Title: Air Taxi and Commercial
Operator Airport Activity Survey.
Form Numbers: FAA Form 1800–31.
Type of Review: Clearance of a
renewal of an information collection.
Background: The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following

collection of information was published
on August 16, 2019 under FRN
document citation number 2019–0640.
The data collected through this survey
is the only source of data for charter and
nonscheduled passenger data by Part
135 operator (air taxis). The data
received on the form (either paper or
signed electronic copy) is then
incorporated into the Air Carrier
Activity Information System which is
used to determine whether an airport is
eligible for Airport Improvement
Program funds and for calculating
primary airport sponsor apportionment
as specified by title 49 United Stated
Code (U.S.C.) 47114. The data collected
on the form includes passenger
enplanements by carrier and by airport.
Passengers traveling on air taxis would
be overlooked entirely if this passenger
survey were not conducted. As a result,
many airports would not receive their
fair share of funds since there is
currently no other source for this type
of charter activity. On average,
approximately 100 operators respond
each year, reporting a total 1.1 million
passengers. This data is important to
those airports that struggle to meet the
2,500 and 10,000 passenger levels and
could not do so without the reporting of
the charter passengers.
Respondents: The voluntary survey is
sent through the U.S. Postal Service to
approximately 190 small on-demand
operators (certificated under Federal
Aviation Regulation Part 135) that have
reported activity in the last three years.
The form is also available on the FAA
website. Beginning with the calendar
year 2019 data, operators will be able to
access the form, electronically sign and
submit it to the FAA.
Frequency: Annually.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 1.5 hours per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: On
average, approximately 100 respondents
submit an annual response. The
cumulative total annual burden is
estimated to be 150 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on November
20, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective
December 11, 2015 and as amended
June 6, 2018, the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) assigned, and
the Ohio Department of Transportation
(ODOT) assumed, environmental
responsibilities for this project pursuant
to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given
that ODOT, has taken final agency
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by
issuing licenses, permits, and approvals
for the following highway project in the
State of Ohio. The project will improve
the existing 0.9-mile section of US 62
between State Route (SR) 43 (Market
Avenue) and the bridge over the Middle
Branch of Nimishillen Creek. The
project will reconstruct and relocate US
62 to the north of the existing alignment
to improve sight distance on the
eastbound curve and eliminate many
driveways directly accessing US 62. The
project will create cul-de-sacs at Gibbs
Avenue, Rowland Avenue, and Gross
Avenue (north side) and convert Maple
Avenue to a right-in/right-out access.
Most of the properties along the north
side of the existing US 62 alignment and
several properties along the south side
of US 62 around the Gibbs Avenue and
St. Elmo Avenue intersections will be
removed by the project. The existing
signalized intersections at Rowland
Avenue and Maple Avenue will be
removed. Direct access to (and across)
US 62 for the northern and southern
neighborhoods will be provided via a
new signalized intersection at St. Elmo
Avenue that will include street lighting,
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
compliant pedestrian cross walks, a
median refuge, and pedestrian signal
features. The St. Elmo signal will
provide access to a two-lane frontage
road that will be constructed south of
the new US 62 alignment to provide
access to the businesses and residences
on the south side of US 62 between
Gibbs Avenue and St. Elmo Avenue.
US 62 will be reconstructed as a fourlane roadway (two lanes in each
direction) with additional auxiliary
lanes and turn lanes added to provide
an acceptable level of service at the new
PO 00000

St. Elmo Avenue signalized intersection.
In the eastbound direction, an auxiliary
lane will begin at the SR 43 entrance
ramp and continue east to tie into the
existing Harrisburg intersection right
turn lane. Heading westbound, an
auxiliary lane will travel from just east
of the St. Elmo intersection to 30th
Street NE, providing direct access from
US 62 to 30th Street NE. With the
addition of the auxiliary lanes described
above, the majority of proposed US 62
within the project limits will resemble
a six-lane roadway with three eastbound
lanes and three west bound lanes.
Center-left turn lanes will also be
provided on both eastbound and
westbound US 62 at the signalized
intersection with St. Elmo Avenue.
The west and east ends of the project
are designed at a 50 mile per hour (mph)
design speed transitioning to a 45 mph
design speed between Rowland Avenue
and Maple Avenue to accommodate the
signalized intersection and pedestrian
crossing at St. Elmo Avenue. Various
design elements will be incorporated
into the project between Rowland
Avenue and Maple Avenue including
reduced shoulder width, landscaping,
and signing to comply with the reduced
design speed.
A new storm sewer system will be
provided to collect the drainage along
US 62 and the frontage road to be
constructed south of the new US 62
alignment. The project will reconstruct
the existing storm water conduit and an
outfall to the Middle Branch of
Nimishillen Creek south of the existing
US 62 roadway embankment and
construct a new storm sewer north of
US 62 which will also discharge into the
Middle Branch of Nimishillen Creek.
Based upon the ability to meet the
purpose and need of the project, public
comments, and impacts to the natural
and human environment, ODOT
selected Alternative G1–d3a, presented
in the March 2017 Feasibility Study, as
the Preferred Alternative selected for the
July 2018 Environmental Assessment for
the project. The Preferred Alternative
meets the safety needs of the project and
maintains access to US 62 for the nearby
neighborhoods and commercial
properties.
Following the Public Hearing and 30day comment period for the July 2018
Environmental Assessment, the project
team conducted further investigation
and analyses on the Preferred
Alternative (G1–d3a) as part of the
public involvement process and
consideration of Performance Based
Practical Design (PBPD) initiative.
Through this exercise, the project team
identified design changes that minimize
access and right-of-way impacts and
