That does not excuse ARC—the manufacturer and designer of the inflators—from complying with its own obligations under the Safety Act and regulations. To address the risk that additional vehicle occupants will be killed and injured from these rupturing inflators, the agency has made this initial determination that the subject hybrid, toroidal inflators designed by ARC and manufactured by ARC and Delphi from 2000 through January 2018 are defective and pose an unreasonable risk of death or injury, and therefore should be recalled. Pursuant to the Safety Act, NHTSA may make a final decision ‘‘only after giving the manufacturer[s] an opportunity to present information, views, and arguments showing that there is no defect or noncompliance or that the defect does not affect motor vehicle safety. Any interested person also shall be given an opportunity to present information, views, and arguments.’’ 49 U.S.C. 30118(b)(1). If NHTSA makes a final decision that the subject inflators contain a safety defect, NHTSA will order ARC to comply with the obligation to file notice of the safety defect with the agency 18 and will order the vehicle manufacturers to carry out recalls by providing notice and a free remedy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 2106–0005. 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 SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\08SEN1.SGM 08SEN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 173 / Friday, September 8, 2023 / Notices 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 17:30 Sep 07, 2023 Jkt 259001 responses (forms) are required for amendments.

operators arrange transportation for groups of people on chartered

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

    Number of Responses: 1,782.
    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

amendments. The separate hour burden estimate is as follows:

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
