This collection requires public agencies and certain members of the aviation industry to prepare and submit applications and reports to the FAA.. 49 U.S.C. 40117 authorizes airports to receive the benefit to impose passenger facility charges (PFC). PFC's provide additional funding for airport development which is needed now and in the future.
US Code:
49 USC 40117
Name of Law: Passenger Facility Fees
Adjustments were due to the changes in wage rates and reduction in expected responses. Since the previous collection, hourly wage rates have increased while average fringe benefits have decreased. This led to a $4.33 increase in the hourly rate for respondents. Additionally, this led to a $9.77 increase in the hourly rate for federal government employees.
An adjustment was also due to the reduction in expected responses. The FAA received fewer responses on average annually than the previous renewal projected. Due to these responses only being required on occasion to obtain a benefit, the FAA can only estimate what we expect to receive.
Lastly, FAA has included five additional forms that were not specifically identified in the last collection even though the burden was included in the previous calculations. Furthermore, all forms that are included within this paperwork reduction act renewal are being submitted in draft form. FAA is working though rulemaking and the 2024 reauthorization bill which may require minor changes to the forms. We have no expectation any changes to the forms will result in a change to the expected burden.
