SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: On-Line Complaint Form for Service-Related Issues in Air Transportation. OMB Control Number: 2105–0568. Type of Request: Request to reinstate OMB control number 2105–0568. Abstract: The Department of Transportation’s (Department) Office of the Assistant General Counsel for Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings (Enforcement Office) has broad authority under 49 U.S.C., subtitle VII, to investigate and enforce consumer protection and civil rights laws and regulations related to air transportation. The Enforcement Office, including its Aviation Consumer Protection Division (ACPD), monitors compliance with and investigates violations of the Department’s aviation economic, consumer protection, and civil rights requirements. Among other things, the office is responsible for receiving and investigating service-related consumer complaints filed against airlines and other travel-related companies. Once received, the complaints are reviewed by the office to determine the extent to which carriers are in compliance with federal aviation consumer protection and civil rights laws and what, if any, action should be taken. The key reason for this request is to enable consumers to continue to file their complaints (or comments) to the Department using an on-line form, whether using their personal computer or their mobile device. If the information collection form is not available, the Department may receive fewer complaints from consumers. The lack of information could inhibit the Departments’ ability to improve airline consumer satisfaction, effectively investigate individual complaints against an airline or other travel-related companies that have an air travel component, and/or determine patterns and practices that may develop in violation of our rules. The information collection also furthers the objectives of 49 U.S.C. 41712, 40101, 40127, 41702, and 41705 to protect consumers from unfair or deceptive practices, to protect the civil rights of air travelers, and to ensure safe and adequate service in air transportation. Filing a complaint using a web-based form is voluntary and minimizes the burden on the public. Consumers can also choose to file a complaint with the PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 Department by sending a letter using regular mail or by phone message. The type of information requested on the online form includes complainant’s name, address, home and/or daytime phone number (including area code) and email address, name of the airline or company about which she/he is complaining, flight date, flight number, and origin and destination cities of complainant’s trip. A consumer may also use the form to give a description of a specific problem or to ask for air-travel related information from the ACPD. The Department has limited its informational request to only that information necessary to meet its program and administrative monitoring and enforcement requirements. On February 6, 2015, the Department published a 60-day notice in the Federal Register (80 FR 6793–4) asking for comments on whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Department. We received one comment in the docket from a commenter who supported the Department collecting the information. Respondents: Consumers that Choose to File an On-Line Complaint with the Aviation Consumer Protection Division. Estimated Number of Respondents: 14,479 (based on CY 2014 data). Frequency: 1 submission per year. Estimated Burden per Response: 15 minutes. Estimated Total Burden on Respondents: 3,620 hours. Public Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Department, including whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the Department’s estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents without reducing the quality of the collection of information, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48. Issued in Washington, DC on May 28, 2015.
