Short Statement: The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Pub. L. No. 112-95, 126 Stat. 11 (February 14, 2012) removed the requirements that a covered airport provide information on patterns of air service and airfare levels compared to other large airports thereby reducing the workload for preparation of Competition Plans. FAA has revised the estimated number of Competition Plans and Competition Plan updates reviewed each year from 5 to 7, resulting in an overall increase in the reported burden. A review of the previous computation for determining Secretary/Administrator recordkeeping for this requirement showed an error and this computation was revised accordingly.
