DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Office of the Secretary
Notice of Request for Extension and Revision of a Currently
Approved Information Collection
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended) this notice announces the Department of
Transportation's (DOT) intention to request a reinstatement without
change of a previously approved collection for which approval has
expired.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be received by November 9, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to the Special Authorities Division
(X-57), Office of Aviation Analysis, Office of the Secretary, U.S.
Department of Transportation, 400 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC
20590-0002.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Ronale Taylor or Mr. Charles
McGuire, Office of the Secretary, Office of Aviation Analysis, X-57,
Department of Transportation, at the address above. Telephone: (202)
366-1037/9539.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Foreign Air Freight Forwarders and Foreign Cooperative
Shippers Associations.
OMB Control Number: 2106-0036.
Expiration Date: May 1997.
Type of Request: Reinstatement without change of a previously
approved collection for which approval has expired.
Abstract: Title 14 CFR Part 297 (sec. 297.10) grants foreign
indirect air carriers an exemption from certain provisions of Subtitle
VII of Title 49 of the United States Code (Transportation) in order
that they may consolidate air freight shipments in the U.S. for further
transportation on direct air carrier flights. One of the requirements
of Part 297 is that the carriers apply for and receive an approved
registration from the Department before operating (sec. 297.20). The
registration information required makes it possible for the Department
to consider the grant or denial of access to U.S. markets by foreign-
owned companies based on the availability of reciprocal privileges for
U.S. carriers abroad. Without this requirement, the Department could
not protect the competitive and financial interests of U.S. carriers.
The form used for these collections is simplified and requests only
basic information about the carriers ownership and management.
Respondents: Foreign indirect air carriers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 15.
Average Annual Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Burden on Respondents: 8 hours.
This information collection is available for inspection at the
Special Authorities Division (X-57), Office of Aviation Analysis, DOT,
at the address above. Copies of 14 CFR Part 297 can be obtained from
Ms. Ronale Taylor at the address and telephone number shown above.
Comments are Invited on: (a) Whether the proposed 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 proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be 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.
Issued in Washington, DC on October 6, 1997.
John V. Coleman,
Office of Aviation Analysis.
