In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 this notice announces the Department of Transportation's (Department) intention to reinstate an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number as related to the Disclosure of Code-Sharing Arrangements and Long-Term Wet Leases. The growth in the use of code-sharing, wet- leasing, and similar marketing tools, particularly in international air transportation, led the Department on March 15, 1999, to adopt specific regulations requiring the disclosure of code-sharing arrangements and long-term wet leases by air carriers (U.S. and foreign) and ticket agents via oral, written, and internet communications. In a recent final rule published in the Federal Register on November 3, 2016, titled ``Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections'', the Department, among other things, amended the code-share disclosure regulation to require that carriers and ticket agents must disclose any code-share arrangements on their Web sites, including mobile Web sites and applications; clarify the format in which that information must be displayed; and specify that verbal code-share disclosures should be made the first time a flight involving a code-share arrangement is offered to consumers or the first time a consumer inquiries about such a flight whether by telephone or in person conversations.

Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB 
Agency Request for Renewal of a Previously Approved Collection: 
Disclosure of Code-Sharing Arrangements and Long-Term Wet Leases

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 this 
notice announces the Department of Transportation's (Department) 
intention to reinstate an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control 
number as related to the Disclosure of Code-Sharing Arrangements and 
Long-Term Wet Leases. The growth in the use of code-sharing, wet-
leasing, and similar marketing tools, particularly in international air 
transportation, led the Department on March 15, 1999, to adopt specific 
regulations requiring the disclosure of code-sharing arrangements and 
long-term wet leases by air carriers (U.S. and foreign) and ticket 
agents via oral, written, and internet communications. In a recent 
final rule published in the Federal Register on November 3, 2016, 
titled ``Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections'', the Department, 
among other things, amended the code-share disclosure regulation to 
require that carriers and ticket agents must disclose any code-share 
arrangements on their Web sites, including mobile Web sites and 
applications; clarify the format in which that information must be 
displayed; and specify that verbal code-share disclosures should be 
made the first time a flight involving a code-share arrangement is 
offered to consumers or the first time a consumer inquiries about such 
a flight whether by telephone or in person conversations.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 13, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2105-0537.
    Title: Disclosure of Code-Sharing Arrangements and Long-Term Wet 
Leases.
    Abstract: Code-sharing is the name given to a common airline 
industry marketing practice where, by mutual agreement between 
cooperating carriers, at least one of the airline designator codes used 
on a flight is different from that of the airline operating the 
aircraft. In one version of code-sharing, two or more airlines each use 
their own designator codes on the same aircraft operation. Although 
only one airline operates the flight, each airline in a code-sharing 
arrangement may hold out, market, and sell the flight as its own in 
published schedules. Code-sharing also refers to other arrangements, 
such as when a code on a passenger's ticket is not that of the operator 
of the flight, but where the operator does not hold out the service in 
its own name. Such code-sharing arrangements are common between 
commuter air carriers and their larger affiliates. In a wet lease 
situation, a leasing arrangement is made whereby the lessor provides 
both an aircraft and crew to a lessee dedicated to a certain route 
under either an agreement that lasts more than 60 days or under a 
series of such lease agreements that amount to a continuing arrangement 
lasting more than 60 days.
    Although code-sharing and wet-lease arrangements can offer 
significant consumer benefits, they can also be misleading unless 
consumers know the identity of the airline operating the flight. The 
growth in the use of code-sharing and wet-leasing, particularly in 
international air transportation, led the Department to adopt specific 
regulations requiring the disclosure of code-sharing arrangements and 
long-term wet leases on March 15, 1999 (14 CFR part 257). More 
specifically, the rule requires carriers to provide information about 
their code-share relationships in written or electronic schedule 
information provided by carriers to the public (e.g., the Official 
Airline Guide/OAG). The rule also requires carriers and ticket agents 
to disclose code-share information in written notice at the time of a 
ticket purchase. Further, the regulation requires those entities to 
tell prospective consumers in all oral communications that the 
transporting airline is not the airline whose designator code will 
appear on travel documents and to identify the transporting airline by 
its corporate name and any other name under which that service is held 
out to the public.
    In 2010, to further enhance these consumer protections, Congress 
enacted by Public Law 111-216, sec. 210 (August 1, 2010), which was 
codified as 49 U.S.C. 41712(c). Among other things, the statute 
requires ticket agents and air carriers (U.S. and foreign) to disclose 
in oral communication or in written or electronic communications 
(including on the internet), prior to the purchase of a ticket, the 
name of the air carrier providing the air transportation and, if the 
flight has more than one segment, the name of each air carrier 
providing the air transportation for each flight segment. The statute 
also requires ticket agents and air carriers (U.S. and foreign) that 
sell tickets on an Internet Web site to disclose the required 
information on the first display of their Web site following a 
consumer's search of a requested itinerary in a format that is easily 
visible.
    In a recent final rule, Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections III 
(81 FR 76800, November 3, 2016), the Department clarified its code-
share disclosure regulation to ensure that carriers and ticket agents 
disclose code-share arrangements in schedules, advertisements, and 
communications with consumers. The rule amended the Department's code-
share disclosure regulation to codify the statutory requirement that 
carriers and ticket agents must in a format that is easily visible to a 
viewer disclose any code-share arrangements on the first display of the 
Web site following itinerary search results; clarify that the 
requirement for code-share disclosures in flight itinerary search 
results and flight schedule displays includes information provided by 
airlines via mobile Web sites and applications; clarify the format in 
which that information must be displayed; and specify that verbal code-
share disclosures should be made the first time a flight involving a 
code-share arrangement is offered to consumers or inquired about by 
consumers during telephone or in person conversations.
    As most of these provisions are implementing the statutory 
requirement

[[Page 42878]]

enacted in 2010, carriers and ticket agents should already be complying 
with most of the requirements.\1\ The aspect of the provision which is 
new is the specification of when during a telephone or in-person 
booking process a carrier or ticket agent must disclose the code-share 
information, which may result in additional compliance costs for some 
carriers and ticket agents. Those additional costs would be borne by 
those carriers and ticket agents that currently do not present code-
share information at the first mention of a flight during a reservation 
call or in-person booking. As such, these carriers and ticket agents 
may have slightly longer reservation calls and longer in-person 
bookings. However, the disclosure at a point during the information 
gathering and decision-making process was already required so the 
additional time, if any, would be minimal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The regulated entities that have a Web site should already 
have the required information programmed in their systems and that 
information should already appear on their Web sites. Thus, the 
incremental costs to add the information to mobile Web sites and 
applications should be small. To the extent there are any costs, 
they could be minimized if any necessary changes were incorporated 
at the same time as another upgrade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition to costs for additional agent time during some calls 
and in-person bookings, some respondents may have a slight increase in 
their training costs, as they modify their trainings to note that code-
share information must be shared when the flight is first presented to 
the consumer.\2\ These additional training costs are likely to be 
incurred only by those respondents which do not already present code-
share information at the first mention of a flight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The costs are minimal if this change is incorporated into 
agent curricula during the same time as other updates and/or sent in 
an update bulletin via the carrier's/travel agent's intranet system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 
of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to 
an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the 
PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, 
notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally 
be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information if the collection of information does not display a valid 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    This notice addresses the information collection requirements set 
forth in the Department's regulation requiring disclosure of code-share 
and wet-leases, 14 CFR 257. The reinstated OMB control number will be 
applicable to all the provisions set forth in this notice. The title, a 
description of the respondents, and an estimate of the annual 
recordkeeping and periodic reporting burden are set forth below:
    Title: Disclosure of Code-Sharing Arrangements and Long Term Wet 
Leases in Flight Itineraries and Schedules, Oral Communications with 
Prospective Consumers, Ticket Confirmations, and Advertisements.
    Respondents: All U.S. air carriers, foreign air carriers, Global 
Distribution Systems (GDSs, formerly known as computer reservations 
systems), and travel agents doing business in the United States.
    Number of Respondents: 5,031 (estimated 48 marketing carriers and 
4,983 travel agents/GDSs).
    Frequency:
    For transactions involving oral communications: 15 seconds per call 
(to reveal the code-share information) and an average of 1.5 calls per 
trip (a total of 22.5 seconds per respondent) for the approximately 25% 
to 39% (using 2016 Bureau of Transportation Statistic's ((BTS)) data) 
of itineraries that involve personal contact/phone call and a code-
share itinerary.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Per BTS data, there were 932 million enplanements in 2016 
(34% of these flights involve a one-way ticket and 66% involve 
round-trip travel). It is estimated that 20% of these travelers make 
a call to an airline or travel agent to book a ticket or obtain 
information about a flight and each traveler will only need to 
obtain the information once per travel itinerary. Of those travel 
itineraries, 25% to 39% involve a code-share flight in which an 
agent must reveal that information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For transactions involving written and internet disclosure: The 
burden should be minimal to non-existent as many airlines are already 
required to submit certain code-share related information to BTS \4\ 
and/or already have code-share information available on their Web 
sites.\5\ In addition, the marketing airlines currently provide 
information about their code-share flights to the GDSs who, in turn, 
provide that information to travel agents. As the code-share 
information is integrated into the data provided by the airlines to 
GDSs and travel agents, the code-share information is automatically 
displayed on the internet/computer, as well as on a printed version of 
an itinerary/ticket.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Large U.S. carriers must provide BTS with information for 
the ``Airline Passenger and Destination Survey.'' The reported 
information must include the name of the marketing carrier, as well 
as the operating carrier of the flight (which may be a regional or 
foreign carrier).
    \5\ For example, many ``reporting'' carriers (e.g., United 
Airlines) disclose on their Web sites on-time performance 
information for their domestic code-share flights.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Total Annual Burden: Annual reporting burden for this data 
collection is estimated at 195,138 to 304,415- hours for all travel 
agents and airline ticket agents who have personal contact with a 
consumer. Most of this data collection is accomplished through 
travelers using highly automated computerized systems to make their air 
travel reservation(s) and the data is already available on the 
regulated entities Web sites and/or is programmed into their database/
reservation systems.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the Department's 
performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for the 
Department 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.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48.
