Total Annual Burden: 518,000 hours.
Abstract: Public Law 101–604
(entitled the Aviation Security
Improvement Act of 1990, or ‘‘ASIA
90,’’ and later codified as 49 U.S.C.
44909) requires that certificated air
carriers and large foreign air carriers
collect the full name of each U.S. citizen
traveling on flight segments to or from
the United States and solicit a contact
name and telephone number. In case of
an aviation disaster, airlines would be
required to provide the information to
the Department of State and, in certain
circumstances, to the National
Transportation Safety Board. Each
carrier would develop its own collection
system. The Passenger Manifest
Information, Final Rule (14 CFR 243)
was published in the Federal Register,
Vol. 63, No. 32 (February 18, 1998). The
rule was effective March 20, 1998.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
this collection of information (third
party notification) is necessary for the
proper performance of the agency,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimate of burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on the
respondents, including through the use
of automated 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.

Director, Office of Aviation Analysis.

Civil Supersonic Aircraft Panel
Discussion
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of meeting participation.
SUMMARY: This notice advises interested
persons that the FAA is participating in
a panel session on civil supersonic
aircraft research. The session will
include presentations on current
research programs and a question and
answer session for attendees. The FAA
is seeking to raise public awareness of
the continuing technological advances
in supersonic aircraft technology aimed
at reducing the intensity of sonic boom.

DATES: The public session will take
place on Sunday, March 1, 2009. The
panel discussion is from 10 a.m. to 12
noon in Palm Springs, CA.
ADDRESSES: The symposium is
sponsored by the University of
California Davis Air Quality Research
Center and it will be held at the Hilton
Palm Springs Hotel, 400 East Tahquitz
Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA.
Attendance is open to all interested
parties, and there are no fees to attend
this session.

Background: Since March 1973,
supersonic flight over land by civil
aircraft has been prohibited in the
United States. The Concorde was the
only civil supersonic airplane that
offered service to the United States, but
that airplane is no longer in service.
The interest in supersonic aircraft
technology has not disappeared. Current
research is dedicated toward reducing
the impact of sonic booms as they reach
the ground, in an effort to make
overland flight acceptable. Recent
research has produced promising results
for low boom intensity, and has
renewed interest in developing
supersonic civil aircraft that could be
considered environmentally acceptable
for supersonic flight over land.
The FAA led its first panel discussion
entitled, ‘‘State of the Art of Supersonics
Aircraft Technology—What has
progressed in science since 1973,’’ in
Chicago, IL on Friday, October 24, 2008,
as part of the O’Hare Noise
Compatibility Commission Symposium.
The FAA’s second presentation and
panel discussion will take place on
Sunday, March 1, 2009, as part of the
Annual University of California
Symposium on Aviation Noise and Air
Quality. It will be held at the Hilton
Palm Springs Hotel, 400 East Tahquitz
Canyon Way, Palm Springs, California.
The purpose of this panel session is
to raise public awareness on advances
in supersonic technology, and for the
FAA, the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA), and
industry to get feedback from interested
persons.
Public involvement is essential in any
future definition of an acceptable new
standard that would allow supersonic
flights over land. We anticipate that this
will be the second of many meetings
informing the public on developments
in the research of shaped sonic booms

and other technical and environmental
