SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Approval No. 2138–0009.
Title: Report of Financial and
Operating Statistics for Small Aircraft
Operators.
Form No.: BTS Form 298–C.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection for the
financial data.
Respondents: Small certificated (29)
and commuter air carriers (35).
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00160
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Schedule F1
Number of Respondents: 64.
Number of Annual Responses: 256.
Total Burden per Response: 4 hours.
Total Annual Burden: 1,024 hours.
Schedule F2
Number of Respondents: 29.
Number of Annual Responses: 116.
Total Burden per Response: 12 hours.
Total Annual Burden: 1,392 hours.
Needs and Uses: Program uses for
Form 298–C financial data are as
follows:
Mail Rates
The Department of Transportation
sets and updates the Intra-Alaska Bush
mail rates based on carrier aircraft
operating expense, traffic, and
operational data. Form 298–C cost data,
especially fuel costs, terminal expenses,
and line haul expenses are used in
arriving at rate levels. DOT revises the
established rates based on the
percentage of unit cost changes in the
carriers’ operations. These updating
procedures have resulted in the carriers
receiving rates of compensation that
more closely parallel their costs of
providing mail service and contribute to
the carriers’ economic well-being.
Essential Air Service
DOT often has to select a carrier to
provide a community’s essential air
service. The selection criteria include
historic presence in the community,
reliability of service, financial stability
and cost structure of the air carrier.
Carrier Fitness
Fitness determinations are made for
both new entrants and established U.S.
domestic carriers proposing a
substantial change in operations. A
portion of these applications consists of
an operating plan for the first year (14
CFR part 204) and an associated
projection of revenues and expenses.
The carrier’s operating costs, included
in these projections, are compared
against the cost data in Form 298–C for
a carrier or carriers with the same
aircraft type and similar operating
characteristics. Such a review validates
the reasonableness of the carrier’s
operating plan.
The quarterly financial submissions
by commuter and small certificated air
carriers are used in determining each
carrier’s continuing fitness to operate.
Section 41738 of Title 49 of the United
States Code requires DOT to find all
commuter and small certificated air
carriers fit, willing, and able to conduct
passenger service as a prerequisite to
providing such service to an eligible
essential air service point. In making a
E:\FR\FM\02APN1.SGM
02APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 63 / Monday, April 2, 2018 / Notices
fitness determination, DOT reviews
three areas of a carrier’s operation: (1)
The qualifications of its management
team, (2) its disposition to comply with
laws and regulations, and (3) its
financial posture. DOT must determine
whether or not a carrier has sufficient
financial resources to conduct its
operations without imposing undue risk
on the traveling public. Moreover, once
a carrier begins conducting flight
operations, DOT is required to monitor
its continuing fitness.
Senior DOT officials must be kept
fully informed and advised of all
current and developing economic issues
affecting the airline industry. In
preparing financial condition reports or
status reports on a particular airline,
financial and traffic data are analyzed.
Briefing papers prepared for senior DOT
officials may use the same information.
The Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501 note), requires
a statistical agency to clearly identify
information it collects for non-statistical
purposes. BTS hereby notifies the
respondents and the public that BTS
uses the information it collects under
this OMB approval for non-statistical
purposes including, but not limited to,
publication of both Respondent’s
identity and its data, submission of the
information to agencies outside BTS for
review, analysis and possible use in
regulatory and other administrative
matters.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 27,
2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget

information that they conduct or
sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 requires federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the OCC is publishing
