SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Approval No. 2138–0013. 

Title: Report of Financial and 

Operating Statistics for Large 

Certificated Air Carriers. 

Form No.: BTS Form 41. 

Type Of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Large certificated air 

carriers. 

Number of Respondents: 63. 

Estimated Time per Response: 4 hours 

per schedule, an average carrier may 

submit 90 schedules in one year. 

Total Annual Burden: 22,680 hours. 

Needs and Uses: Program uses for 

Form 41 data are as follows: 

Mail Rates 

The Department of Transportation 

sets and updates the international and 

mainline Alaska mail rates based on 

carrier aircraft operating expense, traffic 

and operational data. Form 41 cost data, 

especially fuel costs, terminal expenses, 

and line haul expenses are used in 

arriving at rate levels. DOT revises the 

established rates based on the 

percentage of unit cost changes in the 

carriers’ operations. These updating 

procedures have resulted in the carriers 

receiving rates of compensation that 

more closely parallel their costs of 

providing mail service and contribute to 

the carriers’ economic well-being. 

Submission of U.S. Carrier Data to 

ICAO 

As a party to the Convention on 

International Civil Aviation, the United 

States is obligated to provide the 

International Civil Aviation 

Organization with financial and 

statistical data on operations of U.S. air 

carriers. Over 99 percent of the data 

filed with ICAO is extracted from the 

carriers’ Form 41 reports. 

Carrier Fitness 

Fitness determinations are made for 

both new entrants and established U.S. 

domestic carriers proposing a 

substantial change in operations. A 

portion of these applications consists of 

an operating plan for the first year (14 

CFR Part 204) and an associated 

projection of revenues and expenses. 

The carrier’s operating costs, included 

in these projections, are compared 

against the cost data in Form 41 for a 

carrier or carriers with the same aircraft 

type and similar operating 

characteristics. Such a review validates 

the reasonableness of the carrier’s 

operating plan. 

Form 41 reports, particularly balance 

sheet reports and cash flow statements 

play a major role in the identification of 

vulnerable carriers. Data comparisons 

are made between current and past 

periods in order to assess the current 

financial position of the carrier. 

Financial trend lines are extended into 

the future to analyze the continued 

viability of the carrier. DOT reviews 

three areas of a carrier’s operation: (1) 

The qualifications of its management 

team, (2) its disposition to comply with 

laws and regulations, and (3) its 

financial posture. DOT must determine 

whether or not a carrier has sufficient 

financial resources to conduct its 

operations without imposing undue risk 

on the traveling public. Moreover, once 

a carrier is operating, DOT is required 

to monitor its continuing fitness. 

Senior DOT officials must be kept 

fully informed as to all current and 

developing economic issues affecting 

the airline industry. In preparing 

financial conditions reports or status 

reports on a particular airline, financial
