Terms of Clearance: This ICR was improperly submitted. The abstract incorrectly indicates that DOT is seeking emergency processing under the PRA. In addition, the ICR indicates there are program changes due to agency discretion but the ICR does not properly identify or explain those changes in supporting statement question 15 or in ROCIS's burden short statement. DOT may resubmit this ICR when these and any other deficiences are corrected.

Abstract: The FAA Modernization and Reform Act requires US carriers that operate scheduled passenger service or public charter service using any aircraft with a design capacity of 30 or more seats, and operators of large hub, medium hub, small hub, or non-hub US airports, to submit contingency plans for lengthy tarmac delays to the Secretary of Transportation for review and approval no later than May 14, 2012. The Act also requires each covered carrier and airport to ensure public access to its plan after DOT approval by posting the plan on its website. The Department is seeking OMB approval for the submission and posting of these plans under the PRA emergency clearance process because use of the normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to cause the May 14 statutory deadline for submission of plans to be missed.
