SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No. 2106–0035.
Title: Foreign Air Carrier Application
for Statement of Authorization.
Form No.: Form OST 4540.
Type of Review: Reinstatement of a
Previously Approved Information
Collection.
Respondents: Foreign Air Carriers.
Number of Respondents:
Approximately 100.
Estimated Time per Response: 2.25
hours per application.
Total Annual Burden: 1,000 hours.
Abstract: Applicants use Form OST
4540 to request statements of
authorization to conduct numerous
types of operations authorized under 14
CFR part 212. The form requires basic
information regarding the carrier(s)
conducting the operation, the party
filing the form, the operations being
conducted, the number of third- and
fourth-freedom flights conducted in the
last twelve-month period, and
certification of reciprocity from the
carrier’s homeland government. DOT
analysts will use the information
collected to determine if applications
for fifth-freedom operations meet the
public interest requirements necessary
to authorize such applications.
Burden Statement: We estimate that
the industry-wide total hour burden for
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:38 Aug 11, 2022
Jkt 256001
this collection to be approximately
1,000 hours or approximately 2.25 hours
per application. Conservatively, we
estimate the compilation of background
information will require 1.75 hours, and
the completion and submission of OST
Form 4540 will require thirty (30)
minutes. Reporting the number of thirdand fourth-freedom operations
conducted by an applicant carrier will
require collection of flight data, and
detailed analysis to determine which
flights conducted by the carrier are
third- and fourth-freedom. Applicants
should be able to use data collected for
the Department’s T–100 program to
provide this information (under this
program, carriers are required
periodically to compile and report
certain traffic data to the Department, as
more fully described in the Docket
referenced in footnote 1 below). The
Bureau of Transportation Statistics
(BTS) provide carriers with a computer
program that allows them to compile
and monitor, among other things, flight
origin and destination data, to be used
in making the carriers’ T–100
submissions.1 We estimated that carriers
will require 1.25 hours per application 2
to compile and analyze the data
necessary to disclose the number of
third- and fourth-freedom flights
conducted within the twelve-month
period preceding the filing of an
application.
Foreign carriers will also have to
provide evidence that their homeland
government will afford reciprocity to
U.S. carriers seeking authority for the
similar fifth-, sixth- and seventhfreedom operations. Carriers may cite
certifications submitted by carriers from
the same homeland if that homeland
issued such certification within the
preceding six-month period.
Approximately 100 carriers from
roughly 30 distinct homelands use OST
Form 4540 to apply for statements of
authorization annually. We estimate
that one foreign carrier from any given
homeland will expend roughly 4 hours
every six-months to obtain certification
1 The
rule-making associated with the T–100
program can be found on the Federal Docket
Management System (FDMS) at https://
www.regulations.gov, in Docket DOT–OST–1998–
4043. Information regarding burden hours is on file
in the Office of Aviation Analysis (X–50).
2 The Office of Aviation Analysis (X–50)
estimated that small-carriers would require 1
burden hour per report, and large carriers would
require 3 burden hours per report to analyze and
report T–100 program data. Considering that the
data required in this information collection can be
derived from data already collected, we have taken
an average of the estimated time required, and
conservatively shortened the time by 45 minutes
because no new data entry will be required.

from its homeland governments.3 We
have apportioned 30 minutes to each
application to account for the time
required to obtain certifications from
homeland governments.
We have no empirical data to indicate
how much time is required for a person
to complete OST Form 4540; however,
anecdotal evidence reveals that
respondents spend thirty (30) minutes
or less completing the form and brief
justification. In some cases, respondents
spend a limited amount of time, less
than ten (10) minutes, reviewing the
form before sending it via facsimile or
email to the Department. In the interest
of providing a conservative estimate so
as to not understate the burden hours,
we estimate the hour burden for
completing OST Form 4540 as thirty
(30) minutes.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the Office of the
Secretary’s performance; (2) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (3)
ways for the Office of the Secretary to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
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.
