TThe DOT is obligated by statue to
collect and disseminate the data collected in the Origin and
Destination data collection. The collection is mandatory and is
required to obtain benefit of the data. All US certificated air
carriers that sell airline passenger tickets are required to
report. The data collection being collected is considered
reporting. The collection frequency is monthly. The data collected
are itineraries of passenger’s air travel. Data reported includes
passenger’s origin, destination, year and month traveled, fare
paid, total taxes paid, via point(s), dwell time, air carrier that
sold the ticket to the passenger, and air carrier that is scheduled
to transport the passenger. The users of the data are, including,
but not limited to, the DOT, Federal Aviation Administration,
Government Accountability Office, Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Airport Commissions, Aircraft Manufacturers, Air
Carriers, and Educational Institutions. The DOT is obligated by
statute to collect and disseminate this information. There are many
private and public stakeholders that depend on these data to make
decisions on aviation business and policy. For example, these data
are used by the aviation industry to plan air services, develop
commercial aviation infrastructure, measure the economic impact of
passenger flows, and create business plans for start-up airlines.
The Origin and Destination data are also a primary source of
information used to quantify and evaluate the effectiveness of
Federal Aviation policy and programs as well as develop and
implement new policies and infrastructure initiatives. Data from
the O&D data set are used by the Department to fulfill its
aviation mission as described in Part A of the Justification. This
is not a revision.
DOT has reduced the number of
expected responses, thus also reducing burden hours. Additionally,
cost to respondent was removed as this was erroneously included in
previous submission but was as an error as this amount only
represents estimated labor costs.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
