[[Page 14311]]

November 8, 2017. The collection involves requesting that small on-
demand operators voluntarily provide the number of revenue passengers 
that boarded their aircraft at each airport annually. This information 
is used in determining an airport's category and eligibility for 
federal funding on an annual basis. It is not available through any 
other federal data source.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by May 3, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of 
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to 
[email protected], or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to 
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management 
and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, 
DC 20503.
    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 FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0067.
    Title: Air Taxi and Commercial Operator Airport Activity Survey.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 1800-31.
    Type of Review: Clearance of a renewal of an information 
collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on September 8, 2009 (74 FR 46292). The data collected 
through this survey is the only source of data for charter and 
nonscheduled passenger data by Part 135 operator (air taxis). The data 
received on the form (either paper or signed electronic copy) is then 
incorporated into the Air Carrier Activity Information System which is 
used to determine whether an airport is eligible for Airport 
Improvement Program funds and for calculating primary airport sponsor 
apportionment as specified by title 49 United Stated Code (U.S.C.), 
section 47114. The data collected on the form includes passenger 
enplanements by carrier and by airport. Passengers traveling on air 
taxis would be overlooked entirely if this passenger survey were not 
conducted. As a result, many airports would not receive their fair 
share of funds since there is currently no other source for this type 
of charter activity. In each of the last 3 years, approximately 150 
operators have reported a total 1.1 million passengers. This data is 
important to those airports that struggle to meet the 2,500 and 10,000 
passenger levels and could not do so without the reporting of the 
charter passengers.
    Respondents: The voluntary survey is sent through the U.S. Postal 
Service to approximately 300 small on-demand operators (certificated 
under Federal Aviation Regulation Part 135) that have reported activity 
in the last three years. The form is also available on the FAA website.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1.5 hours per respondent.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: On average, approximately 150 
respondents submit an annual response. The cumulative total annual 
burden is estimated to be 225 hours.
