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 and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
