SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Approval No. 2138-0004.
    Title: Submission of Audit Reports--Part 248.
    Form No.: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Large certificated air carriers.
    Number of Respondents: 60.
    Number of Responses: 60.
    Total Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Total Annual Burden: 15 hours.
    Needs and Uses: BTS collects independent audited financial reports 
from U.S. certificated air carriers. Carriers not having an annual 
audit must file a statement that no such audit has been performed. In 
lieu of the audit report, BTS will accept the annual report submitted

of Transportation as: (1) A means to monitor an air carrier's 
continuing fitness to operate; (2) reference material used by analysts 
in examining foreign route cases; (3) reference material used by 
analysts in examining proposed mergers, acquisitions and 
consolidations; (4) a means whereby BTS sends a copy of the report to 
the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in fulfillment of 
a United States treaty obligation; and, (5) corroboration of a 
carrier's Form 41 filings.
    The Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency 
Act of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501), requires a statistical agency to clearly 
identify information it collects for non-statistical purposes. BTS 
hereby notifies the respondents and the public that BTS uses the 
information it collects under this OMB approval for non-statistical 
purposes including, but not limited to, publication of both 
Respondent's identity and its data, and submission of the information 
to agencies outside BTS for review, analysis and possible use in 
regulatory and other administrative matters.
    Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of 
information

[[Page 26340]]

is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the 
Department concerning consumer protection. Comments should address 
whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of 
the Department's estimate of the burden of the proposed information 
collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
