| 01-22041 | Agency Information Collection; Activity Under OMB Review; Reporting the Causes of Airline Cancellations and Delays | Notice | In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13, the BTS invites the general public, industry and other governmental parties to comment on air carriers voluntarily reporting on the causes of cancellations and delays of domestic scheduled passenger flights. The voluntary data submission would be used to identify specific problem areas within the national aviation system. By classifying causes of delays into four categories and causes of cancellations into three categories, the Department of Transportation (DOT) would be able to readily identify problem areas within the air transport system. With this knowledge, the DOT should be able to address the airline delays and cancellations within its control. The DOT is in the process of submitting an emergency request to OMB to allow BTS to collect the voluntary causal data. BTS estimates that participating air carriers will be ready to begin voluntary reporting in early November, thus BTS is seeking OMB emergency approval rather than the normal approval process established in 5 CFR Part 1320. The participating air carriers regard their causal data as confidential, proprietary business information; and have agreed to voluntarily submit the data on the condition that the Federal government use the data for internal purposes and not published or released the data to the general public. In addition, the air carriers expressed concerns that, at least initially, there would be technical difficulties with the new voluntary reporting system which could affect the accuracy of the resulting information. While BTS believes that reports on causal data will eventually be useful to airline consumers, this information must be is accurate and reliable. Thus, BTS has agreed to treat the air carriers' voluntary casual data as confidential business information. In order to gather public comment on a delay and cancellation reporting system, BTS is drafting a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that will propose the framework for a reporting system. Once the NPRM becomes a final rule, BTS intends release and publish causal data. | 2001-08-31 | 2001 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/08/31/01-22041/agency-information-collection-activity-under-omb-review-reporting-the-causes-of-airline | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-08-31/pdf/01-22041.pdf | Transportation Department; Transportation Statistics Bureau | 492,495 | In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13, the BTS invites the general public, industry and other governmental parties to comment on air carriers voluntarily reporting on the causes of cancellations and delays of... |
