ADDRESSES: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Submission of U.S. Carrier and Airport Tarmac Delay Emergency Contingency Plans Pursuant to FAA Modernization and Reform Act. OMB Control Number: 2105–0566. Type of Request: Request to reinstate OMB control number 2105–0566. Abstract: 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. On May 2, 2012, OMB approved information collection of the reports on an emergency basis due to the short timeframe imposed by the Act. The Department created an online system allowing covered U.S. air carriers and U.S. airports to submit plans online and issued a notice in the Federal Register stating how these entities should submit the required plans to the Department through the online system (77 FR 27267, May 9, 2012). Pursuant to the requirements of the Act, the Department reviewed and approved emergency contingency plans submitted by over 450 covered air carriers and airports. In addition to requiring the initial submission of emergency contingency plans, the Act requires U.S. air carriers to submit an updated plan every 3 years E:\FR\FM\17JNN1.SGM 17JNN1 sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 117 / Friday, June 17, 2016 / Notices and U.S. airport operators to submit an updated plan every 5 years and to ensure public access to those plans after DOT approval. The emergency approval terminated on November 30, 2012. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to issue two notices seeking public comment on information collection activities before OMB may approve paperwork packages. 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5, 1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On June 2, 2015, OST published a 60-day notice in the Federal Register soliciting comment on ICRs for which the agency was seeking OMB approval. See 80 FR 105 at 31455. OST received no comments after issuing this notice. Accordingly, the Department announces that these information collection activities have been reevaluated and certified under 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12(c). Before OMB decides whether to approve these proposed collections of information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5 CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires OMB to approve or disapprove paperwork packages between 30 and 60 days after the 30-day notice is published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)–(c); 5 CFR 1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983 (Aug. 29, 1995). The 30-day notice informs the regulated community to file relevant comments to OMB and affords the agency adequate time to digest public comments before it renders a decision. 60 FR 44983 (Aug. 29, 1995). Therefore, respondents should submit their respective comments to OMB within 30 days of publication to best ensure their full consideration. 5 CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983 (Aug. 29, 1995). 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Submission of U.S. Carrier and Airport Tarmac Delay 
Emergency Contingency Plans Pursuant to FAA Modernization and Reform 
Act.
    OMB Control Number: 2105-0566.
    Type of Request: Request to reinstate OMB control number 2105-0566.
    Abstract: 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.
    On May 2, 2012, OMB approved information collection of the reports 
on an emergency basis due to the short timeframe imposed by the Act. 
The Department created an online system allowing covered U.S. air 
carriers and U.S. airports to submit plans online and issued a notice 
in the Federal Register stating how these entities should submit the 
required plans to the Department through the online system (77 FR 
27267, May 9, 2012). Pursuant to the requirements of the Act, the 
Department reviewed and approved emergency contingency plans submitted 
by over 450 covered air carriers and airports.
    In addition to requiring the initial submission of emergency 
contingency plans, the Act requires U.S. air carriers to submit an 
updated plan every 3 years

[[Page 39751]]

and U.S. airport operators to submit an updated plan every 5 years and 
to ensure public access to those plans after DOT approval. The 
emergency approval terminated on November 30, 2012.
    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its implementing 
regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to issue two 
notices seeking public comment on information collection activities 
before OMB may approve paperwork packages. 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 
1320.5, 1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On June 2, 2015, OST published a 60-day 
notice in the Federal Register soliciting comment on ICRs for which the 
agency was seeking OMB approval. See 80 FR 105 at 31455. OST received 
no comments after issuing this notice. Accordingly, the Department 
announces that these information collection activities have been re-
evaluated and certified under 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for 
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12(c).
    Before OMB decides whether to approve these proposed collections of 
information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. 44 U.S.C. 
3507(b); 5 CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires OMB to approve or 
disapprove paperwork packages between 30 and 60 days after the 30-day 
notice is published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)-(c); 5 CFR 1320.12(d); see also 
60 FR 44978, 44983 (Aug. 29, 1995). The 30-day notice informs the 
regulated community to file relevant comments to OMB and affords the 
agency adequate time to digest public comments before it renders a 
decision. 60 FR 44983 (Aug. 29, 1995). Therefore, respondents should 
submit their respective comments to OMB within 30 days of publication 
to best ensure their full consideration. 5 CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 
FR 44983 (Aug. 29, 1995).
    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.

airlines.
    Frequency: Every 5 years for covered U.S. airports; every 3 years

airports x .5 hours = 197.5 hours). For U.S. airlines--40 hours (60 
existing airlines x .5 hours = 30 hours) + (5 new airlines x 2 hours = 
10 hours).
    2. Requirement to post tarmac delay plan on Web sites.
    Respondents: Each large, medium, small and non-hub airport in the 
U.S.; U.S. carriers that operate scheduled passenger service or public

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. All comments will also become a matter of public record.
