SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2105-0565.
Title: Exemptions for Air Taxi Operations.
Form Numbers: OST Form 4507.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: 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.
DOT expects to receive 200 new air taxi registrations and 2,200
amended air taxi registrations each year, resulting in 2,400 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 1,300 hours.
Respondents: U.S. air taxi operators.
Number of Respondents: 2,400.
Frequency: On occasion.
Number of Responses: 2,400.
Total Annual Burden: 1,300 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for [your office]'s performance;
(b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for DOT to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
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 May 31, 2022.
