Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 97 / Monday, May 22, 2017 / Notices

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on a
proposal to improve access between the
Hunts Point Peninsula and the Sheridan
and Bruckner Expressways (I–895 and
I–278).
The Hunts Point Peninsula is located
in the South Bronx, New York, and is
home to the Hunts Point Food
Distribution Center, the largest food
distribution facility in the nation. The
Hunts Point Peninsula is also home to
many industrial and commercial
properties outside of the food
distribution center. There is also a
residential area in the northeastern
portion of the peninsula. To access the
food distribution center, vehicles must
exit the interstate highway network and
use local streets. The needs for the
project are to improve access to and
from the Hunts Point Peninsula and the
Hunts Point Food Distribution Center/
commercial establishments, to address
the existing non-standard geometric
features of the Bruckner/Sheridan
Interchange to improve operations, and
to address infrastructure deficiencies on
the Bruckner Expressway viaduct and
ramps and truss bridge carrying
westbound Bruckner Expressway and
Bruckner Boulevard over Amtrak.
The purpose of the project is to
provide improved access between the
Hunts Point Peninsula and the Sheridan
and Bruckner Expressways for
automobiles and trucks traveling to and
from the commercial businesses located
on the peninsula. In addition, the
project will address structural and
operational deficiencies related to the
existing infrastructure within the
established project limits.
A reasonable range of alternatives is
currently being developed and will be
refined during the NEPA scoping
process in consideration of agency and
public comments received.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
Cooperating and Participating Agencies.
Public and agency outreach will include
a formal public scoping meeting, a
public hearing, and meetings with
Cooperating and Participating Agencies.
Public notice will be given of the date,
time, and location of the scoping
meeting and hearing. To assist in
determining the scope of issues to be
addressed and identifying the
significant issues related to the
proposed action, the general public will
have the opportunity to submit written
comments at the scoping meeting and
during a scoping comment period. The
draft EIS will be available for public and
agency review and comment prior to the
public hearing.
Comments or questions concerning
this proposed action should be directed

DOT for passenger operations that
experience a tarmac delay time of 3
hours or more at a U.S. airport (See,
DOT–OST–2010–0140). This request
seeks to reinstate the control number
that is associated with the information
collection requirements in that rule,
OMB Control Number 2105–0561.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Submission of Miscellaneous
Information Collection Systems as
Required by the Department’s Rules to
Enhance Airline Passenger Protections.
OMB Control Number: 2105–0561.
On April 25, 2011, the Department
issued a rule to enhance airline
passenger protections that, among other
things, extended to foreign carriers the
requirement to post tarmac delay plans,
customer service plans, and contracts of
carriage on their Web sites. This
requirement had previously only
applied to U.S. carriers. The rule also
required that U.S. air carriers that
operate passenger service and foreign air
carriers that operate scheduled
passenger service to or from the U.S.
retain for two years certain information
about any ground delay that lasts at
least three hours, adopt a Customer
Service Plan, audit its adherence to the
plan annually, and retain the results for
two years. In addition, a prior rule
issued on December 30, 2009, required
that each reporting air carrier (i.e.,
currently U.S. carriers that account for
at least 1 percent of domestic scheduled
passenger revenues) display on its Web
site information on each listed flight’s
on-time performance for the previous
month for both the carrier’s flights and
those of its non-reporting code-share
carriers.
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 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.
This notice addresses five information
collection requirements concerning
information collection requirements set
forth in the Department’s airline
passenger protection rules. The
reinstated OMB control number will be

applicable to all information collection
systems set forth in this notice. 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 post customer
service plans and contracts of carriage
on a carrier’s Web site. (259.2 and 259.6)
Title: Posting of Customer Service
Plan and Contract of Carriage on Web
site.
Respondents: U.S. carriers that
operate scheduled passenger or public
charter service and foreign air carriers
operating scheduled passenger or public
charter service to or from the United
States, using any aircraft with a
designed seating capacity of 30 or more
seats. Applicable to U.S. carriers that
have a Web site and foreign carriers that
have a Web site marketed toward U.S.
consumers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 45
U.S. airlines and 65 foreign carriers.
Estimated Total Burden on
Respondents: 27 hours and 30 minutes
(1,650 minutes, average of 15 minutes
per U.S. carrier to post plans and
contracts of carriage on Web site).
Frequency: One time per respondent.
2. Requirement to retain for two years
information about any tarmac delay that
lasts at least three hours. (259.2 and
259.4)
Title: Retaining Ground Delay
Information.
Respondents: U.S. carriers that
operate or market scheduled or public
charter passenger service using any
aircraft with a designed seating capacity
of 30 or more seats, and foreign air
carriers that operate or market
scheduled or public charter passenger
service to and from the United States
using any aircraft with a designed
seating capacity of 30 or more seats. To
be covered, the tarmac delay must have
occurred at a U.S. large hub, medium
hub, small hub or non-hub airport.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 61
U.S. and 93 foreign carriers.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: A maximum of 88 hours
(5,280 minutes) for a U.S. respondent
and a maximum of 32 hours (1,920
minutes) for a foreign respondent. The
estimate was calculated multiplying the
estimated time to retain information
about one ground delay (2 hours) by the
total number of ground delay incidents
lasting at least three hours per U.S.
respondent (a maximum of 44 incidents,
derived from analysis of tarmac delays
for CY2016).
For foreign respondents, the estimate
was similarly calculated by multiplying
the estimated time to retain information

PO 00000

Frm 00318

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

23487

about one ground delay (4 hours) by the
total number of ground delay incidents
lasting at least three hours for CY2016
(a maximum of 8 incidents).
Estimated Total Annual Burden: A
maximum of 530 hours (31,800 minutes)
for all respondents. For U.S. carriers, the
subtotal was determined by multiplying
the sum of the total per report time (2
hours) for U.S. carriers by the total
number of CY2016 ground delay
incidents lasting at least three hours for
all U.S. carriers (159 total incidents).
For foreign carriers the subtotal was
determined by multiplying the per
report time (4 hours) for foreign carriers
multiplied by the total number of
ground delay incidents lasting at least
three hours for the foreign carriers (53
total incidents). The estimate was
calculated by adding the sum of the two
subtotals for all CY2016 tarmac delays
lasting at least three hours (318 hours
for U.S. carriers plus 212 hours for
foreign carriers).
Frequency: A maximum of 44 ground
delay information sets to retain per year
for a single respondent. (N.b. Some air
carriers may not experience any ground
delay incidents of at least three hours in
a given year, while one air carrier
experienced 44 three-hour plus delays
in CY2016 according to data reported to
the Bureau of Transportation Statistics).
3. Requirement that certain U.S. and
foreign air carriers retain for two years
the results of its annual self-audit of its
compliance with its Customer Service
Plan. (259.2 and 259.5)
Title: Retaining Self-audit of Customer
Service Plan.
Respondents: U.S. carriers that
operate scheduled passenger service
using any aircraft with a designed
seating capacity of 30 or more seats, and
foreign air carriers that operate
scheduled passenger service to and from
the United States using any aircraft with
a designed seating capacity of 30 or
more seats.
Number of Respondents: 45 U.S. and
70 foreign carriers.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: 15 minutes per year for
each respondent. The estimate was
calculated by multiplying the estimated
time to retain a copy of the carrier’s selfaudit of its compliance with its
Customer Service Plan by the number of
audits per carrier in a given year (1).
Estimated Total Annual Burden: A
maximum of 28 hours and 30 minutes
(1,725 minutes) for all respondents. The
estimate was calculated by multiplying
the time in a given year for each carrier
to retain a copy of its self-audit of its
compliance with its Customer Service
Plan (15 minutes) by the total number
of covered carriers (115 carriers).

Frequency: One information set to
retain per year for each respondent.
4. Requires that each large U.S. carrier
display on its Web site, at a point before
the consumer selects a flight for
purchase, the following information for
each listed flight regarding its on-time
performance during the last reported
month: The percentage of arrivals that
were on time (within 15 minutes of
scheduled arrival time), the percentage
of arrivals that were more than 30
minutes late (with special highlighting
if the flight was more than 30 minutes
late more than 50 percent of the time),
and the percentage of flight
cancellations if the flight is cancelled
more than 5% of the time. In addition,
a marketing/reporting carrier display
delay data for its non-reporting codeshare carrier(s). (234.11)
Title: Displaying On-time
performance Information on Carrier
Web site.
Respondents: Currently every U.S.
carrier that accounts for at least one
percent of scheduled passenger revenue
and maintains a Web site.1
Number of Respondents: 12 carriers.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: 2 hours per month (24
hours) to cover both updates of a
carrier’s own delay data and updates of
code-share delay data.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: No
more than 288 hours (17,280 minutes) a
year for all respondents. The estimate
was calculated by multiplying the total
number of hours per carrier per year for
management of data links (24) by the
number of covered carriers (12).
Frequency: Updating information for
each flight listed on Web site 12 times
per year (1 time per month) for each
respondent (for both own carrier delay
data and code-share delay data).
5. Requirement that certain carriers
report tarmac delay data for tarmac
delays exceeding 3 hours to the
Department on a monthly basis. (244.2)
Title: Reporting Tarmac Delay Data for
Tarmac Delays Exceeding 3 Hours
Respondents: U.S. carriers that
operate scheduled passenger service or
public charter service using any aircraft
with a designed seating capacity of 30
or more seats, and foreign air carriers
that operate scheduled passenger
service to and from the United States
1 On January 1, 2018, covered carriers (i.e.
‘‘reporting carriers’’) will include air carriers that
operate scheduled passenger service that accounts
for at least 0.5 percent and less than 1.0 percent of
domestic scheduled passenger revenue and that
market flights directly to consumers via a Web site.
The requirement will be included as part of this
reinstated OMB Control Number. However, the
requirement will not impact newly reporting
carriers that do not maintain a Web site that
displays flight schedules.

using any aircraft with a designed
seating capacity of 30 or more seats. To
be covered, the tarmac delay must have
occurred at a U.S. large hub, medium
hub, small hub or non-hub airport.
Number of Respondents: 61 U.S. and
70 foreign carriers.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: 0.0 to 22.0 hours per U.S.
respondent (the latter if 44 three-hour
plus tarmac delays must be reported)
and 0.0 to 4 hours per foreign
respondent (the latter if 8 three-hour
plus tarmac delays must be reported).
This is estimating that each report takes
30 minutes to submit.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 106
hours (6,360 minutes) for all
respondents.
Frequency: One information set to
submit per incident for each respondent
that experiences a tarmac delay of 3
hours or more (212 three-hour plus
tarmac delay reports total were
submitted in CY16 to the Bureau of
Transportation Statistics).
We invite comments on (a) whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
the Department’s estimate of the burden
of the proposed information collection;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record on
the docket.
