Title: Airline Service Quality

Performance.

OMB Control Number: 2138–0041.

Type of Request: Extension of a

Currently Approved Collection.

Form No.: None.

Affected Entities: Large domestic

passenger air carriers—Alaska Airlines,

America West Airlines, American

Airlines, Continental Air Lines, Delta

Air Lines, Northwest Airlines,

Southwest Airlines, Trans World

Airlines, United Air Lines, US Airways.

Abstract: Since Part 234 has been

effective, carriers’ quality of service has

improved, resulting in a decrease in the

number of consumer complaints. The

Department discloses the carriers’ ontime performances and mishandled

baggage information to the public.

Airline passengers are now more

informed to make carrier selections

based on the quality of service provided.

Aircraft tail number, wheels-up and

wheels-down time gives the FAA

valuable data for pinpointing and

analyzing air traffic delays. Wheels-up

and wheels-down time are used in

conjunction with departure and arrival

times to show the extent of ground

delays. Elapsed flight time (computed

from the wheels-up time and the

wheels-down time) reveals delays

experienced in the air. The reporting of

the aircraft tail number allows the FAA

to track an aircraft through the air

network, which enables the FAA to

study the ripple effects of delays at hub

airports. Data by aircraft type allows the

FAA to calculate the capacity impacted

by air traffic congestion. The data can be

analyzed for airport design changes,

new equipment purchases, the planning

of new runways or airports based on

current and projected airport delays,

and traffic levels.

Estimated Annual Burden Hours:

1,440 hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Office of Management and

Budget, 725—17th Street, NW,

Washington, DC 20503, ATTN: DOT/

BTS Desk Officer. Comments are invited

on: whether the proposed collections of

information are 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

estimates of the burden of the proposed

information collections; ways to

enhance the quality, utility and clarity

of the information to be collected; and

ways to minimize the burden of the

collections of information on

respondents, including the use of

automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

A comment to OMB is best assured of

having its full effect when OMB receives

it within 30 days of publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA)

Title: 1998 Motor Vehicle Occupant

Safety Survey.

OMB Control Number: 2127—New.

Type of Request: New collection.

Form(s): DTHH22–98–R–05080.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Abstract: NHTSA proposes to conduct

a 1998 Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety

Survey by telephone among a national

probability sample of 8,000 adults (age

16 and older). Participation by

respondents would be voluntary.

NHTSA’s information needs require seat

belt and child safety seat sections too

large to merge into a single survey

instrument without producing an

inordinate burden on respondents.

Rather than reduce these sections, the

proposed survey instrument would be

divided into two series of modules.

Each module would be administered to

one-half the total number of subjects to

be interviewed. Module Series #1 of the

questionnaire would focus on seat belts

and include smaller sections on air bags,

motorcyclist safety, and general driving

(including speed). Module Series #2

would focus on child safety seats,

accompanied by smaller sections on

bicyclist safety and Emergency Medical

Services. Both series would contain

sections on crash injury experience, and

on drinking and driving because of the

extensive impact of alcohol on the

highway safety problem. Some basic

seat belt questions contained in Module

Series #1 would be duplicated on

Module Series #2. In conducting the

proposed survey, the interviewers

would use computer-assisted telephone

interviewing to reduce interview length

and minimize recording errors. A

Spanish-language translation and

bilingual interviewers would be used to

minimize language barriers to

participation. The proposed survey

would be anonymous and confidential.

Description of the Need for the

Information and Proposed Use of the

Information—The National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

was established to reduce the mounting

number of deaths, injuries and

economic losses resulting from motor

vehicle crashes on the Nation’s

highways. As part of this statutory

mandate, NHTSA is authorized to

conduct research as a foundation for the

development of motor vehicle standards

and traffic safety programs.
