Aviation (Treaty), the United States is obligated to provide ICAO with 
financial and statistical data on operations of U.S. air carriers. Over 
99% of the data filed with ICAO is extracted from the air carriers' 
Form 41 submissions to BTS. BTS Form EF is the means by which BTS 
supplies the remaining 1% of the air carrier data to ICAO.
    The Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency 
Act of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501), requires a statistical agency to clearly 
identify information it collects for non-statistical purposes. BTS 
hereby notifies the respondents and the public that BTS uses the 
information it collects under this OMB approval for non-statistical 
purposes including, but not limited to, publication of both 
Respondent's identity and its data, and submission of the information 
to agencies outside BTS for review, analysis and possible use in 
regulatory and other administrative matters.
    Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department concerning consumer protection. Comments should address 
whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of 
the Department's estimate of the burden of the proposed information 
collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and 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.
