DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary


Reports, Forms and Recordkeeping Requirements

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice lists those forms, reports, and recordkeeping 
requirements imposed upon the public which were transmitted by the 
Department of Transportation to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for its approval in accordance with the requirements of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 USC Chapter 35). Section 3507 of 
Title 44 of the United States Code, requires that agencies prepare a 
notice for publication in the Federal Register, listing information 
collection request 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.
    The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting 
comments on information collection 2120-0034 was published on September 
4, 1998 (63 FR 47340).

DATES: Comments on this notice must be received on or before December 
17, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Copies of the DOT information 
collection requests submitted to OMB may be obtained from Ms. Judith 
Street, Federal Aviation Administration, Corporate Information 
Division, ABC-100, 800 Independence Ave., SW., (202) 267-9895, 
Washington, DC 20591.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

    Title: Commuter Operations and General Certification and Operations 
Requirements.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0593.
    Form(s): FAA Form 8400-6.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Transition of some 135 carriers to part 121 rules.
    Abstract: The regulation requires that certain commuter operators 
conduct their operations under part 121 instead of part 135. Affected 
operators include those conducting scheduled, passenger-carrying 
operations with airplanes with 10-30 seats. The reporting requirements 
are similar but different between parts 121 and 135. This submission 
reflects only the additional burden associated with part 135 carriers 
transitioning to part 121 standards.
    There will be a change to the collection of information. The 
transition portion of this rule is complete. However, Part 119 
continues to cover new carriers and some ongoing requirements. The 
burden associated with the transition portion will be removed, and only 
burden associated with new carriers and ongoing requirements will be 
reflected in the updated submission.
    Estimated Burden: The estimated total annual burden is 8,803 hours.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the DOT information collection request 
should be forwarded, within 30 days of publication, to Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 
New Executive Office Building, Room 10102, Washington, D.C. 20503, 
ATTN: FAA Desk Officer. If you anticipate submitting substantive 
comments, but find that more than 10 days from the date of publication 
are needed to prepare them, please notify the OMB official of your 
intent immediately.

Comments Are Invited On

    Whether the proposed collections of information are 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 
collections; 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.
    A comment to OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB 
receives it within 30 days of publication.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on November 9, 1998.
