Notice of OFAC Sanctions Actions, 42878-42879 [2017-19243]

Download as PDF 42878 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 175 / Tuesday, September 12, 2017 / Notices pmangrum on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1 enacted in 2010, carriers and ticket agents should already be complying with most of the requirements.1 The aspect of the provision which is new is the specification of when during a telephone or in-person booking process a carrier or ticket agent must disclose the code-share information, which may result in additional compliance costs for some carriers and ticket agents. Those additional costs would be borne by those carriers and ticket agents that currently do not present code-share information at the first mention of a flight during a reservation call or inperson booking. As such, these carriers and ticket agents may have slightly longer reservation calls and longer inperson bookings. However, the disclosure at a point during the information gathering and decisionmaking process was already required so the additional time, if any, would be minimal. In addition to costs for additional agent time during some calls and inperson bookings, some respondents may have a slight increase in their training costs, as they modify their trainings to note that code-share information must be shared when the flight is first presented to the consumer.2 These additional training costs are likely to be incurred only by those respondents which do not already present code-share information at the first mention of a flight. 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 penalty for failing to 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. This notice addresses the information collection requirements set forth in the Department’s regulation requiring disclosure of code-share and wet-leases, 1 The regulated entities that have a Web site should already have the required information programmed in their systems and that information should already appear on their Web sites. Thus, the incremental costs to add the information to mobile Web sites and applications should be small. To the extent there are any costs, they could be minimized if any necessary changes were incorporated at the same time as another upgrade. 2 The costs are minimal if this change is incorporated into agent curricula during the same time as other updates and/or sent in an update bulletin via the carrier’s/travel agent’s intranet system. VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:19 Sep 11, 2017 Jkt 241001 14 CFR 257. The reinstated OMB control number will be applicable to all the provisions set forth in this notice. The title, a description of the respondents, and an estimate of the annual recordkeeping and periodic reporting burden are set forth below: Title: Disclosure of Code-Sharing Arrangements and Long Term Wet Leases in Flight Itineraries and Schedules, Oral Communications with Prospective Consumers, Ticket Confirmations, and Advertisements. Respondents: All U.S. air carriers, foreign air carriers, Global Distribution Systems (GDSs, formerly known as computer reservations systems), and travel agents doing business in the United States. Number of Respondents: 5,031 (estimated 48 marketing carriers and 4,983 travel agents/GDSs). Frequency: For transactions involving oral communications: 15 seconds per call (to reveal the code-share information) and an average of 1.5 calls per trip (a total of 22.5 seconds per respondent) for the approximately 25% to 39% (using 2016 Bureau of Transportation Statistic’s ((BTS)) data) of itineraries that involve personal contact/phone call and a codeshare itinerary.3 For transactions involving written and internet disclosure: The burden should be minimal to non-existent as many airlines are already required to submit certain code-share related information to BTS 4 and/or already have code-share information available on their Web sites.5 In addition, the marketing airlines currently provide information about their code-share flights to the GDSs who, in turn, provide that information to travel agents. As the code-share information is integrated into the data provided by the airlines to GDSs and travel agents, the code-share information is automatically displayed 3 Per BTS data, there were 932 million enplanements in 2016 (34% of these flights involve a one-way ticket and 66% involve round-trip travel). It is estimated that 20% of these travelers make a call to an airline or travel agent to book a ticket or obtain information about a flight and each traveler will only need to obtain the information once per travel itinerary. Of those travel itineraries, 25% to 39% involve a code-share flight in which an agent must reveal that information. 4 Large U.S. carriers must provide BTS with information for the ‘‘Airline Passenger and Destination Survey.’’ The reported information must include the name of the marketing carrier, as well as the operating carrier of the flight (which may be a regional or foreign carrier). 5 For example, many ‘‘reporting’’ carriers (e.g., United Airlines) disclose on their Web sites on-time performance information for their domestic codeshare flights. PO 00000 Frm 00098 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 on the internet/computer, as well as on a printed version of an itinerary/ticket. Total Annual Burden: Annual reporting burden for this data collection is estimated at 195,138 to 304,415hours for all travel agents and airline ticket agents who have personal contact with a consumer. Most of this data collection is accomplished through travelers using highly automated computerized systems to make their air travel reservation(s) and the data is already available on the regulated entities Web sites and/or is programmed into their database/reservation systems. Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the Department’s performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for the Department to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information.
