ADDRESSES: Written comments on the DOT information collection requests 
should be forwarded, as quickly as possible, to Edward Clarke, Office 
of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10202, 
Washington, D.C. 20503. If you anticipate submitting substantive

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3507 of Title 44 of the United 
States Code, as adopted by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
requires that agencies prepare a notice for publication in the Federal 
Register, listing those information collection requests submitted to 
OMB for approval or renewal under that Act. OMB reviews and approves 
agency submissions in accordance with criteria set forth in that Act. 
In carrying out its responsibilities, OMB also considers public 
comments on the proposed forms and the reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements. OMB approval of an information collection requirement 
must be renewed at least once every three years.
    Title: Passenger Manifest.
    OMB Control Number: 2105--new.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Affected Public: U.S. and foreign carriers, travel agents and the 
traveling public.
    Abstract: In some international aviation disasters in the past, the 
State Department did not have a complete and accurate passenger 
manifest information for use in notifying the families of victims in a 
timely manner. This information collection requirement would require U. 
S. air carriers, foreign air carriers, and travel agents to collect 
complete and accurate passenger manifest information for U.S. citizens 
and lawful permanent residents in order that the families can be 
notified in a timely manner.
    Need for Information: U.S. And foreign air carries will be able to 
provide the passenger manifest information for U.S. citizens and lawful 
permanent residents to Department of Transportation and Department of 
State in the case of an aviation accident no later than three hours 
following notification of the disaster.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1.1 to 1.4 million 
hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th Street, NW, 
Washington, DC 20503, Attention DOT Desk Officer.
    Comments are Invited on: whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Department, including 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, D.C. on November 26, 1996.
