The FAA
Modernization and Reform Act (Act),
which was signed into law on February
14, 2012, requires U.S. carriers that
operate scheduled passenger service or
public charter service using any aircraft
with a design capacity of 30 or more
seats, and operators of large hub,
medium hub, small hub, or non-hub
U.S. airports, to submit emergency
contingency plans for lengthy tarmac
delays to the Secretary of Transportation
for review and approval. In addition to
requiring the initial submission of
emergency contingency plans, the Act
requires U.S. air carriers to submit an
updated plan every 3 years and U.S.
airport operators to submit an updated
plan every 5 years. The Act further
requires each covered carrier and airport
to ensure public access to its plan after
DOT approval by posting the plan on its
website.
DOT has an online system allowing
covered U.S. air carriers and U.S.
airports to submit plans online.1 On
June 2, 2015, DOT published a 60-day
FR Notice to renew/reinstate the OMB
control number (80 FR 31455) and on
June 17, 2016, a 30-day FR notice was
published (81 FR 39750). On February
23, 2017, OMB reinstated the OMB
control number, which expired on
February 29, 2020. DOT is issuing this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1 OACP is modernizing its consumer complaints
database to provide a more efficient means for air
carriers and airports to submit their plans. Should
the submission process change prior to the date
plans are due, OACP will give covered entities
advance notice of the revised procedure for plan
submission.

60-day notice to reinstate the OMB
control number.2
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) and its implementing regulations,
5 CFR part 1320, require Federal
agencies to issue two notices, a 60-day
notice followed by a 30-day notice,
seeking public comment on information
collection activities before OMB may
approve paperwork packages. 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 monetary 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.
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 submit tarmac
delay contingency plan to DOT for
review and approval.
Title: Filing of Tarmac Delay
Contingency Plan to DOT.
Respondents: Each large, medium,
small and non-hub airport in the U.S.;
U.S. carriers that operate scheduled
passenger service or public charter
service using any aircraft with a design
capacity of 30 or more seats.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
391 U.S. airports 3 and 76 U.S. airlines.4
Frequency: Every 5 years for covered
U.S. airports; every 3 years for covered
U.S. airlines.
Estimated Total Burden on
Respondents:
For U.S. airports—195.5 hours (391
existing airports × .5 hours = 195.5
hours). This estimate is based on the
following facts/assumptions: Tarmac
delay plans for submission are general
in nature and do not consist of extensive
airport-specific customization. Airport
associations prepared templates for use
by U.S. airports which require very little
additional information to be customized
for individual airports and have been
2 We

note that the information collection
requirements are specifically required by statute
and are not imposed as an exercise of the DOT’s
discretion.
3 Based on FAA CY22 information, there are 31
large, 33 medium, 73 small, and 254 non-hub
covered airports. See, https://www.faa.gov/sites/
faa.gov/files/2023-09/cy22-commercial-serviceenplanements.pdf.
4 The number of covered airlines was calculated
using current data provided to OACP by the Bureau
of Transportation Statistics (BTS).

the templates for most of the airport
plans submitted. For U.S. airports that
have already prepared and submitted a
plan and will continue to be subject to
this requirement, they will need to
review and update the plan through the
DOT’s electronic submission system.
We estimate .5 hour for these 391
airports to review, update, and submit
the plan through the DOT’s electronic
submission system.5
For U.S. airlines—54.5 hours [(65
existing carriers × .5 hours = 32.5 hours)
+ (11 new carrier × 2 hours = 22 hours)
= 54.5 hours]. Although airlines often
choose to prepare more detailed plans
for internal use, airline plans for
submission generally are not very
detailed and provide only the level of
information required to meet the
statutory requirement. In addition,
currently operating U.S. carriers are
already required to have such plans in
place as this is a continuing requirement
and the statute has been in place since
2012. Therefore, we estimate that the 65
covered U.S. carriers will spend .5 hour
to review, update, and submit the plan
through the DOT’s electronic
submission system. For the 11 carriers
that had not prepared and submitted a
plan to meet the requirement in 2017,
we estimate 2 hours to review and
prepare the templates, and to submit the
plan through the DOT’s electronic
submission system.6
2. Requirement to ensure public
access to tarmac delay plan after DOT
approval (as required by the Act).
Title: Posting of Tarmac Delay
Contingency Plan on websites.
Respondents: Each large, medium,
small and non-hub airport in the U.S.;
U.S. carriers that operate scheduled
passenger service or public charter
service operating to or from the United
States, using any aircraft with a design
capacity of 30 or more seats.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
391 U.S. airports and 76 U.S. airlines.
Estimated Total Frequency: Every 5
years for covered U.S. airports; every 3
years for covered U.S. airlines (if not
already posted or if there are updates).
Burden on Respondents: 116.75 hours
[(391 airports × .25 hours = 97.75 hours)
+ (76 airlines × .25 hours = 19 hours) =
5 The total number of airports required to submit
plans has decreased from 401 to 391 (-10 airports).
The burden is calculated with the assumption that
no new airports need to submit a plan. However,
if there are any new airports that are required to
submit a plan, the burden estimate for such an
airport would be two hours.
6 Based on CY 2022 information provided by the
Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), the
number of covered carriers that must submit plans
increased from 65 to 76 (+11 carriers). As such, the
estimated burden for U.S. carriers has slightly
increased.

116.75 hours]. We estimate that the time
to upload a plan to a website is 15
minutes as covered U.S. carriers and
airports are already required to have
such plans in place and plans are
generally short and do not take long to
upload.
We invite comments on (a) whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the DOT, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
DOT’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.
