Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on January 29, 2026, (91 FR 3976). 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 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, states the requirement for air
carriers operating under part 121 to submit a plan pursuant to 2018
reauthorization act, section 551. It then goes on to say, ``any air
carrier formed after the date of enactment of this Act should develop
and implement an Employee Assault Prevention and Response Plan.''
Respondents: 9 Part 121 Air Carriers.
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 March 26, 2026.

Aviation Safety Inspector, AFS-940.
