SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Exemptions for Air Taxi Operations.
    OMB Control Number: 2105-0565.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a Previously Approved Information 
Collection.
    Abstract: Part 298 of title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 
Exemptions for Air Taxi Registration, establishes a classification of 
air carriers known as air taxi operators that offer on-demand passenger 
service. The regulation exempts these small operators from certain 
provisions of the Federal statute to permit them to obtain economic 
authority by filing a one-page, front and back, OST Form 4507, Air Taxi 
Operator Registration, and Amendments under part 298 of DOT's 
Regulations.
    The number of respondents and the total annual burden have been 
updated since the 60-day Notice was published. This 30-day Notice 
reflects the change in number of new air taxi registrations and amended 
air taxi registrations expected by DOT.
    DOT expects to receive 50 new air taxi registrations and 2,000 
amended air taxi registrations each year, resulting in 2,050 total 
respondents. Further, DOT expects filers of new registrations to take 1 
hour to complete the form, while it should only take 30 minutes to 
prepare amendments to the form. Thus, the total annual burden is 
expected to be 1,050 hours.
    Affected Public: U.S. air taxi operators.
    Number of Respondents: 2,050.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Number of Responses: 2,050.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,050 hours.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 
35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 3, 2022.
