subsidy. 

Form Numbers: OST Form 398. 

Type of Review: Renewal of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Background: In accordance with 14 

CFR 271 of its Aviation Economic 

Regulations, the Department provides 

subsidy to air carriers for providing 

essential air service in small rural 

communities. Funding will be paid to 

the air carriers monthly and those 

payments will vary according to the 

actual amount of service performed 

during the month. The report of 

subsidized air carriers of essential air 

service performed on the Department’s 

Form 398 ‘‘Air Carrier’s Claim for 

Subsidy,’’ establishes the fundamental 

basis for paying these air carriers on a 

timely basis. Typically, subsidized air 

carriers are small businesses and 

operate only aircraft of limited size over 

a limited geographical area. The 

collection permits subsidized air 

carriers to submit their monthly claims 

in a concise, orderly, easy-to process 

form, without having to devise their 

own means of submitting support for 

these claims. 

Respondents: Small air carriers 

selected by the Department in docketed 

cases to provide subsidized essential air 

service. 

Number of Respondents: 24. 

Number of Responses: 1560 annually. 

Frequency: Monthly. 

Estimated Total Burden on 

Respondents: 5,413 annually. 

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 the 

Department’s performance; (b) the 

accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) 

ways for the Department 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.
