BILLING CODE 8120–08–M

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Notice of Request for Extension of a

Currently Approved Information

Collection

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for

comments.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended) this

notice announces the Department of

Transportation’s DOT’s intention to

request an extension for a currently

approved information collection.

DATES: Comments on this notice must be

received by June 16, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to

the EAS and Domestic Analysis

Division (X–53), Office of Aviation

Analysis, Office of the Secretary, U.S.

Department of Transportation, 400 7th

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590–

0002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Luther Dietrich or Mr. Dennis DeVany,

Office of the Secretary, Office of

Aviation Analysis, X–53, Department of

Transportation, at the address above.

Telephone: (202) 366–1046/1061.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Air Carrier’s Claim for Subsidy

and Air Carrier’s Report of Departures

Flown in Scheduled Service.

OMB Control Number: 2106–0044.

Expiration Date: September 30, 2000.

Type of Request: Extension for a

currently approved information

collection.

Abstract: In 14 CFR 271 of its

Aviation Economic Regulations, the

Department provided that subsidy to air

carriers for providing essential air

service will be paid to the carriers

monthly, and that payments will vary

according to the actual amount of

service performed during the month.

The reports of subsidized air carriers of

essential air service performed on the

Department’s Forms 397, ‘‘Air Carrier’s

Report of Departures Flown in Schedule

Service’’ (formerly ‘‘Air Carrier’s Report

of Revenue/Seat Miles Flown in

Scheduled Service’’), and 398, ‘‘Air

Carrier’s Claim for Subsidy,’’ establish

the fundamental basis for paying these

air carriers on a timely basis. Typically,

subsidized air carriers are small

businesses and operate only aircraft of

limited size over a limited geographical

area. The collection permits subsidized

air carriers to submit their monthly

claims in a concise, orderly, easy-toprocess form, without having to devise

their own means of submitting support

for these claims.

The collection involved here requests

only information concerning the

subsidy-eligible flights (which generally

constitute only a small percentage of the

carriers’ total operations) of a small

number of air carriers. The collection

permits the Department to timely pay

air carriers for providing essential air

service to certain eligible communities

that would not otherwise receive

scheduled passenger air service.

Respondents: Small air carriers

selected by the Department in docketed

cases to provide subsidized essential air

service.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

21.

Average Annual Burden per

Respondent: 278 hours.

Estimated Total Burden on

Respondents: 5,838 hours.

This information collection is

available for inspection at the EAS and

Domestic Analysis Division (X–53),

Office of Aviation Analysis, DOT, at the

address above. Copies of 14 CFR 271

can be obtained from Mr. Luther

Dietrich at the address and telephone

number shown above.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper functioning

of the Department, including whether

the information will have practical

utility; (b) the accuracy of the

Department’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, including the use of

automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

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.

Issued in Washington, DC, on April 11,

2000.

Acting Director, Office of Aviation Analysis.
