DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket No. DOT–OST–2008–0388] 

Revision of a Previously Approved 

Collection: Public Charters, 14 CFR 

Part 380 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13, (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq.), this notice announces that the 

Information Collection Request (ICR), 

abstracted below, is being forwarded to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for renewal of currently 

approved Public Charters, 14 CFR part 

380. Earlier, a Federal Register Notice 

with a 60-day comment period was 

published on May 21, 2009 (74 FR 

23925). The agency did not receive any 

comments to its notice. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by August 26, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Reather Flemmings (202–366–1865) and 

Ms. Torlanda Archer (202–366–1037), 

U.S. Department of Transportation, 

Office of the Secretary, Office of 

International Aviation, Special 

Authorities Division, X–46, 1200 New 

Jersey Avenue, SE., W86–445, 

Washington, DC 20590. 

Comment: Comments should be sent 

to OMB at the address that appears 

below and should identify the 

associated OMB Approval Number 

2106–0005 and Docket No. DOT–OST– 

2008–0388. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2106–0005. 

Title: Public Charters, 14 CFR part 

380. 

Form Numbers: 4532, 4533, 4534, 

4535. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection: The 

current OMB inventory has decreased 

the changes are listed below. 

Respondents: Private Sector: Air 

carriers; tour operators; the general 

public (including groups and 

individuals, corporations and 

Universities or Colleges, etc.) 

Number of Respondents: 245. 

Number of Responses: 1,782. 

Total Annual Burden: 891. 

Needs and Uses: 14 CFR part 380 

establishes the regulations of the 

Department’s terms and conditions 

governing Public Charter operators to 

conduct air transportation using direct 

air carriers. Public Charter operators 

arrange transportation for groups of 

people on chartered aircraft. This 

arrangement is less expensive for the 

travelers than individually buying a 

ticket. Part 380 exempts charter 

operators from certain provisions of the 

U.S. code in order that they may 

provide this service. A primary goal of 

part 380 is to seek protection for the 

consumer. Accordingly, the rule 

stipulates that the charter operator must 

file evidence (a prospectus—consisting 

of OST Forms 4532, 4533, 4534 and 

4535) with the Department for each 

charter program certifying that it has 

entered into a binding contract with a 

direct air carrier to provide air 

transportation and that it has also 

entered into agreements with 

Department-approved financial 

institutions for the protection of charter 

participants’ funds. The prospectus 

must be approved by the Department 

prior to the operator’s advertising, 

selling or operating the charter. If the 

prospectus information were not 

collected it would be extremely difficult 

to assure compliance with agency rules 

and to assure that public security and 

other consumer protection requirements 

were in place for the traveling public. 

The information collected is available 

for public inspection (unless the 

respondent specifically requests 

confidential treatment). Part 380 does 

not provide any assurances of 

confidentiality.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Cancellation of 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the West Bend Municipal Airport, West 

Bend, WI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Cancellation of Environmental 

Impact Statement Process. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces that is 

has discontinued the preparation of an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for proposed development at West Bend 

Municipal Airport, West Bend, 

Wisconsin. The FAA is doing so 

because the current proposed 

development is not ripe for decision at 

this time and lacks proper support and 

justification in the near-term planning 

period. 

On September 6, 2006, the FAA–Great 

Lakes Region, published in the Federal 

Register a Notice of Intent to prepare an 

EIS and conduct scoping meetings 

(Volume 71, Number 172, FR 52608– 

52609). The EIS and Scoping Meetings 

addressed proposed construction of a 

new 5,500 foot x 100 foot Runway 7/25 

with full instrument landing system and 

associated navigational aids at the 

airport. 

Other proposed development 

included: Construction of a full parallel 

taxiway for Runway 7/25, hangar area 

development, land acquisition, 

widening and rerouting of Highway 33 

around the north side of the airport 

between North Trenton Road and 4,000 

feet east of North Oak Road. Two 

government agency scoping meetings 

were held on October 11, and October 

19, 2006. The public scoping meeting 

was held October 11, 2006. 

The FAA has made little forward 

progress in the EIS process due to 

various external constraints and 

obstacles associated with this airport 

and proposed development. The major 

issues surrounding this proposed 

development are: Lack of justification to 

support the purpose of and need for 

proposed project; many acres of high 

quality wetland impacts; airport 

(airfield) and physical (natural feature) 

site constraints; Federal and State 

Resource Agency opposition; and 

economic downturn in aircraft demand, 

operations and loss of based aircraft. As 

such, the FAA is hereby canceling the 

EIS process.
