60 Day Federal Register Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 21, 2021 / Notices
OMB Control Number: 2120–0760.
Title: Disclosure of Seat Dimensions
to Facilitate the Use of Child Safety
Seats on Airplanes During PassengerCarrying Operations.
Form Numbers: N/A.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: Section 412 of the FAA
Modernization and Reform Act of 2012
(Pub. L. 112–95) specifically required
the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) to conduct rulemaking ‘‘[T]o
require each air carrier operating under
part 121 of title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations to post on the internet
website of the air carrier the maximum
dimensions of a child safety seat that
can be used on each aircraft operated by
the air carrier to enable passengers to
determine which child safety seats can
be used on those aircraft.’’ As a result,
the FAA amended 14 CFR 121.311,
which requires passenger carrying air
carriers to make available on their
websites the width of the widest
passenger seat in each class of service
for each make, model and series of
airplane used in passenger-carrying
operations (80 FR 58575). Section 412 of
Public Law 112–95 requires that all air
carriers provide this required
information on their internet websites.
The vast majority of this burden
occurred on a one-time basis as air
carriers initially provided information
on their websites in order to comply
with the regulation. After initial
implementation, the only time air
carriers need to update their websites
after initial implementation is when a
new airplane make, model, or series is
introduced to an air carrier’s fleet, or
when an air carrier replaces the widest
or narrowest seats installed on an
existing airplane make, model, or series
with wider or narrower seats. The
purpose of this collection is to facilitate
the use of child restraint systems
onboard airplanes by providing greater
information to caregivers to help them
determine whether a particular child
restraint system will fit in an airplane
seat.
Respondents: Approximately 44
operators.
Frequency: As required by regulation.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Varies per requirement.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 327
Hours.

14, 2021.

purpose of the original information
collection was to enable eligible
business entities to apply for payroll
assistance under the ‘‘Aviation
Manufacturing Jobs Protection’’

Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The continued
information collection is necessary to
ensure that eligible recipients continue
to meet eligibility requirements and are
compliant with use of funds to provide
payroll support for the established
eligible employee group. The continued
information collection will also seek
voluntary demographic information for
program evaluation purposes. We are
required to publish this notice in the
Federal Register by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.

Background: On March 11, 2021, the

was enacted. Sections 7201 and 7202

Manufacturing Jobs Protection’’ (AMJP)
program. The stated purpose of the
program is ‘‘to provide public
contributions to supplement
compensation of an eligible employee
group’’ (which is defined in the statute),
by entering into agreements with
qualifying business entities to pay up to
half of the payroll costs for that group
of employees for up to six months, in
return for several commitments,
including a commitment that the
company will not involuntarily furlough
or lay off employees within that group.
Individual employees (including
contract employees) are not eligible to
apply for assistance under this program.
Application for assistance under the
AMJP was voluntary. No business was
required to apply. To be eligible,
however, businesses were required to
meet all the requirements set forth in
the law. Therefore, DOT was required to
collect certain information from
applicants to determine eligibility. DOT
must also verify the accuracy of specific
payment requests from approved
applicants, in accordance with other
laws and regulations governing Federal
financial assistance programs, including
(but not limited to) the Antideficiency
Act, the Federal Funding Accountability
and Transparency Act (FFATA), the
Payment Integrity Information Act of
2019, and applicable provisions in 2
CFR part 200, among others.
The ARPA required DOT to reduce
funding on a pro rata basis if eligible
requests exceeded available funds.
Therefore, DOT planned to conduct a
single-round, expedited application
process to identify all eligible requests
before beginning the award process.
Accordingly, DOT developed a
process and system to enable businesses
to apply for financial assistance under
the AMJP. DOT used an online, webbased system to collect the information
outlined in the notice at 86 FR 19695.
DOT subsequently announced the
beginning of the application process on
June 14, 2021, via notice at 86 FR 31573.
DOT posted the application instructions
online at https://www.transportation.
gov/AMJP/apply. The application
process was open for four weeks, from
June 14, 2021 through July 13, 2021.
DOT subsequently reopened the
application process for another fourweek period ending September 1, 2021.
Now that the application process is
complete, DOT is renewing and
updating this information collection.
DOT will continue to require eligible
recipients to attest that they continue to
meet all the original eligibility
requirements as previously outlined, as
well as the following information:

• A sworn certification as to the
complete and accurate nature of all
information provided, including all
supporting documentation, subject to
civil or criminal penalties. The specific
certification language is in the forms
referenced above and section 4.8 of the
General Terms And Conditions Under
The Aviation Manufacturing Jobs
Protection Program.1
• After DOT determines eligibility
and enters into an agreement with the
applicant (referred to hereafter as ‘‘the
recipient’’), DOT will also require the
recipient to provide the actual aggregate
total cost of compensation for the
Eligible Employee Group during the
period of the agreement with DOT, in
order for DOT to review and approve
actual disbursements pursuant to the
agreement. Recipients will be required
to provide supporting documentation in
sufficient detail to substantiate the
actual costs, specifically excluding any
Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
for any individual employees.
Recipients will also be required to
provide additional supporting
information and certifications in
support of disbursement requests. See
Forms AMJP–1A–6.4, AMJP–1A–6.6,
and AMJP–1A–6.7.
• DOT may also ask recipient
businesses to submit voluntary reports
regarding demographic data associated
with the workforce that is and is not
included in the Eligible Employee
Group. This would be voluntary on the
part of the employer, and based solely
on voluntary data self-reported by
employees, disaggregated from any
Personally Identifiable Information in
order to avoid any potential privacy
concerns. If a statistically valid sample
can be developed, then it may be
possible to extrapolate for reporting and
program evaluation purposes. Such
information may be used to support
program evaluation.
• DOT may also ask recipient
businesses to identify how they first
learned about the AMJP program. Such
information may be useful in
implementation of future financial
assistance programs.
DOT has updated the following
estimated public burden figures based
on the actual number of applications
received as well as observations during
the application review process. In order
to help reduce the burden on recipients
(and particularly on small businesses),
DOT decided to make an initial
disbursement shortly after award of

agreement, including the General Terms and

each agreement. The initial
disbursement is up to 50 percent of the
award amount. This provides the
recipient businesses with an immediate
cash infusion, while also reducing the
total number of disbursements and the
cumulative paperwork required. DOT
announced this decision in the
application package published on June
15, 2021.
Respondents: Eligible business
entities in the aviation manufacturing,
maintenance, repair, and overhaul
services based in the United States.
Number of Respondents: 600.
Frequency: Up to two disbursement
requests and one final closeout report
(including supporting payroll
documentation and reporting
requirements).
Total Annual Burden: Total burden,
16,800 hours (28 hours per respondent
including 4 hours for each of 2
disbursement requests; 14 hours for
required forms; 2 hours for voluntary
demographic data; and 4 hours for
closeout documentation).
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the
Department’s performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c)
ways for the Department to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (d) ways
that the burden could be minimized
without reducing the quality of the
collected information. The agency will
summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended.
Issued in Washington, DC, on September
16, 2021.
