SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Aircraft Accident Liability Insurance, 14 CFR part 205.
OMB Control Number: 2105-0030.
Type of Request: Renewal of a Previously Approved Information
Collection.
Abstract: 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.
49 U.S.C. 41112 provides that an air carrier may not be issued or
continue to hold air carrier authority unless it has filed with DOT
evidence that it possesses insurance in accordance with DOT
regulations. 14 CFR part 205 establishes procedures for filing evidence
of liability insurance for air carriers and contains the minimum
requirements for air carrier accident liability insurance to protect
the public from losses and directs that certificates evidencing
appropriate coverage must be filed with the Department. This insurance
information is submitted to DOT using OST Form 6410 (U.S. air carriers)
or OST Form 6411 (foreign air carriers). DOT expects to receive
approximately 1,284 filed insurance certificates from U.S. air carriers
and approximately 429 filed certificates from foreign air carriers. DOT
expects to receive approximately 1,708 amended certificates each year
from U.S. air carriers and approximately 571 amended filings from
foreign air carriers. Total respondents expected is approximately
2,279. Further, DOT expects filers of certificates to take 15-30
minutes to complete the form with about 5 percent (114 responses) of
all responses to continue to be handwritten requiring 30 minutes for
completion and the remaining 95 percent (2,165 responses) using the
fillable forms. The total annual burden is expected to be 599 hours.
Affected Public: U.S. and Foreign Air Carriers.
Number of Respondents: 1,713.
Frequency: On occasion.
Number of Responses: 2,279.
Total Annual Burden: 599 hours.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter
35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48.
Issued in Washington, DC.

Analysis.
