SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
Modernization and Reform Act, which
was signed into law on February 14,
2012, required U.S. 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 U.S. airports, to
submit emergency contingency plans for
lengthy tarmac delays to the Secretary of
Transportation for review and approval
no later than May 14, 2012. The Act also
required each covered carrier and
airport to ensure public access to its
plan after DOT approval by posting the
plan on its Web site. In addition to
requiring the initial submission of
emergency contingency plans, the Act
requires U.S. carriers to submit an
updated plan every 3 years. Further, the
Act requires airport operators to submit
an updated plan every 5 years. The
information collection requirements are
specifically required by statute and are
not being imposed as an exercise of the
Department’s discretion.
On April 16, 2012, the Department
submitted to OMB for review and
clearance information collection
requests regarding submission of the
plans and OMB approved this
information collection. The Department
then issued a notice in the Federal
Register stating how covered U.S.
carriers and airports should submit the
required plans to the Department
through an online system (77 FR 27267,
May 9, 2012). The Department intends
to ask for a renewal of the OMB control
number for U.S. carriers and airport
operators to submit plan updates.
A Federal agency generally cannot
conduct or sponsor a collection of
information, and the public is generally
not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to monetary penalty for failing to

comply with a collection of information
if the collection of information does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
For each of these information
collections, the title, a description of the
respondents, and an estimate of the
annual recordkeeping and periodic
reporting burden are set forth below:
1. Requirement to submit tarmac
delay plan to DOT for review and
approval.
Title: Filing of Tarmac Delay Plan to
DOT.
Respondents: Each large, medium,
small and non-hub airport in the U.S.;
U.S. carriers that operate scheduled
passenger service or public charter
service using any aircraft with a design
capacity of 30 or more seats.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
420 U.S. airports and 65 U.S. airlines.
Frequency: Every 5 years for covered
U.S. airports; every 3 years for covered
U.S. airlines.
Estimated Total Burden on
Respondents: For U.S. airports—247.5
hours (25 airports not covered in 2012
× 2 hours) + (395 existing airports × .5
hours) = 247.5 hours. This estimate is
based on the following facts: Tarmac
delay plans for submission are general
in nature and do not consist of extensive
airport-specific customization. Airport
associations have prepared templates for
use by U.S. airports which require very
little additional information to be
customized for individual airports.
Airport associations’ templates have
been the template for most of the airport
plans submitted. For an airport that had
not prepared and submitted a plan to
meet the requirement in 2012 (25
airports), we estimate 2 hours to review
the templates, to prepare by entering the
airport-specific information, and to
submit the plan through the
Department’s electronic submission
system. We estimate there are or will be
approximately 25 airports that will be
newly covered by the Act by the next
submission deadline and that did not
previously submit plans to meet the
requirement in 2012.1 For U.S. airports
1 These estimates are based on currently available
data. Our estimates assume that the number of
covered airports will increase between 2012 and
2017 so that there will be a larger number of
covered airports by the date of the next submission
requirement for covered airports in 2017. There
were approximately 395 airports that were coverend
in 2012. Based on current FAA data, it appears that
approximately 416 airports now meet the threshold
of the Act that requires them to submit plans.
http://www.faa.gov/airports/planning_capacity/
passenger_allcargo_stats/passenger/media/cy13commercial-service-enplanements.pdf. Based on
fluctuations in airport traffic combined with the
recent trend of increasing air traffic, we anticipate
that approximately 25 airports that were not

that have already prepared and
submitted a plan and will continue to be
subject to this requirement (395
airports), they will need to review and
update the plan through the
Department’s electronic submission
system. We estimate .5 hour for these
395 airports to review, update, and
submit the plan through the
Department’s electronic submission
system.
For U.S. airlines—40 hours (60
existing carriers × .5 hours) + (5 new
carriers × 2 hours) = 40 hours.2 Airline
plans for submission generally are not
very detailed and provide only the level
of information required to meet the
statutory requirement. Although airlines
often choose to prepare more detailed
plans for internal use, the submitted
plans are brief. In addition, currently
operating U.S. carriers are already
required to have such plans in place
since this is a continuing requirement
and the statute has already been in place
since 2012. Therefore we estimate that
most covered U.S. carriers (an estimated
60) will spend .5 hour to review,
update, and submit the plan through the
Department’s electronic submission
system. We estimate that up to 5 U.S.
carriers may meet the threshold for the
filing requirement in 2015 but may not
have submitted a plan previously. We
estimate those carriers will spend 2
hours to prepare and submit the plan
through the Department’s electronic
submission system.
2. Requirement to ensure public
access to tarmac delay plan after DOT
approval (as required by the Act).
Title: Posting of Tarmac Delay Plan on
Web sites.
Respondents: Each large, medium,
small and non-hub airport in the U.S.;
U.S. carriers that operate scheduled
passenger service or public charter
service and foreign air carriers operating
to or from the United States, using any
aircraft with a design capacity of 30 or
more seats.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
420 U.S. airports and 65 U.S. airlines.
Estimated Total Frequency: Every 5
years for covered U.S. airports; every 3
years for covered U.S. airlines (if not
already posted or if there are updates).
Burden on Respondents: 121.25
(Average of 15 minutes per respondent
covered by the Act in 2012 now meet or will meet
the threshold and be covered airports by 2017, the
next required submission date. This number
includes an assumption that a small number of
airports that were previously covered will no longer
be covered by 2017.
2 These estimates are based on the number of
airlines that were required to file in the past and
the potential for an increased number of airlines
that may be covered by the date of the next
submission requirement for airlines.

Background
On December 3, 1999, the Kingpin
Act was signed into law by the
President of the United States. The
Kingpin Act provides a statutory
framework for the President to impose
sanctions against significant foreign
narcotics traffickers and their
organizations on a worldwide basis,
with the objective of denying their
businesses and agents access to the U.S.
financial system and to the benefits of
trade and transactions involving U.S.
persons and entities.
The Kingpin Act blocks all property
and interests in property, subject to U.S.
jurisdiction, owned or controlled by
significant foreign narcotics traffickers
as identified by the President. In
addition, the Secretary of the Treasury
consults with the Attorney General, the
Director of the Central Intelligence
Agency, the Director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, the
Administrator of the Drug Enforcement
Administration, the Secretary of
Defense, the Secretary of State, and the
Secretary of Homeland Security when
designating and blocking the property or
interests in property, subject to U.S.
jurisdiction, of persons or entities found
to be: (1) Materially assisting in, or
providing financial or technological
support for or to, or providing goods or
services in support of, the international
narcotics trafficking activities of a
person designated pursuant to the
Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or
directed by, or acting for or on behalf of,
a person designated pursuant to the
Kingpin Act; and/or (3) playing a
significant role in international
narcotics trafficking.
On May 22, 2015, the Associate
Director of the Office of Global
Targeting removed from the SDN List
the individuals and entities listed
below, whose property and/or interests
in property were blocked pursuant to
the Kingpin Act:
