This is a mandatory collection from
large certificated air carriers on their financial condition. It
consists of balance sheet and income/expense information. The
collection is on a monthly, quarterly, semi annual & annual
basis depending on the size of the air carrier and the data being
reported. The Department of Transportation uses this data to
determine continuing air carrier fitness, safety analysis,
international route negotiations. The Department of Commerce uses
this data to prepare its benchmark estimates of the gross domestic
product. The Department of Justice uses this data to conduct
antitrust analysis. The Department of Energy uses this data to
monitor industry fuel consumption for emergency preparedness. This
is a revision to a current collection in that we are asking for
additional burden hours to collect segregated fees charged by the
air carriers. Air carriers already report this data but not in a
separate identifiable form. The burden hours affected pertain only
to the P-2 Notes and consist of an additional two hours to prepare,
per report, per respondent.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
