Abstract:
The Enhancing Airline Passenger Protections Rule, as currently effective, amended, and newly adopted, requires the following paperwork requirements for each covered carrier: (i) retain for two years certain information about any ground delay that lasts at least three hours, (ii) audit its own adherence to its Customer Service Plan annually and retain the results for two years, (iii) display information concerning listed flights' on-time performance for the previous month on its website for both its flights and those of its non-reporting code-share carriers and (iv) report all passenger operations that experience a tarmac time of three hours or more at a U.S. airport. The information collection furthers the objectives of 49 U.S.C. §§ 41712, 40101(a)(4), 40101(a)(9), and 41702 to protect consumers from unfair or deceptive practices, and to ensure safe and adequate service in air transportation. The regulation also supports the Department of Transportation's (Department) strategic goal of global connectivity by reducing barriers to trade and enhancing competition

Short Statement:
There is an increase in burden hours/costs as related to the requirement to “Display Flight Information on Websites.” More specifically, as of January 1, 2018, there is a change in the regulation (14 CFR 234.11) with regard to size of “reporting” carriers that must comply with the rule and one new “reporting” carrier will need to revise its website to be compliant. There was also a slight increase in burden/costs as related to the tarmac delay provisions, as the number of reportable delays used to calculate the burden hours increased during this cycle. Overall, there was a slight decrease in 1) respondents per category and 2) hourly wage/benefits (based on 2017 DOL wage tables). For more explanation/information, see the attached “Supporting Statement.”
