award to consider applying for TIFIA 

credit assistance. 

Projects for which a MPDG 

application receives a Highly 

Recommended rating, as described in 

Section E, but that are not awarded, are 

automatically designated MPDG Extra 

Projects, unless the Department 

determines that they are not reasonably 

likely to satisfy the TIFIA project type 

(23 U.S.C. 601(a)(12)) and project size 

(23 U.S.C. 602(a)(5)) eligibilities. This 

designation provides the sponsors of 

these projects the opportunity to apply 

for TIFIA credit assistance for up to 

49% of eligible project costs. Under 

current policy, TIFIA credit assistance is 

limited to 33% of eligible project costs 

unless the applicant provides strong 

rationale for requiring additional 

assistance. 

Projects designated as MPDG Extra 

Projects will be announced by the 

Secretary after MPDG award 

announcements are made. 

For further information about the 

TIFIA program in general, including 

details about the types of credit 

assistance available, eligibility 

requirements and the creditworthiness 

review process, please refer to the Build 

America Bureau Credit Programs Guide, 

available on the Build America Bureau 

website: https://www.transportation.gov

/buildamerica/financing/programguide. 

Disclaimer: A MPDG Extra Project 

designation does not guarantee that an 

applicant will receive TIFIA credit 

assistance, nor does it guarantee that 

any award of TIFIA credit assistance 

will be equal to 49% of eligible project 

costs. Receipt of TIFIA credit assistance 

is contingent on the applicant’s ability 

to satisfy applicable creditworthiness 

standards and other Federal 

requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Approval No.: 2138–0006. 

Title: Preservation of Air Carrier 

Records—14 CFR part 249. 

Form No.: None. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement of an 

expired recordkeeping requirement. 

Respondents: Certificated air carriers 

and charter operators. 

Number of Respondents: 89 

certificated air carriers, 280 charter 

operators. 

Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours 

per certificated air carrier, 1 hour per 

charter operator. 

Total Annual Burden: 547 hours. 

Needs and Uses: Part 249 requires the 

retention of records such as: General 

and subsidiary ledgers, journals and 

journal vouchers, voucher distribution 

registers, accounts receivable and 

payable journals and ledgers, subsidy 

records documenting underlying 

financial and statistical reports to DOT, 

funds reports, consumer records, sales 

reports, auditors’ and flight coupons, air 

waybills, etc. Depending on the nature 

of the document, the carrier may be 

required to retain the document for a 

period of 30 days to three years. Public 

charter operators and overseas military 

personnel charter operators must retain 

documents which evidence or reflect 

deposits made by each charter 

participant and commissions received 

by, paid to, or deducted by travel agents, 

and all statements, invoices, bills and 

receipts from suppliers or furnishers of 

goods and services in connection with 

the tour or charter. These records are 

retained for six months after completion 

of the charter program. 

Not only is it imperative that carriers 

and charter operators retain source 

documentation, but it is critical that 

DOT has access to these records. Given 

DOT’s established information needs for 

such reports, the underlying support 

documentation must be retained for a 

reasonable period of time. Absent the 

retention requirements, the support for 

such reports may or may not exist for 

audit/validation purposes and the 

relevance and usefulness of the carrier 

submissions would be impaired, since

this Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approval for non-statistical

information to agencies outside BTS for 

review, analysis and possible use in 

regulatory and other administrative 

matters.

Title: Tax on Accumulation

OMB Number: 1545–0192. 

Project Number: Form 4970. 

Abstract: Internal Revenue Code 667 

requires a tax to be paid by a beneficiary

is used to compute the tax adjustment 

attributable to an accumulation 

distribution and to verify whether the 

correct tax has been paid on the

The following paragraph applies to all 

the collections of information covered 

by this notice: 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a valid OMB control number. 

Books or records relating to a 

collection of information must be 

retained if their contents may become 

material in the administration of any 

internal revenue law. Generally, tax 

returns and tax return information are 

confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 

6103. 

Desired Focus of Comments: The 

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including using 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., by 

permitting electronic submissions of 

responses. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the ICR for OMB approval 

of the extension of the information 

collection; they will also become a 

matter of public record. 

Approved: March 17, 2022.
