Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: High Density 
Traffic Airports; Slot Allocation and Transfer Methods

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was 
published on April 14, 2014, vol. 79, no. 71, pages 20962-20963. This 
information collection is used to allocate slots and maintain accurate 
records of slot transfers at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport 
(DCA), the only High Density Traffic Airport. The information is 
provided by air carriers, commuter operators, or other persons holding 
a slot at DCA or by persons conducting an Other (unscheduled) operation 
at DCA. This notice serves as a correction to the notice for public 
comments published on June 27, 2014, vol. 79, number 124, page 36574. 
This notice clarifies details of the collection activity and revises 
hourly burden figures.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by August 7, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by 
email at: Kathy.DePaepe@faa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0524.
    Title: High Density Traffic Airports; Slot Allocation and Transfer 
Methods.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
information collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: Information is reported to the FAA by air carriers, 
commuter operators or other persons with slots at DCA. The respondents 
must notify the FAA of: (1) Requests for confirmation of transferred 
slots; (2) slots required to be returned or slots voluntarily returned; 
(3) requests to be included in a lottery for available slots; (4) usage 
of slots on a bi-monthly basis; and (5) requests for short-term use of 
off-peak hour slots. The FAA uses this information to allocate and 
withdraw takeoff and landing slots at DCA, and to confirm transfers of 
slots made among the operators, thus maintaining an accurate slot base 
at DCA. Information also is reported by persons conducting unscheduled 
operations at DCA. Those respondents must obtain a reservation from the 
FAA prior to an unscheduled operation. The FAA uses this information to 
provide air traffic control services at DCA.
    Respondents: Approximately 15 air carriers and commuter operators; 
as many as 78,840 unscheduled operations.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 34 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,441 hours.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of 
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and 
Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 
20503.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) 
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of 
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include 
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information 
collection.
