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.
