Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 117 / Friday, June 17, 2022 / Notices

inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to
exempt manufacturers only from the
duties found in sections 30118 and
30120, respectively, to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of a defect or
noncompliance and to remedy the
defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any
decision on this petition only applies to
the subject vehicles that BMW no longer
controlled at the time it determined that
the noncompliance existed. However,
any decision on this petition does not
relieve vehicle distributors and dealers
of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant vehicles under their
control after BMW notified them that
the subject noncompliance existed.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces that the Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted
below has been forwarded to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
reinstatement of an expired collection.
The ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. The Federal Register Notice
with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments on the following collection of
information was published on March
25, 2022 (87 FR page 17136). DOT
received a comment from an individual
stating that DOT should continue to
require air carriers to retain paper
complaint forms and submit the forms
to DOT’s Bureau of Transportation
Statistics (BTS) because the online DOT
form is insufficient. We note that this
PRA action pertains only to how long
air carriers must retain certain records,
including any complaints received. DOT

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Approval No.: 2138–0006.
Title: Preservation of Air carrier
Records—14 CFR part 249.
Form No.: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Certificated air carriers
and charter operators.
Number of Respondents: 89
certificated air carriers and 280 charter
operators.
Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours
per certificated air carrier, 1 hour per
charter operator.
Total Annual Burden: 547 hours.
This collection needs a new OMB
control number as it was previously and
erroneously entered into ROCIS as a
generic collection.
Needs and Uses: Part 249 requires the
retention of records such as: general and
subsidiary ledgers, journals and journal
vouchers, voucher distribution registers,
accounts receivable and payable
journals and legers, subsidy records
documenting underlying financial and
statistical reports to DOT, funds reports,
consumer records, sales reports,
auditors’ and flight coupons, air
waybills, etc. Depending on the nature
of the document, the carrier may be
required to retain the document for a
period of 30 days to 3 years. Public
charter operators and overseas military
personnel charter operators must retain
documents which evidence or reflect
deposits made by each charter
participant and commissions received
by, paid to, or deducted by travel agents,
and all statements, invoices, bills and
receipts from suppliers or furnishers of
goods and services in connection with

the tour or charter. These records are
retained for 6 months after completion
of the charter program.
Not only is it imperative that carriers
and charter operators retain source
documentation, but it is critical that we
ensure that DOT has access to these
records. Given DOT’s established
information needs for such reports, the
underlying support documentation must
be retained for a reasonable period of
time. Absent the retention requirements,
the support for such reports may or may
not exist for audit/validation purposes
and the relevance and usefulness of the
carrier submissions would be impaired,
since the data could not be verified to
the source on a test basis.
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.
Comments are invited on: whether the
proposed record retention requirements
are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Department. Comments should address
whether the information will have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
Department’s estimate of the burden of
the proposed information collection;
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and 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.
Issued in Washington, DC, on June 21,
2022.

Director, Office of Airline Information,
