ICR 2105–0551, ‘‘Reporting
Requirements for Disability-Related
Complaints’’
(1) Requirement to read, record and
categorize each disability related
complaint from a passenger or on behalf
of a passenger.
Respondents: Certificated U.S. air
carriers and foreign air carriers
operating to and from the United States
that conduct passenger-carrying service
with large aircraft.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: 0 minutes to 875 hours a
year for each respondent (time to record
and categorize one complaint [15
minutes] multiplied by the number of
complaints respondents receive [0
complaint a year to 3,500 annual
complaints a year]. The number of
complaints received by carriers varies
greatly. In 2003, we estimated that
carriers would receive anywhere from 1
complaint a year to 4,000 annual
complaints a year. Based on data
provided by carriers in 2004, 2005, and
2006, we believe that a range of 0 to
3500 annual complaints a year is more
accurate.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3238
hours for all respondents (time to record
and categorize one complaint [15
minutes] multiplied by the total number
of complaints for all respondents
[12,952]). In 2003, we estimated that the
total number of complaints for all
respondents would be 33,050. Based on
a review of the data provided by
carriers, it appears that our 2003
estimate was too high. Carriers received
a total of 11,508 complaints in 2004, a
total of 13,584 complaints in 2005, and
a total of 13,764 complaints in 2006 for
an average of 12,952 annual complaints.
Frequency: 0 to 3,000 complaints per
year for each respondent (Some carriers
may not receive any complaint in a
given year while some of the larger
operators could receive 3,000 annual
complaints).
(2) Requirement to submit a report to
DOT summarizing the disability-related
complaint data (key-punching webbased matrix report).
Respondents: Certificated U.S. air
carriers and foreign air carriers
operating to and from the United States
that conduct passenger-carrying service
with large aircraft.

Jkt 211001
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: 30 minutes a year for each
respondent to type in the 169 items
(matrix consists of 13 disabilities and 13
service problems).
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 80
hours for all respondents (annual
burden [30 minutes] multiplied by the
total number respondents [160]). In
2003, we estimated the total number of
respondents to be anywhere from 295 to
370. However, based on the number of
carriers that reported data in 2004, 2005
and 2006 as well as the carriers that did
not but should have submitted such
data, we now believe that the total
number of respondents is approximately
160.
Frequency: 1 report to DOT per year
for each respondent.
Estimated Number of Responses: 160
(frequency of report [1 per year]
multiplied by the total number of
respondents [160].
(3) Requirement to retain
correspondence and record of action
taken on all disability-related
complaints for three years.
Respondents: Foreign air carriers
operating to and from the United States
that conduct passenger carrying service
with large aircraft.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: 1 hour a year for each
respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 100
hours for all respondents (annual
burden [1 hour] multiplied by the total
number respondents [100]. In 2003, we
estimated that the total number of
foreign air carriers that would be
required to submit an annual report to
DOT would be 231 to 306. However, we
have found that not all of the foreign air
carriers that have authority to fly into
the U.S. actually do so. It appears that
the total number of foreign air carriers
that would be covered is approximately
100.
Frequency: 0 to 300 complaints per
year for each respondent. The data
provided by foreign air carriers
operating to and from the United States
that conduct passenger carrying service
with large aircraft demonstrates that that
number of complaints received by such
carriers varies greatly from a low of 0 to
a high of almost 300.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the 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
