SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 2106–0005. Title: Public Charters, 14 CFR part 380. Form Numbers: 4532, 4533, 4534, 4535. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection: The current OMB inventory has decreased the changes are listed below. Respondents: Private Sector: Air carriers; tour operators; the general public (including groups and individuals, corporations and Universities or Colleges, etc.) Number of Respondents: 245. Number of Responses: 1,782. Total Annual Burden: 891. Needs and Uses: 14 CFR part 380 establishes the regulations of the Department’s terms and conditions governing Public Charter operators to conduct air transportation using direct air carriers. Public Charter operators VerDate Nov<24>2008 19:02 Jul 24, 2009 Jkt 217001 arrange transportation for groups of people on chartered aircraft. This arrangement is less expensive for the travelers than individually buying a ticket. Part 380 exempts charter operators from certain provisions of the U.S. code in order that they may provide this service. A primary goal of part 380 is to seek protection for the consumer. Accordingly, the rule stipulates that the charter operator must file evidence (a prospectus—consisting of OST Forms 4532, 4533, 4534 and 4535) with the Department for each charter program certifying that it has entered into a binding contract with a direct air carrier to provide air transportation and that it has also entered into agreements with Department-approved financial institutions for the protection of charter participants’ funds. The prospectus must be approved by the Department prior to the operator’s advertising, selling or operating the charter. If the prospectus information were not collected it would be extremely difficult to assure compliance with agency rules and to assure that public security and other consumer protection requirements were in place for the traveling public. The information collected is available for public inspection (unless the respondent specifically requests confidential treatment). Part 380 does not provide any assurances of confidentiality.

ACTION: Cancellation of Environmental Impact Statement Process. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that is has discontinued the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for proposed development at West Bend Municipal Airport, West Bend, Wisconsin. The FAA is doing so because the current proposed SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00089 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 37085 development is not ripe for decision at this time and lacks proper support and justification in the near-term planning period. On September 6, 2006, the FAA–Great Lakes Region, published in the Federal Register a Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS and conduct scoping meetings (Volume 71, Number 172, FR 52608– 52609). The EIS and Scoping Meetings addressed proposed construction of a new 5,500 foot x 100 foot Runway 7/25 with full instrument landing system and associated navigational aids at the airport. Other proposed development included: Construction of a full parallel taxiway for Runway 7/25, hangar area development, land acquisition, widening and rerouting of Highway 33 around the north side of the airport between North Trenton Road and 4,000 feet east of North Oak Road. Two government agency scoping meetings were held on October 11, and October 19, 2006. The public scoping meeting was held October 11, 2006. The FAA has made little forward progress in the EIS process due to various external constraints and obstacles associated with this airport and proposed development. The major issues surrounding this proposed development are: Lack of justification to support the purpose of and need for proposed project; many acres of high quality wetland impacts; airport (airfield) and physical (natural feature) site constraints; Federal and State Resource Agency opposition; and economic downturn in aircraft demand, operations and loss of based aircraft. As such, the FAA is hereby canceling the EIS process.
