Scoping and Public Involvement
In accordance with NEPA, the FRA
and MDOT invite comments and
suggestions regarding the scope of the
EIS from all interested parties to ensure
that all issues are addressed, all
reasonable alternatives are considered,
and any significant issues are identified.
In particular, FRA is interested in
identifying areas of environmental
concern where there might be a
potential for significant impacts. Public
agencies with jurisdiction are requested
to advise FRA and MDOT of the
applicable permit and environmental
review requirements of each agency,
and the scope and content of the
environmental information that is
germane to the agency’s statutory
responsibilities in connection with the
Project. Federal agencies with
jurisdiction by law or special expertise
with respect to potential environmental
issues will be requested to act as a
Cooperating Agency in accordance with
40 CFR 1501.16.
In coordination with FRA, MDOT will
lead the outreach activities beginning
with scoping meetings (dates to be
determined). Public involvement
initiatives including public meetings,
access to a Web site, and outreach will
continue throughout the EIS process.
Opportunities for public participation
will be announced through mailings,
notices, advertisements, press releases,
and a FRA-hosted EIS Web page,
accessible at https://www.fra.dot.gov/
Page/P0214. One or more public
hearings will be held after the Draft EIS
is released and made available for
public and agency review. Public notice
will be given for the time and place of
public hearings.
Comments or questions concerning
the Proposed Action and the scope of
the EIS are invited from all interested
parties and should be directed to the
FRA at the address provided above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
Modernization and Reform Act, which
was signed into law on February 14,
2012, required 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 emergency contingency plans for
lengthy tarmac delays to the Secretary of
Transportation for review and approval
no later than May 14, 2012. The Act also
required each covered carrier and
airport to ensure public access to its
plan after DOT approval by posting the
plan on its Web site. In addition to
requiring the initial submission of
emergency contingency plans, the Act
requires U.S. carriers to submit an
updated plan every 3 years. Further, the
Act requires airport operators to submit
an updated plan every 5 years. The
information collection requirements are
specifically required by statute and are
not being imposed as an exercise of the
Department’s discretion.
On April 16, 2012, the Department
submitted to OMB for review and
clearance information collection
requests regarding submission of the
plans and OMB approved this
information collection. The Department
then issued a notice in the Federal
Register stating how covered U.S.
carriers and airports should submit the
required plans to the Department
through an online system (77 FR 27267,
May 9, 2012). The Department intends
to ask for a renewal of the OMB control
number for U.S. carriers and airport
operators to submit plan updates.
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 monetary penalty for failing to

Notice of Submission of Proposed
Information Collection to OMB

ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended) this
notice announces the Department of
Transportation’s (Department) intention
to request the renewal of an Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
number for the collection of emergency
contingency plans for tarmac delays
from U.S. carriers and U.S. airports as
required by the FAA Modernization and
Reform Act (Act). On April 16, 2012, the
Department of Transportation submitted
to OMB for review and clearance
utilizing emergency review procedures
information collection requests related
to the submission by U.S. carriers and
U.S. airports of tarmac delay
contingency plans for review and
approval by the Department, as well as
the public posting of those plans, as set

Department a control number
authorizing these new collections of
information until November 30, 2012

DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by August 3, 2015. Interested
persons are invited to submit comments
regarding this proposal.

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.
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.
Title: Filing of Tarmac Delay Plan to
DOT.
Respondents: Each large, medium,
small and non-hub airport in the U.S.;
U.S. carriers that operate scheduled
passenger service or public charter
service using any aircraft with a design
capacity of 30 or more seats.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
420 U.S. airports and 65 U.S. airlines.
Frequency: Every 5 years for covered
U.S. airports; every 3 years for covered
U.S. airlines.
Estimated Total Burden on
Respondents: For U.S. airports—247.5
hours (25 airports not covered in 2012
× 2 hours) + (395 existing airports × .5
hours) = 247.5 hours. This estimate is
based on the following facts: Tarmac
delay plans for submission are general
in nature and do not consist of extensive
airport-specific customization. Airport
associations have prepared templates for
use by U.S. airports which require very
little additional information to be
customized for individual airports.
Airport associations’ templates have
been the template for most of the airport
plans submitted. For an airport that had
not prepared and submitted a plan to
meet the requirement in 2012 (25
airports), we estimate 2 hours to review
the templates, to prepare by entering the
airport-specific information, and to
submit the plan through the
Department’s electronic submission
system. We estimate there are or will be
approximately 25 airports that will be
newly covered by the Act by the next
submission deadline and that did not
previously submit plans to meet the
requirement in 2012.1 For U.S. airports
1 These estimates are based on currently available
data. Our estimates assume that the number of
covered airports will increase between 2012 and
2017 so that there will be a larger number of
covered airports by the date of the next submission
requirement for covered airports in 2017. There
were approximately 395 airports that were coverend
in 2012. Based on current FAA data, it appears that
approximately 416 airports now meet the threshold
of the Act that requires them to submit plans.
https://www.faa.gov/airports/planning_capacity/
passenger_allcargo_stats/passenger/media/cy13commercial-service-enplanements.pdf. Based on
fluctuations in airport traffic combined with the
recent trend of increasing air traffic, we anticipate
that approximately 25 airports that were not
