Title: Employee Assault Prevention and Response Plan.
Form Numbers: There are no forms associated with this collection.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: On October 5, 2018, Congress enacted Public Law 115-
254, the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (``the Act''). Section 551 of
the Act required air carriers operating under Title 14 CFR part 121 to
submit to the FAA for review and acceptance an Employee Assault
Prevention and Response Plan (EAPRP) related to the customer service
agents of the air carrier that is developed in consultation with the
labor union representing such agents. Section 551(b) of the Act
contains the required contents of the EAPRP, including reporting
protocols for air carrier customer service agents who have been the
victim of a verbal or physical assault.
On May 16, 2024, Congress enacted Public Law 118-63. In the 2024
reauthorization act, section 434, reiterates the requirement for air
carriers operating under part 121 to submit an Employee Assault
Prevention and Response Plan pursuant to 2018 reauthorization act,
section 551. Section 434 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024
reiterates congressional support for these requirements and adds a
requirement for the FAA to brief Congress on submitted plans, but does
not create new reporting or recordkeeping obligations for air carriers.
Respondents: Part 121 Air Carriers of Title 14 CFR.
Frequency: Once for a new submission or revision of plan.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 20 hours for a new plan, 2
hours for a revision.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: $3,868.
Issued in Washington, DC, on January 27, 2026.
