SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Approval No.: 2138–0006.
Title: Preservation of Air Carrier
Records—14 CFR Part 249.
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:41 Nov 13, 2009
Jkt 220001
Form No.: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved recordkeeping
requirement.
Respondents: Certificated air carriers
and charter operators.
Number of Respondents: 90
certificated air carriers; 300 charter
operators.
Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours
per certificated air carrier; 1 hour per
charter operator.
Total Annual Burden: 570 hours.
Needs and Uses: Part 249 requires the
retention of records such as: general and
subsidiary ledgers, journals and journal
vouchers, voucher distribution registers,
accounts receivable and payable
journals and legers, subsidy records
documenting underlying financial and
statistical reports to DOT, funds reports,
consumer records, sales reports,
auditors’ and flight coupons, air
waybills, etc. Depending on the nature
of the document, the carrier may be
required to retain the document for a
period of 30 days to 3 years. Public
charter operators and overseas military
personnel charter operators must retain
documents which evidence or reflect
deposits made by each charter
participant and commissions received
by, paid to, or deducted by travel agents,
and all statements, invoices, bills and
receipts from suppliers or furnishers of
goods and services in connection with
the tour or charter. These records are
retained for 6 months after completion
of the charter program.
Not only is it imperative that carriers
and charter operators retain source
documentation, but it is critical that we
ensure that DOT has access to these
records. Given DOT’s established
information needs for such reports, the
underlying support documentation must
be retained for a reasonable period of
time. Absent the retention requirements,
the support for such reports may or may
not exist for audit/validation purposes
and the relevance and usefulness of the
carrier submissions would be impaired,
since the data could not be verified to
the source on a test basis.
The Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501 note), requires
a statistical agency to clearly identify
information it collects for non-statistical
purposes. BTS hereby notifies the
respondents and the public that BTS
uses the information it collects under
this OMB approval for non-statistical
purposes including, but not limited to,
publication of both Respondent’s
identity and its data, submission of the
information to agencies outside BTS for
review, analysis and possible use in

SUMMARY: In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13, the Bureau of

passenger itineraries with the dollar
value of the passenger ticket.

capacity of over 60 seats report these
data. Comments are requested

is still needed by the Department of
Transportation; (b) BTS accurately
estimates the reporting burden; (c) there
are other ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information
collected; and (d) there are ways to
minimize reporting burden, including
the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by January 15, 2010.
