    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.

this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed

(b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for [your office] 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.
