Agency Information Collection;
Activity Under OMB Review; Airline
Service Quality Performance—Part 234
AGENCY: Research and Innovative
Technology Administration (RITA),
Bureau of Transportation Statistics
(BTS), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13, the Bureau of
Transportation Statistics invites the
general public, industry and other
governmental parties to comment on the
continuing need for and usefulness of
DOT requiring large certificated air
carriers to file ‘‘On-Time Flight
Performance Reports’’ and ‘‘MishandledBaggage Reports’’ pursuant to 14 CFR
234.4 and 234.6. These reports are used
to monitor the quality of air service that
major air carriers are providing the
flying public. The Federal Aviation
Administration uses the On-Time Flight
Performance Reports to identify
problem areas within the air traffic
control system.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by June 25, 2010.

comments a self-addressed stamped

Title: Airline Service Quality
Performance—Part 234.
Form No.: BTS Form 234.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Large certificated air
carriers that account for at least 1
percent of the domestic scheduled
passenger revenues.
Number of Respondents: 18.
Number of Responses: 216.
Total Burden per Response: 20 hours.
Total Annual Burden: 4,320 hours.
Needs and Uses:
Consumer Information
Part 234 gives air travelers
information concerning their chances of
on-time flights and the rate of
mishandled baggage by the 18 largest
scheduled domestic passenger carriers.
Reducing and Identifying Traffic Delays
The Federal Aviation Administration
uses part 234 data to pinpoint and
analyze air traffic delays. Wheels-up
and wheels-down times are used in
conjunction with departure and arrival
times to show the extent of ground
delays. Actual elapsed flight time,
wheels-down minus wheels-up time, is
compared to scheduled elapsed flight
time to identify airborne delays. The
reporting of aircraft tail number allows
the FAA to track an aircraft through the
air network, which enables the FAA to
study the ripple effects of delays at hub
airports. The data can be analyzed for
airport design changes, new equipment
purchases, the planning of new runways
or airports based on current and
projected airport delays, and traffic
levels. The identification of the reason
for delays allows the FAA, airport
operators, and air carriers to pinpoint
delays under their control.
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
regulatory and other administrative
matters.
