protection. As a matter of enforcement
policy, the Office of Aviation
Enforcement and Proceedings will not
take action against Public Charter
applicants (including public charter
operators, direct air carriers and
securers) that do not submit an original
and two copies of a charter prospectus
so long as (1) the Public Charter
applicant submits fully completed and
signed electronic copies of the original
documents of OST Forms 4532, 4533,
4534, and, if applicable, 4535 (including
signatures); and (2) the Public Charter
applicant continues to submit original
financial documents such as Letters of
Credit, Surety Trust Agreements, and
Surety Bonds.
Burden Statement: Completion of all
forms in a prospectus can be
accomplished in approximately two
hours (30 minutes per form) for new
filers and one hour for amendments
(existing filings). The forms are
simplified and request only basic
information about the proposed
programs and the private sector filer.
The respondent can submit a filing to
operate for up to one year and include
as many flights as desired, in most
cases. If an operator chooses to make
changes to a previously approved
charter operation, then the operator is
required by regulations to file revisions
to its original prospectus.
Respondents: Private Sector: Air
carriers; tour operators; the general
public (including groups and
individuals, corporations and
Universities or Colleges, etc.).
Number of Respondents: 245.
Number of Responses: 1,782.
Total Annual Burden: 891.

Frequency of Responses
245 (respondents) × 4 = 980
401 (amendments from the same
respondents) × 2 = 802
Total estimated responses: 980 + 802 =
1,782
The frequency of response is
dependent upon whether the operator is
requesting a new program or amending
an existing prospectus. Variations occur
due to the respondents’ criteria. On
average four responses (forms 4532,
4533, 4534 and/or 4535) are required for
filing new prospectuses and two of the
responses (forms) are required for
amendments. The separate hour burden
estimate is as follows:
Total Annual Burden: 891 hours.
Approximately 1,782 (responses) × 0.50
(per form) = 891
Public Comments Invited: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department,
