SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOT 

collects information regarding flight 

performance and mishandled baggage, 

wheelchairs, and scooters from the 

largest U.S. air carriers under 14 CFR 

part 234. The air carriers required to 

provide this information to DOT consist 

of the U.S. air carriers that accounted for 

at least 0.5 percent of domestic 

scheduled-passenger revenues 

(Reporting Carriers) as most recently 

determined by the DOT’s Office of 

Airline Information. An air carrier that 

is not a Reporting Carrier may 

voluntarily submit the flight 

performance and mishandled baggage, 

wheelchairs, and scooters information 

to the Department pursuant to 14 CFR 

234.7. 

Specifically, Reporting Carriers must 

submit Part 234 On-time Performance 

reports to DOT with information on 

domestic flight operations and 

performance as described in 14 CFR 

234.4.1 In addition, under 14 CFR 234.6, 

Reporting Carriers must submit Part 234 

Mishandled Baggage reports to DOT that 

include the following information for 

covered domestic flights: (1) The 

number of bags mishandled in its 

custody, (2) the number of bags 

enplaned into the aircraft cargo 

compartment, (3) the number of 

mishandled wheelchairs and scooters 

mishandled in its custody, and (4) the 

number of wheelchairs and scooters 

enplaned into the aircraft cargo 

compartment.2 Each Reporting Carrier is 

required to report the flight performance 

and mishandled baggage, wheelchair, 

and scooter information to DOT on a 

monthly basis for the covered flights it 

operates and for any covered flights 

held out under the Reporting Carrier’s 

code (as the only U.S. carrier code) and 

operated by a codeshare partner of the 

Reporting Carrier. 

DOT uses the information reported by 

airlines to provide airline performance 

information and statistics on the BTS 

website and in the Air Travel Consumer 

Report (ATCR), a monthly publication 

of DOT’s Office of Aviation Consumer 

Protection (OACP). Air transportation 

consumers and other stakeholders use 

the information DOT publishes to 

understand and compare airlines’ 

service quality performance, including 

airlines’ rates of on-time performance 

and cancellation and rates of baggage 

and wheelchair and scooter 

mishandling. 

DOT’s Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) uses data 

reported by airlines in Part 234 On-time 

Performance reports to analyze air 

traffic delays. Wheels-up and wheelsdown times are used by the FAA in 

conjunction with departure and arrival 

times to show the extent of ground 

delays. Actual elapsed flight time 

(wheels-down minus wheels-up time) is 

compared by the FAA to scheduled 

elapsed flight time to identify airborne 

delays. 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. The 

data can be analyzed by the FAA for 

airport design changes, new equipment 

purchases, and the planning of new 

runways or airports based on current 

and projected airport delays and traffic 

levels. The identification of the reason 

for delays allows the FAA, airport 

operators, and air carriers to pinpoint 

delays under their control. 

DOT is publishing this notice to 

announce its intent to request extension 

of the previously approved information 

collections described above under OMB 

Control Number 2138–0041. Without 

further action, OMB authorization of the 

information collections would expire 

December 31, 2021. 

The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA) and its implementing regulations, 

5 CFR part 1320, require Federal 

agencies to issue two notices seeking 

public comment on information 

collection activities before OMB may 

approve paperwork packages. A Federal 

agency generally cannot conduct or 

sponsor a collection of information, and 

the public is generally not required to 

respond to an information collection, 

unless it is approved by the OMB under 

the PRA and displays a currently valid 

OMB Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to monetary penalty for failing to 

comply with a collection of information

3The Final Rule to Amend Rules Requiring 

Reporting of Mishandled Baggage, Regulatory 

Impact Analysis, October 18, 2016, estimated a data 

entry burden of 5 seconds per wheelchair or scooter 

recorded manually. See Docket No. RITA–2011– 

0001. 

if the collection of information does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

For each of these information 

collections, the title, a description of the 

respondents, and an estimate of the 

annual recordkeeping and periodic 

reporting burden are set forth below. 

1. Airline Service Quality Performance 

Reports—Part 234 On-Time 

Performance 

Respondents: Certificated air carriers 

that account for at least 0.5 percent of 

the domestic scheduled-service 

passenger revenues are required to 

report flight performance data for flights 

that they operate as described in 14 CFR 

234.4; Certificated air carriers that 

account for at least 0.5 percent of 

domestic scheduled-service passenger 

revenues that market code-share flights 

carrying the carrier’s code as the only 

U.S. carrier code are required to report 

flight performance data for these codeshare flights as described in 14 CFR 

234.4; Air carriers may voluntarily 

report flight performance data pursuant 

to 14 CFR 234.7. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 17 

air carriers (4 of which market 

codeshare flights). 

Frequency: Monthly. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 10 hours for each respondent 

to report for the flights operated by the 

respondent plus an additional 16 hours 

if the respondent reports for flights 

operated by code-share partners. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

2,808 hours (17 air carriers reporting the 

flight performance information for the 

flights they operate × 10 hours per 

response × 12 months = 2,040 hours) + 

(4 air carriers reporting the flight 

performance information for flights 

operated by their codeshare partners × 

16 hours per response × 12 months = 

768 hours). This estimate is based on 

the following information: 17 carriers 

reported the flight performance data for 

the flights they operated to DOT in 

calendar year 2019, 2020, and 2021. 

Currently, 4 carriers report flight 

performance data to DOT for their 

codeshare operations. 

DOT estimates that respondents will 

encounter on average a 10-hour burden 

per month to report flight performance 

data to DOT for the flights they operate. 

DOT estimates the respondents that 

market codeshare flights will encounter 

on average an additional burden of 16 

hours per month to report flight 

performance data to DOT for their 

codeshare operations. The burden 

estimates include staff time to manage 

and process the data and to submit the 

report through DOT’s electronic 

submission system. 

2. Airline Service Quality Performance 

Reports—Part 234 Mishandled Baggage 

Respondents: Certificated air carriers 

that account for at least 0.5 percent of 

the domestic scheduled-service 

passenger revenues are required to 

report mishandled baggage and 

wheelchairs and scooters data for flights 

that they operate as described in 14 CFR 

234.6; Certificated air carriers that 

account for at least 0.5 percent of 

domestic scheduled-service passenger 

revenues that market code-share flights 

carrying the carrier’s code as the only 

U.S. carrier code are required to report 

mishandled baggage and wheelchairs 

and scooters data for these code-share 

flights as described in 14 CFR 234.6; Air 

carriers may voluntarily report 

mishandled baggage and wheelchairs 

and scooters data pursuant to 14 CFR 

234.7. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 17 

air carriers (4 that market codeshare 

flights). 

Frequency: Monthly. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 10 hours for each respondent 

to report for the flights operated by the 

respondent plus an additional 16 hours 

if the respondent reports for flights 

operated by code-share partners. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

2,825 hours (17 air carriers reporting the 

mishandled baggage and mishandled 

wheelchairs and scooters information 

for flights they operate × 10 hours per 

response × 12 months = 2,040 hours) + 

(4 air carriers reporting the mishandled 

baggage and mishandled wheelchairs 

and scooters information for flights 

operated by their codeshare partners × 

16 hours per response × 12 months = 

768 hours) + (.00138 hours for manual 

data entry related to wheelchair or 

scooters × 12,000 manual entries = 17 

hours). This estimate is based on the 

following information: 17 Carriers 

reported mishandled baggage and 

wheelchair and scooter information to 

DOT in calendar year 2019, 2020, and 

2021. Currently, 4 carriers report 

mishandled baggage and wheelchair and 

scooter information to DOT for their 

codeshare operations. 

DOT estimates that respondents will 

encounter on average 10-hours burden 

per month to report the mishandled 

baggage and wheelchair and scooter 

data to DOT for the flights they operate. 

DOT estimates that respondents that 

market codeshare flights will encounter 

on average an additional burden of 16 

hours per month to report the 

mishandled baggage and wheelchair and 

scooter data to DOT for their codeshare 

operations. The burden estimates 

include staff time to manage and 

process the data and to submit the 

report through DOT’s electronic 

submission system. 

In addition, the estimated total annual 

burden is based on the assumption that 

most respondents employ automated 

processes to record that an item 

enplaned is a wheelchair or scooter for 

the purposes of reporting data on 

wheelchairs and scooters to DOT. For a 

carrier that manually records this 

information, such as by having their 

agent type information describing a 

wheelchair or scooter into the airline’s 

system, DOT estimates that the airline 

would spend approximately 5 seconds 

(.00138 hours) per item to manually 

enter the data.3 DOT estimates that 

12,000 Wheelchairs and scooters total 

are recorded manually per year. 

Administrative Issues 

The Confidential Information 

Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act 

of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501) requires a 

statistical agency to clearly identify 

information it collects for non-statistical 

purposes. BTS hereby notifies the 

respondents and the public that BTS 

uses the information it collects under 

this OMB approval for non-statistical 

purposes including, but not limited to, 

publication of both respondent’s 

identity and its data, submission of the 

information to agencies outside BTS for 

review, analysis and possible use in 

regulatory and other administrative 

matters. 

Comments Invited 

We invite comments on: (a) Whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of DOT, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

DOT’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record on 

the docket.
