SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA

information was published on September 17, 2024. In accordance with
Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 121.311, the
collection of data requires passenger carrying air carriers to make
available on their websites the width of the narrowest and widest
passenger seat in each class of service for each make, model and series
of airplane used in passenger-carrying operations. The collected
information will be utilized to support the use of child restraint
systems on airplanes.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 12, 2025.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--

collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the

OMB Control Number: 2120-0760.
Title: Disclosure of Seat Dimensions to Facilitate the Use of Child
Safety Seats on Airplanes During Passenger-Carrying Operations.
Form Numbers: None.
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 17, 2024 (89 FR 76177). 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 narrowest and widest passenger seat in each class of
service for each make, model and series of airplane used in passenger-
carrying operations. 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 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: 47 Part 121 Air Carriers.
Frequency: As Required by Regulation.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Varies per Requirement.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 348 hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on June 13, 2025.

Manager, Integration & Implementation Group, Air Transportation
Division.
