Type of Review: Extension of a Previously Approved Collection: The PO 00000 Frm 00113 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 54945 current OMB inventory has not changed. Abstract: 14 CFR part 380 establishes regulations embodying the Department’s terms and conditions for Public Charter operators to conduct air transportation using direct air carriers. Public Charter operators arrange transportation for groups of people on chartered aircraft. This arrangement is often less expensive for the travelers than individually buying a ticket. Part 380 exempts charter operators from certain provisions of the U.S. code in order that they may provide this service. A primary goal of Part 380 is to seek protection for the consumer. Accordingly, the rule stipulates that the charter operator must file evidence (a prospectus—consisting of OST Forms 4532, 4533, 4534, 4535, and supporting financial documents) with the Department for each charter program certifying that it has entered into a binding contract with a direct air carrier to provide air transportation and that it has also entered into agreements with Department-approved financial institutions for the protection of charter participants’ funds. The prospectus must be approved by the Department prior to the operator’s advertising, selling or operating the charter. If the prospectus information were not collected it would be extremely difficult to assure compliance with agency rules and to assure that public security and other consumer protection requirements were in place for the traveling public. The information collected is available for public inspection (unless the respondent specifically requests confidential treatment). Part 380 does not provide any assurances of confidentiality. 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. E:\FR\FM\11OCN1.SGM 11OCN1 54946 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 198 / Friday, October 11, 2019 / Notices jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES Total Annual Burden: 891.

    Title: Public Charters, 14 CFR part 380.
    Form Numbers: 4532, 4533, 4534, 4535.
    Type of Review: Extension of a Previously Approved Collection: The 
current OMB inventory has not changed.
    Abstract: 14 CFR part 380 establishes regulations embodying the 
Department's terms and conditions for Public Charter operators to 
conduct air transportation using direct air carriers. Public Charter 
operators arrange transportation for groups of people on chartered 
aircraft. This arrangement is often less expensive for the travelers 
than individually buying a ticket. Part 380 exempts charter operators 
from certain provisions of the U.S. code in order that they may provide 
this service. A primary goal of Part 380 is to seek protection for the 
consumer. Accordingly, the rule stipulates that the charter operator 
must file evidence (a prospectus--consisting of OST Forms 4532, 4533, 
4534, 4535, and supporting financial documents) with the Department for 
each charter program certifying that it has entered into a binding 
contract with a direct air carrier to provide air transportation and 
that it has also entered into agreements with Department-approved 
financial institutions for the protection of charter participants' 
funds. The prospectus must be approved by the Department prior to the 
operator's advertising, selling or operating the charter. If the 
prospectus information were not collected it would be extremely 
difficult to assure compliance with agency rules and to assure that 
public security and other consumer protection requirements were in 
place for the traveling public. The information collected is available 
for public inspection (unless the respondent specifically requests 
confidential treatment). Part 380 does not provide any assurances of 
confidentiality.
    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.

[[Page 54946]]

    Total Annual Burden: 891.
    Frequency of Responses:

245 (respondents) x 4 = 980
401 (amendments from the same respondents) x 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) x 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, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, by 
the use of electronic means, including the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology. All responses to 
this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB 
approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record.
