Title: Disclosure of Seat Dimensions to Facilitate the Use of Child
Safety Seats on Airplanes During Passenger-Carrying Operations.
Form Numbers: N/A.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on September 21, 2021 (86 FR 52544). Section 412 of the
FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-95) specifically
required the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct
rulemaking ``[T]o require each air carrier operating under part 121 of
title 14, Code of Federal Regulations to post on the internet website
of the air carrier the maximum dimensions of a child safety seat that
can be used on each aircraft operated by the air carrier to enable
passengers to determine which child safety seats can be used on those
aircraft.'' As a result, the FAA amended 14 CFR 121.311, which requires
passenger carrying air carriers to make available on their websites the
width of the widest passenger seat in each class of service for each
make, model and series of airplane used in passenger-carrying
operations (80 FR 58575). Section 412 of Public Law 112-95 requires
that all air carriers provide this required information on their
internet websites. The vast majority of this burden occurred on a one-
time basis as air carriers initially provided information on their
websites in order to comply with the regulation. After initial
implementation, the only time air carriers need to update their
websites after initial implementation is when a new airplane make,
model, or series is introduced to an air carrier's fleet, or when an
air carrier replaces the widest or narrowest seats installed on an
existing airplane make, model, or series with wider or narrower seats.
The purpose of this collection is to facilitate the use of child
restraint systems onboard airplanes by providing greater information to
caregivers to help them determine whether a particular child restraint
system will fit in an airplane seat.
Respondents: Approximately 44 Operators.
Frequency: As required by regulation.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Varies per requirement.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 327 Hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on April 18, 2022.

Aviation Safety Inspector, AFS-260.
