    Abstract: Public Law 101-604 (entitled the Aviation Security 
Improvement Act of 1990, or ``ASIA 90'', and later codified as 49 
U.S.C. 44909) requires that certificated air carriers and large foreign 
air carriers collect the full name of each U.S. citizen traveling on 
flight segments to or from the United States and solicit a contact name 
and telephone number. In case of an aviation disaster, airlines would 
be required to provide the information to the Department of State and, 
in certain instances, to the National Transportation Safety Board. Each 
carrier would develop its own collection system. The Passenger Manifest 
Information, Final Rule (14 CFR 243), was published in the Federal 
Register, Vol. 63, No. 32 (February 18, 1998). The rule was effective 
March 20, 1998.
    Respondents: U.S. air carriers, foreign air carriers, travel agents 
and air travelers.
    Estimated Total Burden on Respondents: 1.05 million hours.
    Estimated Respondents: 23,245 (excluding air travelers).
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the continued collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of 
the current information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information being 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.
