Abstract: This is a mandatory collection from large certificated air carriers. Section 401 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (2 U.S.C. 451) directed the Civil Aeronautics Board to promulgate regulations with respect to the extension of credit for air transportation furnished to candidates for Federal office, or any person acting on their behalf, in connection with political campaigns. Title 14 Code of Federal Regulation Part 374a (14 CFR Part 374a) was adopted to implement this requirement. Form 183 was designed as the means for reporting credit extended to political candidates for air transportation services and is reported on a monthly basis. It is then reported to the Federal Elections Commission. Section 4(a)(7) of the Civil Aeronautics Board Sunset Act of 1984 transferred the responsibility for administering this reporting to the Secretary of Transportation. This is an extension to a current collection.
