OMB Approval No.: 2138-0016.
Title: Report of Extension of Credit to Political Candidates.
Form No.: 183.
Type Of Review: Extension of a currently approved reporting
requirement.
Respondents: Certificated air carriers.
Number of Respondents: 2 (Monthly Average).
Number of Responses: 24.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Total Annual Burden: 24 hours.
Needs and Uses: The Department uses this form as the means to
fulfill its obligation under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971
(the Act). The Act's legislative history indicates that one of its
statutory goals is to prevent candidates for Federal political office
from incurring large amounts of unsecured debt with regulated
transportation companies (e.g., airlines). This information collection
allows the Department to monitor and disclose the amount of unsecured
credit extended by airlines to candidates for Federal office. All
certificated air carriers are required to submit this information.
The Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency
Act of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501 note), requires a statistical agency to
clearly identify information it collects for non-statistical purposes.
BTS hereby notifies the respondents and the public that BTS uses the
information it collects under this OMB approval for non-statistical
purposes including, but not limited to, publication of both
Respondent's identity and its data, and submission of the information
to agencies outside BTS for review, analysis and possible use in
regulatory and other administrative matters.
Comments are invited on whether the proposed retention of records
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Department of Transportation.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 31, 2018.
William Chadwick, Jr.,
Director, Office of Airline Information, Bureau of Transportation
Statistics.
