Title: Reporting Requirements for
Disability-Related Complaints.
Type of Request: Renewal of
information collections.
Background: On July 8, 2003, the
Office of the Secretary published a final
rule that requires most certificated U.S.
and foreign air carriers operating to,
from and within the U.S. that conduct
passenger-carrying service utilizing at
least one large aircraft to record
complaints that they receive alleging
inadequate accessibility or
discrimination on the basis of disability.
The carriers must also categorize these
complaints according to the type of
disability and nature of complaint,
prepare a summary report annually of
the complaints received during the
preceding calendar year, submit the
report to the Department’s Aviation
Consumer Protection Division, and
retain copies of correspondence and
records of action taken on the reported
complaints for three years. The rule
requires carriers to submit their annual
report via the World Wide Web except
if the carrier can demonstrate an undue
burden by doing so and receives
permission from the Department to
submit it in an alternative manner. The
first required report covered disabilityrelated complaints received by carriers
during calendar year 2004, was due to
the Department on January 31, 2005.
Carriers have since submitted
subsequent reports by the last Monday
in January for the prior calendar year.

information collection and respondents,
and the periodic reporting burden are
set forth below for each of the
information collected.

1951–1959, and 31 U.S.C. 5311–5314
and 5316–5332, authorizes the Secretary
of the Treasury, among other things, to
require financial institutions to keep
records and file reports that are
determined to have a high degree of
usefulness in criminal, tax, and
regulatory matters or in the conduct of
intelligence or counter-intelligence
activities to protect against international
terrorism, and to implement countermoney laundering programs and
compliance procedures.1 Title III of the
USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, Pub. L.
107–56, included certain amendments
to the anti-money laundering provisions
of Title II of the BSA, 31 U.S.C. 5311 et
seq., which are intended to aid in the
prevention, detection, and prosecution
of international money laundering and
terrorist financing.
Regulations implementing Title II of
the BSA appear at 31 CFR Chapter X.
The authority of the Secretary of the
Treasury to administer Title II of the
BSA has been delegated to the Director

identification, investigation, and
prosecution of money laundering and
other matters.
Under 31 U.S.C. 5314, the Secretary is
authorized to require any ‘‘resident or
citizen of the United States or a person
in, and doing business in, the United
States, to . . . keep records and file
reports, when the resident, citizen, or
person makes a transaction or maintains
a relation for any person with a foreign
financial agency.’’ The term ‘‘foreign
financial agency’’ encompasses the
activities found in the statutory
definition of ‘‘financial agency,’’ 2 which
means, in pertinent part, ‘‘a person
acting for a person as a financial
institution, bailee, depository trustee, or
agent, or acting in a similar way related
to money, credit, securities, gold, or a
transaction in money, credit, securities,
or gold.’’ 3 The Secretary is also
authorized to prescribe exemptions to
the reporting requirement and to
prescribe other matters the Secretary
considers necessary to carry out section
5314.
Pursuant to the authority in section
5314, 31 CFR 1010.350 generally
requires each U.S. person having a
financial interest in, or signature or
other authority over, a bank, securities,
or other financial account in a foreign
country to report such relationship to
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
for each year in which such relationship
exists, and to provide and report such
information specified in a reporting
form prescribed under 31 U.S.C. 5314.
Section 1010.350 provides certain
exceptions from reporting. FinCEN
Form 114 (the FBAR) is the form used
to file the required information. The
recordkeeping requirements associated
with foreign financial accounts required
to be reported under section 1010.350
are set forth in 31 CFR 1010.420.
Specifically, filers must retain records of
such accounts for a period of 5 years
and make the records available for
inspection as authorized by law.4
