Blossom Hill Road in San Jose and
North Fair Oaks Avenue in Sunnyvale.
The conversion of the HOV lanes to
express lanes would allow singleoccupant vehicles (SOVs) to pay a toll
to use the lanes, while HOVs would
continue to use the lanes for free. The
purpose of the project is to manage
traffic in the congested HOV segments
of the US 101 freeway between SR 85
and Oregon Expressway/Embarcadero
Road, and maintain consistency with
provisions defined in AB 2032 (2004)
and AB 574 (2007) to implement
express lanes in an HOV lane system in
Santa Clara County.
The express lanes would extend 36.55
miles in length on US 101 from
Cochrane Road in Morgan Hill to
Oregon Expressway/Embarcadero Road
in Palo Alto and 1.1 miles of SR–85
from the northern end of SR 85 to the
US 101/SR–85 interchange in Mountain
View. The project would also convert
the SR 85/US 101 HOV direct
connectors in Mountain View to express
lane connectors and add auxiliary lanes
in both directions on US 101 between
Great America Parkway and Lawrence
Expressway, and in the northbound
direction between Old Bayshore
Freeway and North First Street. The
total project length is 37.65 miles.
The actions by the Federal agencies,
and the laws under which such actions
were taken, are described in the Final
Environmental Assessment (EA)/
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) for the project, approved on
July 21, 2015, and in other documents

air transportation. On November 12,
2013, the Department published a final
rule amending its ACAA regulation, 14
CFR part 382, to require airlines to
ensure that the public facing Web pages
on their primary Web sites are
accessible to individuals with
disabilities. 78 FR 67882 (November 12,
2013). Covered carriers are U.S. and
foreign air carriers that operate at least
one aircraft having a designed seating
capacity of more than 60 passengers and

markets passenger air transportation or
a tour, or tour component that must be
purchased with air transportation, to the
general public in the United States.1
In accordance with the

U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended), this

1 While there are approximately 175 U.S. and
foreign air carriers that conduct passenger-carrying
service to, from, or in the United States with at least
one aircraft having a designed seating capacity of
more than 60 seats, not all of those carriers have
a primary Web site that markets passenger air
transportation to the general public in the U.S. After

The final rule established two new
information collection requirements that
are the subject of this notice. First, by
December 12, 2015, carriers must
provide an online mechanism for
passengers to request disability
accommodation services (e.g.,
enplaning/deplaning assistance, deaf/
hard of hearing communication
assistance, escort to service animal relief
area, etc.) for a particular flight. Second,
by December 12, 2016, carriers must
ensure that when a user activates a link
on a carrier’s primary Web site to
embedded third-party software or to an
external Web site, a disclaimer is
displayed notifying the user that the
application or Web site may not be
accessible. In the preamble of the final
rule, the Department described and
invited interested persons to submit
comments on any aspect of these new
information collections for 60 days. The
Department received no comments on
the information collections. This 30
notice is intended to give the public
additional time to comment.
database to store the information. The
revised final regulatory analysis (FRA)
estimated that it will take an average of
32 labor hours per carrier to develop,
implement, integrate, connect, and test
the online request form. Should carrier
associations or some other entity
develop a common request form that all
carriers could adapt and incorporate to
their Web sites, the initial costs per
carrier would be reduced.
Respondents: Certificated U.S. and
foreign air carriers operating to, from,
and within the United States that
operate at least one aircraft having a
seating capacity of more than 60
passengers and own or control a
primary Web site that markets air
transportation to the general public in
the U.S.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
135 U.S. and foreign carriers.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: 32 hours..
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
4,320 hours.
Frequency: One-time requirement.
1. Online Request for Disability
Accommodation
Type of Request: This is a new
information collection.
Form Number: There are no OST
forms associated with this collection.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: Each
carrier will provide a mechanism on its
Web site for passengers to request a
disability accommodation service for a
future flight and provide advance notice
of their request. Carriers may, but need
not, require passengers to include
contact information on the form in order
to follow-up and request more specific
information about the passengers’
accommodation needs. Carriers may
also use the aggregate data from the
online service requests to understand
and better plan for the volume and types
of service requests they receive across
time periods and routes, but also are not
required to do so.
While the content and design of the
online service request form is up to the
carriers, the Department anticipates that
each covered U.S. and foreign carrier
that markets scheduled air
transportation to the general public in
the United States would incur initial
costs associated with developing and
reviewing a design and implementation
plan for the request form, developing,
coding, and integrating the form into the
Web site, as well as testing, debugging,
and connecting the form with a backend
2. Web Site Accessibly Disclaimer
Notice
Type of Request: This is a new
information collection.
Form Number: There are no OST
forms associated with this collection.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use:
In order to be in conformance with
the accessibility standard required by
the final DOT rule, carriers must
provide a disclaimer notice for each link
on their primary Web site that enables
a user to access software or an external
Web site that is not in the carrier’s
control. The disclaimer notice must be
activated the first time a user clicks the
link and must notify the user that the
application/Web site is not within the
carrier’s control and may not follow the
same accessibility policies as the
primary Web site. The Department
anticipates that each covered U.S. and
foreign carrier that markets scheduled
air transportation to the general public
in the United States will incur costs
associated with identifying all links on
their Web sites that may require a
disclaimer such as developing and
reviewing the design and language for
the disclaimer notice, as well as
developing, testing, and deploying the
code to the appropriate Web pages.
The incremental labor hours
associated with providing the required
disclaimer may vary depending on the
number of links on the Web site to
which this requirement applies. The
FRA estimated that it will take an
average of 6 labor hours per carrier to
identify the links and then develop, test,
Department estimates that approximately 135 of
those 175 carriers are subject to the Department’s
Web-accessibility requirements.
