OMB Control Number: 2120–0760. 

Title: Disclosure of Seat Dimensions 

to Facilitate the Use of Child Safety 

Seats on Airplanes During PassengerCarrying Operations. 

Form Numbers: N/A. 

Type of Review: Renewal of an 

information collection. 

Background: Section 412 of the FAA 

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 

(Pub. L. 112–95) specifically required 

the Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) to conduct rulemaking ‘‘[T]o 

require each air carrier operating under 

part 121 of title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations to post on the internet 

website of the air carrier the maximum 

dimensions of a child safety seat that 

can be used on each aircraft operated by 

the air carrier to enable passengers to 

determine which child safety seats can 

be used on those aircraft.’’ As a result, 

the FAA amended 14 CFR 121.311, 

which requires passenger carrying air 

carriers to make available on their 

websites the width of the widest 

passenger seat in each class of service 

for each make, model and series of 

airplane used in passenger-carrying 

operations (80 FR 58575). Section 412 of 

Public Law 112–95 requires that all air 

carriers provide this required 

information on their internet websites. 

The vast majority of this burden 

occurred on a one-time basis as air 

carriers initially provided information 

on their websites in order to comply 

with the regulation. After initial 

implementation, the only time air 

carriers need to update their websites 

after initial implementation is when a 

new airplane make, model, or series is 

introduced to an air carrier’s fleet, or 

when an air carrier replaces the widest 

or narrowest seats installed on an 

existing airplane make, model, or series 

with wider or narrower seats. The 

purpose of this collection is to facilitate 

the use of child restraint systems 

onboard airplanes by providing greater 

information to caregivers to help them 

determine whether a particular child 

restraint system will fit in an airplane 

seat. 

Respondents: Approximately 44 

operators. 

Frequency: As required by regulation. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Varies per requirement. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 327 

Hours.

Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection 

(AMJP) Program.

Type of Review: Renewal and revision 

of Information Collection previously 

approved. 

Background: On March 11, 2021, the 

‘‘American Rescue Plan Act of 2021’’ 

(ARPA), Public Law (Pub. L.) 117–2, 

was enacted. Sections 7201 and 7202 

established the ‘‘Aviation

agreement, including the General Terms and 

Conditions. 

Manufacturing Jobs Protection’’ (AMJP) 

program. The stated purpose of the 

program is ‘‘to provide public 

contributions to supplement 

compensation of an eligible employee 

group’’ (which is defined in the statute), 

by entering into agreements with 

qualifying business entities to pay up to 

half of the payroll costs for that group 

of employees for up to six months, in 

return for several commitments, 

including a commitment that the 

company will not involuntarily furlough 

or lay off employees within that group. 

Individual employees (including 

contract employees) are not eligible to 

apply for assistance under this program. 

Application for assistance under the 

AMJP was voluntary. No business was 

required to apply. To be eligible, 

however, businesses were required to 

meet all the requirements set forth in 

the law. Therefore, DOT was required to 

collect certain information from 

applicants to determine eligibility. DOT 

must also verify the accuracy of specific 

payment requests from approved 

applicants, in accordance with other 

laws and regulations governing Federal 

financial assistance programs, including 

(but not limited to) the Antideficiency 

Act, the Federal Funding Accountability 

and Transparency Act (FFATA), the 

Payment Integrity Information Act of 

2019, and applicable provisions in 2 

CFR part 200, among others. 

The ARPA required DOT to reduce 

funding on a pro rata basis if eligible 

requests exceeded available funds. 

Therefore, DOT planned to conduct a 

single-round, expedited application 

process to identify all eligible requests 

before beginning the award process. 

Accordingly, DOT developed a 

process and system to enable businesses 

to apply for financial assistance under 

the AMJP. DOT used an online, webbased system to collect the information 

outlined in the notice at 86 FR 19695. 

DOT subsequently announced the 

beginning of the application process on 

June 14, 2021, via notice at 86 FR 31573. 

DOT posted the application instructions 

online at https://www.transportation.

gov/AMJP/apply. The application 

process was open for four weeks, from 

June 14, 2021 through July 13, 2021. 

DOT subsequently reopened the 

application process for another fourweek period ending September 1, 2021. 

Now that the application process is 

complete, DOT is renewing and 

updating this information collection. 

DOT will continue to require eligible 

recipients to attest that they continue to 

meet all the original eligibility 

requirements as previously outlined, as 

well as the following information: 

• A sworn certification as to the 

complete and accurate nature of all 

information provided, including all 

supporting documentation, subject to 

civil or criminal penalties. The specific 

certification language is in the forms 

referenced above and section 4.8 of the 

General Terms And Conditions Under 

The Aviation Manufacturing Jobs 

Protection Program.1

• After DOT determines eligibility 

and enters into an agreement with the 

applicant (referred to hereafter as ‘‘the 

recipient’’), DOT will also require the 

recipient to provide the actual aggregate 

total cost of compensation for the 

Eligible Employee Group during the 

period of the agreement with DOT, in 

order for DOT to review and approve 

actual disbursements pursuant to the 

agreement. Recipients will be required 

to provide supporting documentation in 

sufficient detail to substantiate the 

actual costs, specifically excluding any 

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) 

for any individual employees. 

Recipients will also be required to 

provide additional supporting 

information and certifications in 

support of disbursement requests. See 

Forms AMJP–1A–6.4, AMJP–1A–6.6, 

and AMJP–1A–6.7. 

• DOT may also ask recipient 

businesses to submit voluntary reports 

regarding demographic data associated 

with the workforce that is and is not 

included in the Eligible Employee 

Group. This would be voluntary on the 

part of the employer, and based solely 

on voluntary data self-reported by 

employees, disaggregated from any 

Personally Identifiable Information in 

order to avoid any potential privacy 

concerns. If a statistically valid sample 

can be developed, then it may be 

possible to extrapolate for reporting and 

program evaluation purposes. Such 

information may be used to support 

program evaluation. 

• DOT may also ask recipient 

businesses to identify how they first 

learned about the AMJP program. Such 

information may be useful in 

implementation of future financial 

assistance programs. 

DOT has updated the following 

estimated public burden figures based 

on the actual number of applications 

received as well as observations during 

the application review process. In order 

to help reduce the burden on recipients 

(and particularly on small businesses), 

DOT decided to make an initial 

disbursement shortly after award of 

each agreement. The initial 

disbursement is up to 50 percent of the 

award amount. This provides the 

recipient businesses with an immediate 

cash infusion, while also reducing the 

total number of disbursements and the 

cumulative paperwork required. DOT 

announced this decision in the 

application package published on June 

15, 2021. 

Respondents: Eligible business 

entities in the aviation manufacturing, 

maintenance, repair, and overhaul 

services based in the United States. 

Number of Respondents: 600. 

Frequency: Up to two disbursement 

requests and one final closeout report 

(including supporting payroll 

documentation and reporting 

requirements). 

Total Annual Burden: Total burden, 

16,800 hours (28 hours per respondent 

including 4 hours for each of 2 

disbursement requests; 14 hours for 

required forms; 2 hours for voluntary 

demographic data; and 4 hours for 

closeout documentation). 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the 

Department’s performance; (b) the 

accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) 

ways for the Department to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information collection; and (d) ways 

that the burden could be minimized 

without reducing the quality of the 

collected information. The agency will 

summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

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