Background: 49 U.S.C. 41112
provides that an air carrier may not be

authority unless it has filed with DOT
evidence that it possesses insurance in
accordance with DOT regulations. 14
CFR Part 205 establishes procedures for

filing evidence of liability insurance for
air carriers, and contains the minimum
requirements for air carrier accident
liability insurance to protect the public
from losses. This insurance information
is submitted to DOT using OST Form
6410 (U.S. air carriers) or OST Form
6411 (foreign air carriers).
Currently, OST Forms 6410 and 6411
are electronically available to the
public; however, they cannot be filled
out electronically. DOT is proposing to
amend these forms so that they can be
filled out electronically and saved for
future amendments. However, these
amended forms will still require original
signatures and may not be filed
electronically with DOT. By using
fillable forms, DOT expects that most
respondents will reduce their response
times by half.
Approximately 5,308 air carriers
(4,604 U.S. and 704 foreign) are
registered with DOT. Generally, air
carriers file insurance certificates
annually, coinciding with the term of
their insurance policy. However,
approximately one in three of these
respondents will amend their insurance
certificates during the course of the
year, usually to add or remove covered
aircraft. Thus, DOT expects 7,059
responses to be filed each year (6,123
U.S. and 936 foreign).
Further, DOT expects 95 percent of
the responses (6,706 responses) to be
completed using the fillable form,
which requires 15 minutes to complete,
and 5 percent of the responses (353
responses) to be completed manually
requiring 30 minutes, for a total of 1,854
burden hours.
Respondents: U.S. and foreign air
carriers.
Number of Respondents: 5,308.
Frequency: On occasion.
Number of Responses: 7,059.
Total Annual Burden: 1,854 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for DOT’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for DOT to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
