DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Office of the Secretary
Reports, Forms and Recordkeeping Requirements
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice lists those forms, reports, and recordkeeping
requirements imposed upon the public which were transmitted by the
Department of Transportation to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for its approval in accordance with the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 USC Chapter 35). Section 3507 of
Title 44 of the United States Code, requires that agencies prepare a
notice for publication in the Federal Register, listing information
collection request submitted to OMB for approval or renewal under that
Act. OMB reviews and approves agency submissions in accordance with
criteria set forth in that Act. In carrying out its responsibilities,
OMB also considers public comments on the proposed forms and the
reporting and recordkeeping requirements. OMB approval of an
information collection requirement must be renewed at least once every
three years.
The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments on information collection 2120-0034 was published on September
4, 1998 (63 FR 47340).
DATES: Comments on this notice must be received on or before December
17, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Copies of the DOT information
collection requests submitted to OMB may be obtained from Ms. Judith
Street, Federal Aviation Administration, Corporate Information
Division, ABC-100, 800 Independence Ave., SW., (202) 267-9895,
Washington, DC 20591.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Title: Commuter Operations and General Certification and Operations
Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0593.
Form(s): FAA Form 8400-6.
Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Transition of some 135 carriers to part 121 rules.
Abstract: The regulation requires that certain commuter operators
conduct their operations under part 121 instead of part 135. Affected
operators include those conducting scheduled, passenger-carrying
operations with airplanes with 10-30 seats. The reporting requirements
are similar but different between parts 121 and 135. This submission
reflects only the additional burden associated with part 135 carriers
transitioning to part 121 standards.
There will be a change to the collection of information. The
transition portion of this rule is complete. However, Part 119
continues to cover new carriers and some ongoing requirements. The
burden associated with the transition portion will be removed, and only
burden associated with new carriers and ongoing requirements will be
reflected in the updated submission.
Estimated Burden: The estimated total annual burden is 8,803 hours.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on the DOT information collection request
should be forwarded, within 30 days of publication, to Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget,
New Executive Office Building, Room 10102, Washington, D.C. 20503,
ATTN: FAA Desk Officer. If you anticipate submitting substantive
comments, but find that more than 10 days from the date of publication
are needed to prepare them, please notify the OMB official of your
intent immediately.
Comments Are Invited On
Whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the Department, including
whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of
the Department's estimate of the burden of the proposed information
collections; 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.
A comment to OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB
receives it within 30 days of publication.
Issued in Washington, DC, on November 9, 1998.

Clearance Officer, United States Department of Transportation.
