submit a comment. The http:// 

www.regulations.gov Web site offers the 

option of providing comments by filling 

in a ‘‘Type Comment’’ field or by 

attaching a document using the ‘‘Upload 

File(s)’’ option. While both options are 

acceptable, USTR prefers submissions 

in the form of an attachment. If you 

attach a comment, it is sufficient to type 

‘‘see attached’’ in the comment section. 

Please do not attach separate cover 

letters to electronic submissions; rather, 

include any information that might 

appear in a cover letter in the comments 

themselves. Similarly, to the extent 

possible, please include any exhibits, 

annexes, or other attachments in the 

same file as the submission itself, not as 

separate files. (For further information 

on using the www.regulations.gov Web 

site, please consult the resources 

provided on the Web site by clicking on 

the ‘‘help’’ tab.) Submitters should 

provide updated information on all 

issues they cite in their filings; USTR 

will not review submissions that are 

copies of earlier submissions. 

Business Confidential Submissions 

For any comments submitted 

electronically containing business 

confidential information, the file name 

of the business confidential version 

should begin with the characters ‘‘BC’’. 

The top of any page containing business 

confidential information must be clearly 

marked ‘‘BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL’’. 

Any person filing comments that 

contain business confidential 

information must also file in a separate 

submission a public version of the 

comments. The file name of the public 

version of the comments should begin 

with the character ‘‘P’’. The ‘‘BC’’ and 

‘‘P’’ should be followed by the name of 

the person or entity submitting the 

comments. The submitter must include 

in the comments a written explanation 

of why the information should be 

protected. The submission must 

indicate, with asterisks, where 

confidential information was redacted 

or deleted. The top and bottom of each 

page of the non-confidential version 

must be marked either ‘‘PUBLIC 

VERSION’’ or ‘‘NON-CONFIDENTIAL’’. 

Public Inspection of Submissions 

Comments will be placed in the 

docket and open to public inspection, 

except confidential business 

information. Comments may be viewed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Exemptions for Air Taxi 

Operations. 

OMB Control Number: 2105–0565. 

Type of Request: Renewal of a 

Previously Approved Information 

Collection. 

Abstract: 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 statute 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. 

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. 

Affected Public: U.S. air taxi 

operators. 

Number of Respondents: 2,400. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Number of Responses: 2,400. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,300 hours. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding 

the burden estimate, including 

suggestions for reducing the burden, to 

the Office of Management and Budget, 

Attention: Desk Officer for the Office of 

the Secretary of Transportation, 725 

17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503. 

Comments are invited on: whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 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. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

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

and 49 CFR 1:48. 

Issued in Washington, DC on Monday, 

November 19, 2011.
