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 data collected through this survey is the only source of data for charter and nonscheduled passenger data 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.), section 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 70 operators respond each year, reporting a total 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: A cover letter and instructions are sent through the United Parcel Service. The cover letter and instructions provide the carriers with the Airports External Portal (faa.gov) (AEP) site and the password for the voluntary Airport Activity Survey form. The cover letter and password for the Airport Activity Survey form is sent to approximately 150 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. We allowed electronic submittals of the voluntary survey beginning with calendar year 2020 data.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), and Multnomah County (County) propose to undertake the seismic improvement of the Burnside Bridge over the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. Federal cooperating agencies in the preparation of the FEIS and ROD include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Coast Guard. The EQRB Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) included a NoBuild Alternative and four build alternatives. It identified one build alternative (the Long-span Alternative) as the Preferred Alternative. Following the issuance of the Draft EIS, additional cost and funding analysis identified a substantial risk that the construction costs of any of the build alternatives would exceed $1 billion. The Selected Alternative is anticipated to cost between $830 to $915 million. This risk led the County to direct the project team to identify and evaluate ways to reduce the Project’s construction costs while still meeting the Project’s purpose and need and striving to achieve the other SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\31JAN1.SGM 31JAN1
