Total Burden per Response: 20 hours.
Total Annual Burden: 3,360 hours.
Needs and Uses:
Consumer Information
Part 234 gives air travelers
information concerning the on-time
performance history of flights that they
are considering booking and the rate of
mishandled baggage for each reporting
carrier. The reports are filed by the 14
largest scheduled-service U.S. passenger
carriers.
On July 15, 2011 the Department
published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing to
change the manner in which baggage
data are reported (see 76 FR 41726). The
proposed rule would require carriers to
report, (1) the number of mishandled
checked bags (as opposed to the current
requirement to report the number of
mishandled baggage reports filed by
passengers), (2) the total number of
checked bags (as opposed to the current
requirement to report the total number
of enplaned passengers), (3) the number
of mishandled wheelchairs and scooters
used by passengers with disabilities that
were carried in the cargo compartment,
and (4) the total number of wheelchairs
and scooters used by passengers with
disabilities that were carried in the
cargo compartment. In the preamble to
that notice the Department stated that
the change in the matrix to mishandled
bags per unit of checked bags would
give consumers more reliable
information on the air carriers’
performance regarding the treatment of
baggage within their control. Under the
current system, there is no direct
relationship between the number of
mishandled bags and the number of
checked bags. With the institution of
baggage fees, the number of checked
bags at some carriers has declined by 40
to 50 percent. There has been a
corresponding 40 percent decline (i.e.
improvement) in the industry
mishandled baggage rates. A large part
of the improvement in the mishandled
baggage rate appears to be related to the
decrease in checked baggage, although
the current matrix hides this fact. The
proposed matrix would have a direct
correlation between mishandled baggage
and checked baggage.
Separate breakout of mishandled
wheelchairs/scooters would assist
passengers with mobility disabilities in
selecting air carriers with high
probabilities in meeting their special
needs. There is a gap in the
Department’s data regarding the
mishandling of wheelchairs and
scooters. The proposed data will
VerDate Mar<15>2010

provide information to passenger with
disabilities on which air carriers best
meet their special needs. Thus, this
pending rulemaking may impact this
information collection.
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.
Administrative Issues
The Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501) 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.
