SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following information collection was published on February 7, 2023 (88 FR 8039). No comments were received.

OMB Control Number: 2106-0030.

Title: Aircraft Accident Liability Insurance, 14 CFR part 205.

Type of Request: Extension of a previously approved collection.

Abstract: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 2,012 filed insurance certificates from U.S. air carriers and approximately 550 filed certificates from foreign air carriers. DOT expects to receive approximately 2,676 amended certificates each year from U.S. air carriers and approximately 732 amended filings from foreign air carriers. Total respondents expected is approximately 3,408. Further, DOT expects filers of certificates to take 30 minutes to complete the form and approximately 15 minutes (for approximately 5 percent of respondents) to prepare amendments to the form. Thus, the total annual burden is expected to be 894 hours.

Affected Public: U.S. and Foreign Air Carriers.

Number of Respondents: 2,562.

Frequency: On occasion.

Number of Responses: 3,408.

Total Annual Burden: 894 hours.

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 14 CFR part 215.

Issued in Washington, DC, on April 12, 2023.

Lauralyn Jean Remo Temprosa,

Associate Director, Air Carrier Fitness Division, Office of Aviation Analysis.
