SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Submission of Miscellaneous
Information Collection Systems as
Required by the Department’s Rules to
Enhance Airline Passenger Protections.
OMB Control Number: 2105–0561.
On Dec. 30, 2009 and April 25, 2011,
the Department issued two rules to
enhance airline passenger protections
that, among other things, required U.S.
and foreign carriers to adopt and audit
a customer service plan, retain
information regarding tarmac delays,
submit data regarding tarmac delays,
and post tarmac delay plans, customer
service plans, and contracts of carriage
on their websites. The 2009 rule also
required U.S. carriers that file on-time
performance reports under 14 CFR part
234 (‘‘reporting carriers’’) to display the
on-time performance of domestic flights
on their websites. A 2016 rule then
expanded the definition of U.S. carriers
considered reporting carriers.
On May 3, 2021, the Department
issued a rule amending its tarmac delay
requirements. Among other things, the
rule narrowed the tarmac delay data
reporting requirements in 14 CFR part
244 to those delays considered
‘‘excessive tarmac delays’’ (i.e., those
tarmac delays exceeding 3 hours on
domestic flights and 4 hours on

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 21, 2024 / Notices
international flights). The amended rule
also required carriers to file a narrative
report regarding such tarmac delays and
eliminated the requirement to retain the
delay information for two years.
Currently, the Department’s Office of
Aviation Consumer Protection (OACP)
is finalizing development of the
Aviation Complaint, Enforcement, and
Reporting System (ACERS), a database
that it intends to require carriers to use
when submitting tarmac delay
information as required under 14 CFR
part 259. ACERS will help streamline
the process by which OACP receives,
reviews, and analyzes the narrative
reports submitted by carriers.
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 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 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.
This notice addresses five information
collection requirements set forth in the
Department’s airline passenger
protection rules: (1) posting of tarmac
delay plans, customer service plans, and
contracts of carriage on carrier websites,
(2) submission of a narrative report
regarding tarmac delays that last over
three hours for domestic flights and four
hours for international flights, (3)
adoption and audit of customer service
plans and retention of results, (4)
display of on-time performance data on
carrier websites, and (5) submission of
a data report for tarmac delays that last
over three hours for domestic flights and
four hours for international flights. It
seeks renewal of the OMB control
number with respect to all information
collections set forth in this notice. For
each of these information collections,
the title, a description of the
respondents, and an estimate of the
annual recordkeeping and periodic
reporting burdens are set forth below:
1. Requirement to post tarmac delay
plans, customer service plans, and
contracts of carriage on a carrier’s
website. (14 CFR 259.2 and 259.6)
Title: Posting of Tarmac Delay Plan,
Customer Service Plan, and Contract of
Carriage on website.
Respondents: U.S. carriers that
operate scheduled passenger or public
charter service and foreign air carriers
operating scheduled passenger or public
charter service to or from the United

States, using any aircraft with a
designed seating capacity of 30 or more
seats. Applicable to U.S. carriers that
have a website and foreign carriers that
have a website marketed toward U.S.
consumers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 44
U.S. air carriers and 112 foreign air
carriers.
Estimated Total Burden on
Respondents: 65 hours (3,900 minutes,
average of 25 minutes per carrier to post
plans and contracts of carriage on
website). The burden calculation
accounts for additional time carriers
may spend updating the contents of
their customer service plans.
Frequency: One time per respondent.
2. Requirement to file a narrative
report with OACP of each flight that
experiences a tarmac delay of more
than three hours (domestic flights) and
more than four hours (international
flights). (14 CFR 259.4(g))
Title: Reporting of Tarmac Delays in
a Narrative Format That Complies with
49 U.S.C. 42301(h).
Respondents: U.S. Carriers that
operate scheduled passenger service or
public charter service using any aircraft
with 30 or more seats, and foreign air
carriers that operate scheduled
passenger or public charter service to
and from the United States using any
aircraft with 30 or more seats.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 44
U.S. air carriers and 112 foreign air
carriers.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: 2 hours per report for U.S.
carriers and 4 hours per report for
foreign carriers. The expected burden
per U.S. carrier is between 0 and 147
reports per year, and the expected
burden per foreign carrier is between 0
and 2 reports per year (based on the
highest annual number of tarmac delays
experienced by a single U.S. and foreign
carrier from 2022 and 2023), or 0.0 to
294.0 hours of burden per U.S. carrier
and 0.0 to 8.0 hours of burden per
foreign carrier.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
Based on the average number of tarmac
delay reports filed with OACP by each
type of carrier from 2022 through 2023,
358 reports for U.S. carriers and 10
reports for foreign carriers, or a total of
756 hours (358 reports multiplied by 2
hours per report for U.S. carriers, and 10
reports multiplied by 4 hours for foreign
carriers).
Frequency: One report per respondent
for each tarmac delay.
3. Requirement that certain U.S. and
foreign air carriers adopt a Customer
Service Plan and retain for two years the
results of its annual self-audit of its

compliance with its Customer Service
Plan. (14 CFR 259.2 and 259.5)
Title: Adopting a Customer Service
Plan and Retaining Self-audit of
Customer Service Plan.
Respondents: U.S. carriers that
operate scheduled passenger service
using any aircraft with a designed
seating capacity of 30 or more seats, and
foreign air carriers that operate
scheduled passenger service to and from
the United States using any aircraft with
a designed seating capacity of 30 or
more seats.
Number of Respondents: 44 U.S. air
carriers and 112 foreign air carriers.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: 15 minutes per year for
each respondent. The estimate was
calculated by multiplying the estimated
time for carriers to maintain an updated
Customer Service Plan and to retain a
copy of the carrier’s self-audit of its
compliance with its Customer Service
Plan by the number of audits per carrier
in a given year (1). The initial costs of
adopting a Customer Service Plan are
not included in this estimate as most
covered carriers initially adopted such
plans when the requirement was
promulgated in 2009 (for U.S. carriers)
and 2011 (for foreign carriers).
Estimated Total Annual Burden: A
maximum of 39 hours (2,340 minutes)
for all respondents. The estimate was
calculated by multiplying the time in a
given year for each carrier to maintain
an updated Customer Service Plan and
to retain a copy of its self-audit of its
compliance with its Customer Service
Plan (15 minutes) by the total number
of covered carriers (156 carriers).
Frequency: One information set to
maintain and retain per year for each
respondent.
4. Requirement that each large U.S.
carrier display on its website, at a point
before the consumer selects a flight for
purchase, the following information for
each listed flight regarding its on-time
performance during the last reported
month: The percentage of arrivals that
were on time (within 15 minutes of
scheduled arrival time), the percentage
of arrivals that were more than 30
minutes late (with special highlighting
if the flight was more than 30 minutes
late more than 50 percent of the time),
and the percentage of flight
cancellations if the flight is cancelled
more than 5% of the time. In addition,
the requirement that a marketing/
reporting carrier display delay data for
its non-reporting codeshare carrier(s).
(14 CFR 234.11)
Title: Displaying On-time
performance Information on Carrier
website.

hours annually) to cover both updates of
a carrier’s own delay data and updates
of code-share delay data.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: No
more than 360 hours (21,600 minutes) a
year for all respondents. The estimate
was calculated by multiplying the total
number of hours per carrier per year for

number of covered carriers (15).
Frequency: Updating information for
each flight listed on website 12 times
per year (1 time per month) for each
respondent (for both a carrier’s own
delay data and code-share delay data).
5. Requirement that carriers report
certain tarmac delay data to BTS for
each tarmac delay exceeding 3 Hours
(for domestic flights) and exceeding 4
Hours (for international flights). (14 CFR
244.3)
Title: Reporting Tarmac Delay Data to
BTS for Tarmac Delays Exceeding 3
Hours (for Domestic Flights) and 4
Hours (for International Flights).
Respondents: U.S. carriers that
operate scheduled passenger service or
public charter service using any aircraft
with 30 or more seats, and foreign air

passenger or public charter service to
and from the United States using any
aircraft with 30 or more seats.
Number of Respondents: 44 U.S. air
carriers and 112 foreign air carriers.
Estimated Annual Burden on

Jkt 262001

reports per year (based on the highest
and lowest number of reports submitted
by each individual U.S. and foreign
carrier from 2022 and 2023), or 0.0 to
73.5 hours of burden per U.S. carrier
and 0.0 to 1.0 hours of burden per
foreign carrier.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
Based on an average number of tarmac
delays reported to BTS for 2022 and
2023, the estimated annual burden is
368 reports for U.S. carriers and foreign
carriers, or a total of 184 hours (368
reports multiplied by 30 minutes per
report).
Frequency: One report per respondent
for each tarmac delay.
We invite comments on (a) whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of DOT, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
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.

summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record on
the docket.
