### 92939 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 244 / Tuesday, December 20, 2016 / Notices

1 Monarch states that VTT is a passenger carrier pursuant to MC–212649. ( See Appl. 3.) However, the record indicates that VTT holds a federally issued operating authority under MC–108204. ( See Appl., Ex. B, VTT Company Snapshot & Ex. C, VTT Licensing & Insurance.)

2 Applicants with gross operating revenues exceeding $2 million are required to meet the requirements of 49 CFR 1182.2(a)(5). Traxx Transportation Ltd. (Traxx), a passenger carrier operating in Western Canada and the Western United States (MC–215048). Royal, a noncarrier, owns and controls 100% of QCL, a passenger carrier operating between various points in southern British Columbia, Seattle, and SeaTac Airport (MC–205116). Royal also owns and controls 100% of VTT, a passenger carrier operating in western Canada, as well as the western United States (MC–108204). 1

Monarch states that, under the proposed transaction, QCL, VTT, and Traxx would be owned by 1997553 Alberta Ltd. (Alberta Ltd.), a noncarrier, of which Monarch would own 77.2% of the shares and Royal would own 22.8%. Monarch states that Alberta Ltd. would acquire 100% of the shares (including all of the assets, vehicles, and business operations) of QCL, VTT, and Traxx. Upon completion of the transaction, Monarch would (indirectly) control QCL and VTT and would continue to (indirectly) control Traxx through its control of Alberta Ltd. Under the transaction, Monarch states that the principals of Royal would be the principal managers of QCL, VTT, and Traxx, with the goals of increasing revenues through enhanced marketing, investment in new products, and selected strategic acquisitions and increasing profitability of all three carriers through operational improvements.

Under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), the Board must approve and authorize a transaction that it finds consistent with the public interest, taking into consideration at least: (1) The effect of the proposed transaction on the adequacy of transportation to the public; (2) the total fixed charges that result; and (3) the interest of affected carrier employees. Monarch has submitted the information required by 49 CFR 1182.2, including information to demonstrate that the proposed transaction is consistent with the public interest under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b) and a statement that the aggregate gross operating revenues of QCL and VTT exceeded $2 million for the preceding 12-month period. See 49 U.S.C. 14303(g). 2

Monarch asserts that the transaction would have no adverse impact on the adequacy of transportation services available to the public. Monarch states that Royal’s management team would continue to run the operations of QCL and VTT and that Monarch intends to continue the businesses of QCL, VTT, and Traxx essentially in the same manner in which they are now being conducted. Monarch states that the proposed transaction would have no effect on total fixed charges. Further, Monarch states that no employees would be adversely affected by the proposed transaction, as there would be no change in the day-to-day operations of QCL and VTT.

On the basis of the application, the Board finds that the proposed acquisition is consistent with the public interest and should be tentatively approved and authorized. If any opposing comments are timely filed, these findings will be deemed vacated, and, unless a final decision can be made on the record as developed, a procedural schedule will be adopted to reconsider the application. See 49 CFR 1182.6(c). If no opposing comments are filed by the expiration of the comment period, this notice will take effect automatically and will be the final Board action.

This action is categorically excluded from environmental review under 49 CFR 1105.6(c).

‘‘ WWW.STB.GOV .’’
It is ordered: 1. The proposed transaction is approved and authorized, subject to the filing of opposing comments.

2. If opposing comments are timely filed, the findings made in this notice will be deemed as having been vacated.

**DATES :**  Written comments should be submitted by January 19, 2017.

**ADDRESSES :**  Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget.

Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.

Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on October 13, 2016 (81 FR 7073). There were no comments. Title 49 United States Code (49 U.S.C.) 44703(h): Records of Employment of Pilot Applicants, which was established by the Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA), mandates that air carriers who have been issued a part 119 air carrier certificate and are authorized to conduct operations under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 121 or part 135 as well as part 125 and 135 operators, request and receive FAA records, air carrier and other operator records, and the National Driver Register records before allowing an individual to begin service as a pilot. Additionally, fractional ownerships operating in accordance with subpart K of part 91 are required to complete a pilot safety background check before allowing an individual to begin service as a pilot (reference § 91.1051). Furthermore, air tour operators operating in accordance with § 91.147 are required to obtain an individual’s previous drug and/or alcohol testing records before allowing an individual to begin service as a pilot. All requestors are heretofore referred to as ‘‘air carriers.’’ The FAA is also deploying a web-based online application called the Pilot Records Database (PRD) in December 2016 that is expected to benefit hiring air carriers, operators, and pilots required to comply with PRIA. This application automates the current PRIA process and provides an air carrier with immediate access to a consenting pilot’s FAA records. FAA’s externally facing applications require access control through MyAccess. Members of the public will authenticate via an externally-facing registration Web page;MyAccess. The MyAccess externallyfacing registration Web page allows a member of the public desiring access to an application to choose between entering Driver’s License or Social Security Number to establish the proof of identity needed for authentication.

Respondents: Approximately 600 pilots.

Frequency: On occasion. Estimated Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 100 hours.
