SUMMARY: 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 to renew an information
collection. 14 CFR part 298 requires air carrier operators to obtain a
certificate of public convenience and necessity from the DOT, with the
exception of air taxi and commuter air operators.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 23, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120-0633.
Title: Exemptions for Air Taxi and Commuter Air Carrier Operations.
Form Numbers: OST Form 4507.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 14 part 298,
Exemptions for Air Taxi and Commuter Air Carrier Operations,
establishes two classifications of air carriers known as air taxi
operators and commuter air carriers, the latter being air taxis that
offer scheduled passenger service. Generally, they are small
businesses, and Part 298 sets a maximum on the size of the aircraft
they may operate. The regulation exempts these small operators from
certain provisions of the Federal statute to permit them to obtain
operating authority by filing a one-page OST Form 4705, Air Taxi
Operator and Commuter Air Carrier Registration, and amendments under
part 298 of the Regulations of the Department of Transportation (DOT).
Respondents: Approximately 2,040 air taxi operators and commuter
air carriers.
Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,026 hours.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Kathy
DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation Administration, AES-200, 6500 S.
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169.
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.
