SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval No. 2138–0006
Title: Preservation of Air carrier
Records—14 CFR Part 249.
Form No.: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Certificated air carriers
and charter operators.
Number of Respondents: 90
certificated air carriers and 300 charter
operators.
Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours
per certificated air carrier. 1 hour per
charter operator.
Total Annual Burden: 570 hours.
Needs and Uses: Part 249 requires the
retention of records such as: general and
subsidiary ledgers, journals and journal
vouchers, voucher distribution registers,
accounts receivable and payable
journals and ledgers, subsidy records
documenting underlying financial and
statistical reports to DOT, funds reports,
consumer records, sales reports,
auditors’ and flight coupons, air
waybills, etc. Depending on the nature
of the document, the carrier may be
required to retain the document for a
period of 30 days to 3 years. Public
charter operators and overseas military
personnel charter operators must retain
documents which evidence or reflect
deposits made by each charter
participant and commissions received
by, paid to, or deducted by travel agents,
and all statements, invoices, bills and
receipts from suppliers or furnishers of
goods and services in connection with
the tour or charter. These records are
retained for 6 months after completion
of the charter program.
Not only is it imperative that carriers
and charter operators retain source
documentation, but it is critical that we
ensure that DOT has access to these
records. Given DOT’s established
information needs for such reports, the
underlying support documentation must
be retained for a reasonable period of
time. Absent the retention requirements,
the support for such reports may or may
not exist for audit/validation purposes
and the relevance and usefulness of the
carrier submissions would be impaired,
since the data could not be verified to
the source on a test basis.

The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, § 2, 109 Stat.
163 (1995) (codified as revised at 44
U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR Part
1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days notice to the public for
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically,
FRA invites interested respondents to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities regarding (i) Whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (ii)
the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the
burden of the information collection
activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (iii) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)(i)–(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(i)–(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information mandated
by Federal regulations. In summary,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

FRA reasons that comments received
will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it
organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (iii) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
Below is a brief summary of the
currently approved information
collection activities that FRA will
submit for clearance by OMB as
required under the PRA:
Title: Control of Alcohol and Drug
Use in Railroad Operations.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0526.
Abstract: The information collection
requirements contained in preemployment and ‘‘for cause’’ testing
regulations are intended to ensure a
sense of fairness and accuracy for
railroads and their employees. The
principal information—evidence of
unauthorized alcohol or drug use—is
used to prevent accidents by screening
personnel who perform safety-sensitive
service. FRA uses the information to
measure the level of compliance with
regulations governing the use of alcohol
or controlled substances. Elimination of
this problem is necessary to prevent
accidents, injuries, and fatalities of the
nature already experienced and further
reduce the risk of a truly catastrophic
accident. Finally, FRA analyzes the data
provided in the Management
Information System annual report to
monitor the effectiveness of a railroad’s
alcohol and drug testing program.
