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 accepted 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.
Total Annual Burden: 891.
Frequency of Responses:
245 (respondents) × 4 = 980
401 (amendments from the same
respondents) × 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

responses (forms) are required for
amendments. The separate hour burden
estimate is as follows:
Total Annual Burden: 891 hours.
Approximately 1,782 (responses) × 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.

collection was published on April 21,
