[Docket No. 2024–0217]

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of
Information Collection: Air Taxi and
Commercial Operator Airport Activity
Survey
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our
intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval renew information collection.
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 March 26, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Please send written
comments:
By Electronic Docket:
www.regulations.gov (Enter docket
number into search field).
By mail: Luis Loarte, FAA, 800
Independence Avenue SW, Washington,
DC 20591.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis
Loarte by email at: Luis.Loarte@faa.gov;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.
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 data collected
through this survey is the only source of
data for charter and nonscheduled
passenger data 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.
On average, approximately 70 operators
respond each year, reporting a total 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: A cover letter and
instructions are sent through the United
Parcel Service. The cover letter and
instructions provide the carriers with
the Airports External Portal (faa.gov)
(AEP) site and the password for the
voluntary Airport Activity Survey form.
The cover letter and password for the
Airport Activity Survey form is sent to
approximately 150 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. We allowed electronic
submittals of the voluntary survey
beginning with calendar year 2020 data.
Operators can electronically access the
form, sign, and submit to the FAA. The
Airports External Portal is used by
airports in the National Plan of
Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS).

Final Environmental Impact Statement
and Record of Decision for the
Earthquake Ready Burnside Bridge
Project
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

The FHWA is issuing this
notice to advise other Federal, State,
and local agencies, Tribes, and the
public that a combined Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)
and Record of Decision (ROD) have been
prepared in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act for
the Earthquake Ready Burnside Bridge
(EQRBB) Project to create a seismically
resilient Burnside Street lifeline route
crossing of the Willamette River in
Portland, Oregon.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Federal Highway Administration, 530

Manager, Federal Highway
Administration, 530 Center Street NE,
Suite 420, Salem, OR 97301; Telephone:
(503) 316–2549.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, the Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT), and Multnomah
County (County) propose to undertake
the seismic improvement of the
Burnside Bridge over the Willamette
River in Portland, Oregon. Federal
cooperating agencies in the preparation
of the FEIS and ROD include the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration National Marine
Fisheries Service, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, and the U.S. Coast Guard.
The EQRB Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) included a NoBuild Alternative and four build
alternatives. It identified one build
alternative (the Long-span Alternative)
as the Preferred Alternative. Following
the issuance of the Draft EIS, additional
cost and funding analysis identified a
substantial risk that the construction
costs of any of the build alternatives
would exceed $1 billion. The Selected
Alternative is anticipated to cost
between $830 to $915 million. This risk
led the County to direct the project team
to identify and evaluate ways to reduce
the Project’s construction costs while
still meeting the Project’s purpose and
need and striving to achieve the other
