SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 December 20, 2018, OST
published a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register soliciting comment on ICRs for
which the agency was seeking OMB
approval. See 83 FR 65393. OST
received no comments after issuing this
notice. Accordingly, the Department has
not made any changes to its anticipated
burden hours for the respondents to
comply with these requirements. The
Department announces that these
information collection activities have
been re-evaluated and certified under 5
CFR. 1320.5(a) and is forwarding 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). OMB believes that the
30-day notice informs the regulated
community to file relevant comments
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). The
summaries below describe the nature of
the ICR and the expected burden.
OMB Control Number: 2105–0551.
Title: Reporting Requirements for
Disability-Related Complaints.
Type of Request: Renewal of
Information Collection.
Background: On July 8, 2003, the
Office of the Secretary published a final
rule that requires 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, which was
due to the Department on January 31,
2005. Carriers have been required to
submit all subsequent reports on the last
Monday in January for the prior
calendar year. On March 7, 2016, OMB
approved information collection of
disability-related complaints,
‘‘Reporting Requirements for Disabilityrelated Complaints’’ through March 31,
2019. The application to renew this
information collection request was
published in the Federal Register on
Thursday, December 20, 2018, 83 FR
65393.
Respondents: Certificated U.S. and
foreign air carriers operating to, from,
