On
January 24, 2024, DOT published a 60day notice in the Federal Register
soliciting comment on the reinstatement
of the previously approved ICR OMB
control number 2105–0552, ‘‘Reports by
Air Carriers on Incidents Involving
Animals During Air Transport.’’ 2 DOT
received one comment on the 60-day
notice, which is summarized below.
Title: Reports by Air Carriers on
Incidents Involving Animals During Air
Transport.
OMB Control Number: 2105–0552.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of a
previously approved ICR.
Background: The Wendell H. Ford
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for
the 21st Century or ‘‘AIR–21’’ (Pub. L.
106–181), which was signed into law on
April 5, 2000, includes section 710,
‘‘Reports by Carriers on Incidents
Involving Animals During Air
Transport.’’ This provision was codified
as 49 U.S.C. 41721. The statute requires
air carriers that provide scheduled
passenger air transportation to submit
monthly to the Secretary of
Transportation a report on any incidents
involving the loss, injury, or death of an
animal (as defined by the Secretary of
Transportation) during air transport
provided by the air carrier.
On August 11, 2003, DOT, through its
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),
issued a final rule implementing section
710 of AIR–21.3 The rule required air
carriers that provide scheduled
passenger air transportation to submit a
report to APHIS on any incident
involving the loss, injury, or death of an
animal during air transportation
provided by the air carrier. Due to issues
regarding whether APHIS had the
capability to accept such information
directly from the carriers, DOT made a
technical change in the rule on February
14, 2005, to require air carriers to
submit the required information directly
to DOT’s Aviation Consumer Protection
Division (ACPD) rather than APHIS and
to make the rule part of DOT’s economic
regulations.4
On July 3, 2014, DOT published a
final rule amending the requirement
that air carriers file reports with DOT on
the loss, injury, or death of animals

during air transport.5 The rule (1)
expanded the reporting requirement
from the largest U.S. carriers (i.e., U.S.
carriers that account for at least 1
percent of domestic scheduled
passenger revenue) to U.S. carriers that
operate scheduled service with at least
one aircraft with a design capacity of
more than 60 seats; (2) expanded the
definition of ‘‘animal’’ from only a pet
in a family household to include all cats
and dogs transported by covered
carriers, regardless of whether the cat or
dog is transported as a pet by its owner
or as part of a commercial shipment
(e.g., shipped by a breeder); (3) required
covered carriers to file a calendar-year
report in December, even if the carrier
did not have any reportable incidents
during the calendar year; (4) required
covered carriers to provide in their
December reports the total number of
animals that were lost, injured, or died
during air transport in the calendar year;
and (5) required covered carriers to
provide in their December reports the
total number of animals transported in
the calendar year.
The ICR, ‘‘Reports by Air Carriers on
Incidents Involving Animals During Air
Transport,’’ OMB Control Number
2105–0552, was renewed twice: on
August 25, 2015, OMB approved the
reinstatement of the ICR through August
31, 2018, and on October 11, 2018, OMB
approved the reinstatement of the ICR
through October 31, 2021.
The PRA and its implementing
regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require
Federal agencies to issue two notices
seeking public comment on information
collection activities before OMB may
approve paperwork packages. A Federal
agency generally cannot conduct or
sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to
respond to an information collection,
unless it is approved by the OMB under
the PRA and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to monetary penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
if the collection of information does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
As noted above, on January 24, 2024,
DOT published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register soliciting comment on
the reinstatement of this previously
approved ICR. DOT received one
comments in response to the notice.
However, this comment is outside the
scope of the ICR and does not discuss
5 Reports by Air Carriers on Incidents Involving
Animals During Air Transport, 79 FR 37938 (July
3, 2014) (codified at 14 CFR part 235).

the proposed collection of information
and the estimated burden.
DOT announces that this ICR has been
re-evaluated and certified under 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12(c). Before OMB decides
whether to approve these proposed
collections of information, it must
provide 30 days for public comment.6
Federal law requires OMB to approve or
disapprove paperwork packages
between 30 and 60 days after the 30-day
notice is published.7 The 30-day notice
informs the regulated community to file
relevant comments and affords the
agency adequate time to digest public
comments before it renders a decision.8
Therefore, respondents should submit
their respective comments to OMB
within 30 days of publication to best
ensure their full consideration. The
summaries below describe the nature of
the ICR and the expected burden. The
unchanged requirements are being
submitted for clearance by OMB as
required by the PRA.
Respondents: U.S. carriers that
operate scheduled passenger service
with at least one aircraft having a
designed seating capacity of more than
60 seats.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
30.
Frequency: For each respondent, one
information set for the month of
December, plus one information set
during some other months (1 to 12).
Estimated Total Burden on
Respondents: (1) Monthly reports of
incidents involving the loss, injury, or
death of animals during air transport: 0
to 360 hours (Respondents [30] × Time
to Prepare One Monthly Report [1 hour]
× Frequency [0 to 12 per year]). (2)
December report containing the total
number of animals that were lost,
injured, or died during air transport in
the calendar year and the total number
of animals that were transported in the
calendar year: 15 hours (Respondents
[30] × Time to Prepare One December
Report [0.5 hour] × Frequency [1 per
year]).
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 the
Department’s performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c)
ways for the Department to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collection; and (d) ways
that the burden could be minimized
