requesting Reinstatement of a
Previously Approved Collection:
Disclosure of Change-of-Gauge Services.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on

Leases.
Type of Review: Reinstatement of a
previously approved information
collection.
Abstract: Change-of-gauge service is
scheduled passenger air transportation
for which the operating carrier uses one
single flight number even though
passengers do not travel in the same
aircraft from origin to destination but

PO 00000

Frm 00072

must change planes at an intermediate
stop. In addition to one-flight-to-oneflight change-of-gauge services, changeof-gauge services can also involve
aircraft changes between multiple
flights on one side of the change point
and one single flight on the other side.
As with one-for-one change-of-gauge
services, the carrier assigns a single
flight number for the passenger’s entire
itinerary even though the passenger
changes planes, but in addition, the
single flight to or from the exchange
point itself has multiple numbers, one
for each segment with which it connects
and one for the local market in which
it operates.
The Department recognizes various
public benefits that can flow from
change-of-gauge services, such as a
lowered likelihood of missed
connections. However, although changeof-gauge flights can offer valuable
consumer benefits, they can be
confusing and misleading unless
consumers are given reasonable and
timely notice that they will be required
to change planes during their journey.
Section 41712 of Title 49 of the U.S.
code authorizes the Department to
decide if a U.S. air carrier or foreign air
carrier or ticket agent (including travel
agents) has engaged in unfair or
deceptive practices. Under this
authority, the Department has adopted
various regulations and policies to
prevent unfair or deceptive practices or
unfair methods of competition. The
Department requires as a matter of
policy that customers be given notice of
aircraft changes for change-of-gauge
flights. (See Department Order 89–1–31,
page 5.) The Department proposed to
adopt the extant regulations, however,
because it was not convinced that these
rules and policies resulted in effective
disclosure all of the time.
Respondents: All U.S. air carriers,
foreign air carriers, computer
reservations systems (CRSs), and travel
agents doing business in the United
States, and the traveling public.
Number of Respondents: 16,000,
excluding travelers.
Frequency: At 15 seconds per call and
an average of 1.5 calls per trip, a total
of 22.5 seconds per respondent or
traveler, for the approximately 33% of
estimated change-of-gauge itineraries
that involve personal contact.
Total Annual Burden: Annual
reporting burden for this data collection
is estimated at 76,313 hours for all
travel agents and airline ticket agents,
based on 15 seconds per phone call and
an average of 1.5 phone calls per trip,
for the approximately 33% of estimated
change-of-gauge itineraries that involve
personal contact. Most of this data

The FAA
is issuing a final EA for the Aberdeen
Regional Airport Updates and
FONSVROD that evaluated the potential
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed decoupling of Runways13/
31 and 17/35 and fill on airport
wetlands actions at Aberdeen Regional
Airport located in Aberdeen, South
Dakota. Based on the analysis contained
in the final EA, the FAA has determined
the selected alternative has no
associated significant impacts to
resources identified in accordance with
FAA Order I050.IE, Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures and
FAA Order 5054.4B, National
Environmental Policy Act Implementing
Instructions for Airport Actions.
Therefore, no environmental impact
statement will be prepared. The
proposed decoupling of runways 13/31
and 17/35 and fill on airport wetlands
project is needed to enhance the utility
and safety of the Aberdeen Regional
Airport for current and projected levels
of aviation by the design aircraft family.
Four alternatives were studied for
meeting the purpose and need. Three of
the four alternatives were reviewed,
analyzed, discarded due to the degree of
environmental impacts and not meeting
purpose and need. A detailed
discussion is in the V. Alternatives
Discarded Section of the FONSVROD.
The selected alternative is one of four
considered in the final EA. The selected
alternative consists of addressing the
identified needs: Incompatible land use,
non-standard runway configuration, and
hazardous wildlife habitat.
The selected alternative includes the:
(I.) Unconditional approval of the
Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for the
development listed in the EA and the
decision document. (2.) Issue final
airspace determinations for the
development listed on the ALP. (3.)
Eligibility for Federal grants-in-aid
funds for eligible items. (4.) Approval of
