vehicle owners and a free remedy. See
49 U.S.C. 30118–20. That does not
excuse ARC—the manufacturer and
designer of the inflators—from
complying with its own obligations
under the Safety Act and regulations.
To address the risk that additional
vehicle occupants will be killed and
injured from these rupturing inflators,
the agency has made this initial
determination that the subject hybrid,
toroidal inflators designed by ARC and
manufactured by ARC and Delphi from
2000 through January 2018 are defective
and pose an unreasonable risk of death
or injury, and therefore should be
recalled.
Pursuant to the Safety Act, NHTSA
may make a final decision ‘‘only after
giving the manufacturer[s] an
opportunity to present information,
views, and arguments showing that
there is no defect or noncompliance or
that the defect does not affect motor
vehicle safety. Any interested person
also shall be given an opportunity to
present information, views, and
arguments.’’ 49 U.S.C. 30118(b)(1). If
NHTSA makes a final decision that the
subject inflators contain a safety defect,
NHTSA will order ARC to comply with
the obligation to file notice of the safety
defect with the agency 18 and will order
the vehicle manufacturers to carry out
recalls by providing notice and a free
remedy. See id. § 30118(b)(2).

[Docket No. DOT–OST–2016–0023]

Extension of a Previously Approved
Collection: Public Charters
Office of the Secretary,
Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Department of Transportation (DOT)
invites the general public, industry and
other governmental parties to comment
on Public Charters. A Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
information collection was published on
April 21, 2023. No comments were
received.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by October 10, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding
the burden estimate, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, to
the Office of Management and Budget,
Attention: Desk Officer for the Office of
the Secretary of Transportation, 725
17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503.
Comments may also be sent via email to
OMB at the following address: oira_

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Reather Flemmings (202–366–1865) and
Mr. Brett Kruger (202–366–8025), Office
of the Secretary, Office of International
Aviation, U.S. Air Carrier Licensing/
Special Authorities Division–X44, 1200
New Jersey Ave. SE, Washington, DC
20590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2106–0005.
Title: Public Charters, 14 CFR part
380.
Form Numbers: 4532, 4533, 4534,
4535.
Type of Review: Extension of a
Previously Approved Collection: The
current OMB inventory has not
changed.
Abstract: 14 CFR part 380 establishes
regulations embodying the Department’s
terms and conditions for Public Charter
operators to conduct air transportation
using direct air carriers. Public Charter
operators arrange transportation for
groups of people on chartered aircraft.
This arrangement is often less expensive
for the travelers than individually
buying a ticket. Part 380 exempts
charter operators from certain
provisions of the U.S. code in order that
they may provide this service. A
primary goal of part 380 is to seek

protection for the consumer.
Accordingly, the rule stipulates that the
charter operator must file evidence (a
prospectus—consisting of OST Forms
4532, 4533, 4534, 4535, and supporting
financial documents) with the
Department for each charter program
certifying that it has entered into a
binding contract with a direct air carrier
to provide air transportation and that it
has also entered into agreements with
Department-approved financial
institutions for the protection of charter
participants’ funds. The prospectus
must be accepted by the Department
prior to the operator’s advertising,
selling or operating the charter. If the
prospectus information were not
collected it would be extremely difficult
to assure compliance with agency rules
and to assure that public security and
other consumer protection requirements
were in place for the traveling public.
The information collected is available
for public inspection (unless the
respondent specifically requests
confidential treatment). Part 380 does
not provide any assurances of
confidentiality.
Burden Statement: Completion of all
forms in a prospectus can be
accomplished in approximately two
hours (30 minutes per form) for new
filers and one hour for amendments
(existing filings). The forms are
simplified and request only basic
information about the proposed
programs and the private sector filer.
The respondent can submit a filing to
operate for up to one year and include
as many flights as desired, in most
cases. If an operator chooses to make
changes to a previously approved
charter operation, then the operator is
required by regulations to file revisions
to its original prospectus.
Respondents: Private Sector: Air
carriers; tour operators; the general
public (including groups and
individuals, corporations and
Universities or Colleges, etc.).
Number of Respondents: 245.
Number of Responses: 1,782.
Total Annual Burden: 891.
Frequency of Responses:
245 (respondents) × 4 = 980
401 (amendments from the same
respondents) × 2 = 802
Total estimated responses: 980 + 802 =
1,782
The frequency of response is
dependent upon whether the operator is
requesting a new program or amending
an existing prospectus. Variations occur
due to the respondents’ criteria. On
average four responses (forms 4532,
4533, 4534 and/or 4535) are required for
filing new prospectuses and two of the

responses (forms) are required for
amendments. The separate hour burden
estimate is as follows:
Total Annual Burden: 891 hours.
Approximately 1,782 (responses) × 0.50
(per form) = 891
Public Comments Invited: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
the Department’s estimate of the burden
of the proposed information collection;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, by the use of electronic
means, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. All responses
to this notice will be summarized and
included in the request for OMB
approval. All comments will also
become a matter of public record.
A Federal Register Notice with a 60day comment period on the information
collection was published on April 21,
2023 (88 FR 24659).
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as
