SUMMARY: [Public Notice 7847] Jkt 226001 PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The FAA Modernization and Reform Act, which was signed into law on February 14, 2012, requires U.S. carriers that operate scheduled passenger service or public charter service using any aircraft with a design capacity of 30 or more seats, and operators of large hub, medium hub, small hub, or non-hub U.S. airports to submit contingency plans for lengthy tarmac delays to the Secretary of Transportation for review and approval no later than May 14, 2012. The Act also requires each covered carrier and airport to ensure public access to its plan after DOT approval by posting the plan on its Web site. The Department notes that these information collection requirements are specifically required by statute and are not being imposed as an exercise of the Department’s discretion. The Department seeks OMB approval for the submission and posting of these plans under the PRA emergency clearance process because use of the normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to cause the May 14 statutory deadline for submission of plans to be missed. The Department has established a Web address for the filing of contingency plans to enable covered U.S. airlines and airports to easily submit their required plans through the World Wide Web. Once OMB approves this information collection, the Department intends to issue a notice that provides information on how covered U.S. carriers and airports can submit the required plans to the Department through the World Wide Web. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the collection of information does not display a valid OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. This notice addresses two new information collection requirements concerning tarmac delays as a result of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act. For each of these information collections, the title, a description of the respondents, and an estimate of the annual recordkeeping and periodic reporting burden are set forth below: 1. Requirement to submit tarmac delay plan to DOT for review and approval.

Estimated Total Burden on Respondents: 107 hours and 15 minutes (Average of 15 minutes per respondent to post plan on Web site).

As noted above, the Department intends to provide a portal for electronic submission of the required information. All comments will also become a matter of public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA Modernization and Reform Act, which 
was signed into law on February 14, 2012, requires U.S. carriers that 
operate scheduled passenger service or public charter service using any 
aircraft with a design capacity of 30 or more seats, and operators of 
large hub, medium hub, small hub, or non-hub U.S. airports to submit 
contingency plans for lengthy tarmac delays to the Secretary of 
Transportation for review and approval no later than May 14, 2012. The 
Act also requires each covered carrier and airport to ensure public 
access to its plan after DOT approval by posting the plan on its Web 
site. The Department notes that these information collection 
requirements are specifically required by statute and are not being 
imposed as an exercise of the Department's discretion. The Department 
seeks OMB approval for the submission and posting of these plans under 
the PRA emergency clearance process because use of the normal clearance 
procedures is reasonably likely to cause the May 14 statutory deadline 
for submission of plans to be missed. The Department has established a 
Web address for the filing of contingency plans to enable covered U.S. 
airlines and airports to easily submit their required plans through the 
World Wide Web. Once OMB approves this information collection, the 
Department intends to issue a notice that provides information on how 
covered U.S. carriers and airports can submit the required plans to the

be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of

    This notice addresses two new information collection requirements 
concerning tarmac delays as a result of the FAA Modernization and 
Reform Act. For each of these information collections, the title, a 
description of the respondents, and an estimate of the annual 
recordkeeping and periodic reporting burden are set forth below:
