Introduction

The purpose of this document is to provide a technical summary of the
Air Quality Analysis Branch’s (AQAB) review of the emissions
inventories submitted with the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Pennsylvania 8
Hour Ozone Redesignation Request, Maintenance Plan and State
Implementation Plan (SIP) Base Year Inventory by the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP).  This review does not
determine the approvability of the Redesignation Request or Maintenance
Plan; but it does determine the approvability of the SIP Base Year
Inventory.  Emissions inventories in a redesignation request are used to
show permanent and enforceable emission reductions between the year the
area was designated as a  nonattainment area and the year the area came
into attainment.  In a maintenance plan, the emissions inventories are
used to reflect the emissions during the time the area came into
attainment and are then projected to show that the area will remain in
attainment.  A SIP Base Year Inventory is the starting point from which
other SIP inventories are derived as well as serving as the benchmark
for other SIP planning activities, such as the establishment of an
emissions reduction credit program.  The Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Area
was designated as an 8 hour ozone nonattainment area with a Subpart 1
classification.  Subpart 1 area(s) are required to submit SIP base year
inventories to EPA by June 15, 2007.  PADEP has submitted a SIP base
year with this redesignation request and maintenance plan package and
has requested EPA’s approval.

II 	Emissions Inventories for Redesignation Request (Base Year
Inventory)

	In a redesignation request, emissions inventories are used to support
the States claim that the area has permanent and enforceable emissions
reductions.  In order to do this, the state should estimate the percent
reduction (from the year that was used to determine the design value for
designation and classification) achieved from federal and state control
measures; this is usually termed as the “base year” inventory. The
base year inventory contains VOC and NOx emissions for all source
categories, which includes point, area, onroad mobile, and nonroad
mobile for the ozone season.

	In the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton redesignation request, the base year
used was 2002.  The Point Source data for 2002 is derived from the
Pennsylvania Air Information Management System (AIMS).  The AIMS
database is comprised of sources identified and inventoried by PADEP’s
regional and central offices through permitting, field inspections, and
surveys.  Surveys are conducted annually as facilities must submit
emission estimates for various operations, throughputs, work hours, as
well as process data, such as combustion unit data and fuel
characteristics. For its redesignation request, PADEP provided its 2002
actual summer weekday emissions for NOx and VOC at the facility level
and by Source Classification Codes (SCCs).  “Summer weekday
emissions” is defined by PADEP as an average day’s emissions for a
typical summer day during the ozone season.

	For the 2002 Nonpoint Source emissions, also known as “area
sources,” PADEP provided an inventory that contained estimations of
emissions by multiplying an emission factor by some known indicator or
activity level for each category at the county level.  These emissions
are typically calculated on an annual basis because the activity data
are generally only available on an annual basis.  PADEP further
converted these annual emissions to seasonal emissions, for ozone, the
summer season is defined as peak ozone season months of June, July, and
August.  Seasonal estimates were calculated using default monthly and
weekly profiles from EPA’s Emissions Modeling Clearing House (EMCH).
Nonpoint source estimates were provided by SCC.

	The Nonroad Mobile Source 2002 inventory was prepared with EPA’s
NONROAD2005 model.  NONROAD estimates fuel consumption and emissions of
total hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide,
and particulate matter for all nonroad mobile source categories except
for aircraft, locomotives, and commercial marine vessels.  PADEP
provided emission estimates for locomotive engines and aircraft
emissions separately.  For locomotive engine emissions, PADEP projected
emissions from a 1999 survey using national fuel consumption information
and EPA emission and conversion factors.  Commercial aircraft operations
were significant in the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton area and were modeled
by the EPA’s Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS) model
directly.  Lehigh Valley International Airport (LVIA) accounts for all
commercial operations in the area.  All Nonroad mobile source emissions
were provided by SCC and classification.

	The Onroad Mobile Source 2002 emissions inventory was developed using
the most current version of EPA’s highway mobile source emissions
model MOBILE 6.2. PADEP also used PPSUITE, an enhanced version of the
Post Processor for Air Quality software systems used for previous
inventory and conformity submissions in Pennsylvania.  Traffic data
source and fleet data inputs were supplied by the 2002 PENNDOT Roadway
Management System.  PADEP provided Mobile6.2 input and output files for
review as a part of their redesignation request.  Mobile emissions
values were given in units of tons per summer day and were provided by
SCC.

AQAB staff reviewed the files and the emission results provided by PADEP
and found them to be reasonable for use in this redesignation request.

III.	Emissions Inventories for Maintenance Plan

2004 Attainment Year Inventory and Maintenance Plan Base Year Inventory

As stated earlier, emissions inventories are used to show emission
reductions for the area between the year of designation to nonattainment
and the year of attainment.  The inventory used for the year of
attainment is called the Attainment Year Inventory and also is referred
to as the Maintenance Plan Base Year Inventory.  This inventory is used
as the basis for the projected inventories that are used to show the
area will remain in attainment.  This section will discuss the 2004
Attainment Year Inventory that was used in the
Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Redesignation Request and Maintenance Plan
submitted by PADEP.

PADEP compiled an actual 2004 Point Source inventory for the
Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Redesignation Request and Maintenance Plan.
The 2004 point source inventory contained point source emissions derived
from the Pennsylvania Air Information Management System (AIMS).  As
previously discussed, AIMS houses all point source data compiled by
various programs (permitting, enforcement, etc.).  For its redesignation
request, PADEP provided its 2004 actual summer weekday emissions for NOx
and VOC at the facility level and by Source Classification Codes (SCCs).
 “Summer weekday emissions” is defined by PADEP as an average
day’s emissions for a typical summer day during the ozone season.

For the 2004 Nonpoint Source emissions, PADEP provided a projected
inventory from the 2002 inventory.  The factors used for the temporal
allocation of projections were provided by the Mid-Atlantic Regional Air
Management Association (MARAMA).  The factors were from EPA’s Sparse
Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions (SMOKE) v2.2 input files.  Data from
2004 area sources is a linear interpolation of between the 2002 base
year and the 2009 projected inventory.  Emissions were provided by SCC
and units were in tons per summer day.

	The 2004 emissions for Nonroad Mobile Source emissions were estimated
using the EPA NONROAD2005 model.  The NONROAD model estimates emissions
of total hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide,
and particulate matter for diesel, gasoline, liquefied petroleum
gasoline and compressed natural gas-fueled nonroad equipment categories.
 Locomotives and aircraft were developed separately by PADEP.  Just as
with the 2002 nonroad inventory, for locomotive emissions in 2004, PADEP
projected emissions from a 1999 survey using national fuel consumption
information and EPA emission and conversion factors.  For aircraft
emissions, airport specific data on aircraft operations were found at
HYPERLINK "http://www.transtats.bts.gov"  www.transtats.bts.gov  and
also the FAA’s Terminal Area Forecast found at
http://www.apo.data.faa.gov.  PADEP projected growth using the
forecasted operations for Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton in the Terminal
Area Forecast for 2002 to 2005.  Operation growth for LVIA served as a
surrogate for operation growth for airports in the entire area. PADEP
estimated small airport emissions using small airport operation
statistics and emission factors and operational characteristics in
EPA’s Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS).  Nonroad mobile
source emissions were provided by SCC and classification and were given
in units of tons per summer day.

	The Onroad Mobile Source 2004 emissions inventory was developed using
the most current version of EPA’s highway mobile source emissions
model MOBILE 6.2.  In addition, PADEP uses a MOBILE pre- and post-
processing software package, PPSUITE, to process and compile
Pennsylvania’s highway data.  PPSUITE has been used in previous
inventory and conformity submittals from Pennsylvania.  Traffic data
source and fleet data inputs were supplied by the 2002 PENNDOT Roadway
Management System.  PADEP provided sample Mobile6.2 input and output
files for review.  Mobile emissions values were given in units of tons
per summer day and were provided by SCC.

AQAB staff reviewed the files and emission results and believes them to
be reasonable for use in the maintenance plan.

2009 and 2018 Projection Emission Inventories

Projection inventories are used to show that the area will remain in
attainment.  Projection inventories for the years 2009 and 2018 were
used for the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Maintenance Plan.  Inventories
were developed for all emission sources for both years.

PADEP used projection inventories for point and nonpoint sources
prepared by MACTEC Federal Programs, Inc., for the Mid-Atlantic Regional
Air Management Association (MARAMA).  MACTEC’s projected inventories
were from 2002, not 2004. PADEP’s 2004 inventory was not available at
the time of MACTEC’s work.

The Point Source emissions for 2009 and 2018 were projected, for both
EGUs and non EGUs, using growth factors from EPA’s Economic Growth and
Analysis System, Version 5.0 (EGAS 5.0) and the Department of Energy’s
Annual Energy Outlook 2005 fuel consumption forecasts.  In addition, for
non-EGUs, state-supplied population, employment and other emission
projection data were also applied to account for changes in economic
activity.  Then, control factors were applied to account for future
emission reductions from on-the-books (OTB) control regulations and
on-the-way (OTW) control regulations.

	The Nonpoint Source emissions for 2009 and 2018 were projected using
growth factors to account for population and economic activity.  Then,
as with point sources, control factors were used to account for future
emission reductions from on-the-books (OTB) control regulations and
on-the-way (OTW) control regulations.

For the 2009 and 2018 Nonroad Mobile Source inventories, PADEP used
EPA’s NONROAD2005 model to generate these future inventories.  The
NONROAD model allows for the calculation of past year, present year, and
future year inventories (up to the year 2050) to be generated.  Growth
for locomotives came from the Association of American Railroads and
compared well with EGAS.  PADEP projected growth using the forecasted
operations for Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton in the Terminal Area Forecast
for 2006 through 2018, and small aircraft growth was estimated from the
Federal Aviation Administration’s APO Terminal Area Forecast Detailed
Report.

The 2009 and 2018 Onroad Mobile Source inventories were generated using
EPA’s MOBILE6.2.  In addition, PADEP used a PENNDOT study completed in
2005, “Statistical Evaluation of Projected Traffic Growth, Traffic
Growth Forecasting System:  Final Report, March 14, 2005” that
provided information used to forecast traffic volumes.  Growth rates for
vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and four functional road classifications
in each Pennsylvania county:  urban interstate, urban non-interstate,
rural interstate, and rural non-interstate were incorporated with
traffic data and socioeconomic forecasts which is inputted in PPSUITE to
calculate VMT and speeds; the output is then run in MOBILE6.2 to
calculate emissions.

AQAB staff reviewed the procedures, and found them to be reasonable for
development of these inventories.

IV.	2002 SIP Base Year Inventory

	The SIP base year inventory is the primary inventory from which other
inventories (3-year cycle inventories, reasonable further progress
inventories, modeling inventories) are derived.  The Clean Air Act calls
for State, local, and Tribal agencies to ensure that the base year
inventory is comprehensive, accurate, and current for all actual
emissions.  The base year inventory includes emissions estimates from
stationary point and nonpoint sources, onroad mobile sources, and
nonroad mobile sources.  For the 8-hour ozone NAAQS, the pollutants to
be inventoried are VOC, NOx and CO (carbon monoxide).  For the 8-hour
ozone NAAQS, VOC, NOx and CO emissions should be reported as actual
annual and actual summer weekday emissions (defined as an average
day’s emissions for a typical summer day during the ozone season).
PADEP’s base year inventory is for 2002.  A significant amount of
documentation is required for these SIP base year estimates which PADEP
has provided.

In the case of Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, it was designated as an 8
hour ozone nonattainment area with a Subpart 1 classification.  Subpart
1 area(s) are required to submit SIP base year inventories to EPA by
June 15, 2007.  PADEP included the SIP base year with its redesignation
request and maintenance plan package and has requested EPA’s approval.

	PADEP’s methodologies concerning the generation of point, nonpoint,
onroad mobile and nonroad mobile emissions for the SIP base year are the
same as for the 2002 base year redesignation request.  However, EPA
guidance required, in addition to the NOx and VOC summer day emissions,
annual emissions for NOx and VOCs.  Further, the EPA guidance required
annual and summer day estimates for CO.

	PADEP also applied rule effectiveness and rule penetration for its 2002
8-hour ozone SIP base year inventories.  Rule effectiveness reflects the
actual ability of a regulatory program to achieve the emission
reductions required by regulation (or perhaps voluntarily adopted).  In
the 2005, EPA developed recommendations to revise EPA’s existing rule
effectiveness guidance; due to the fact that PADEP’s inventory was
developed prior to the issuance of the new rule effectiveness policy,
EPA’s previous policy was followed, which assumed an 80% rule
effectiveness for applicable sources unless otherwise specified.  Rule
penetration is an estimate of percentage of emissions in a source
category that are emitted at facilities subject to the requirements of a
rule.  PADEP applied rule penetration for its nonpoint sources at 60%.

AQAB staff reviewed the results, procedures, and methodologies for the
SIP base year, and found them to be approvable.  The following table
summarizes PADEP’s 2002 SIP Base Year for Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton.

Jet Series 900) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    Following in-flight test deployments on CL-600-2B19 aircraft,
several Air-Driven generators (ADGs) failed to come online.
Investigation revealed that, as a result of a wiring anomaly that
had not been detected during ADG manufacture, a short circuit was
possible between certain internal wires and their metallic over-
braided shields, which could result in the ADG not providing power
when deployed. * * *

The unsafe condition is failure of the ADG, which could lead to loss of
several functions essential for safe flight. We are issuing this AD to
require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 12, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of April
30, 2009 (74 FR 13094, March 26, 2009).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on November 5, 2009 (74
FR 57268), and proposed to supersede AD 2009-06-18, Amendment 39-15855
(74 FR 13094, March 26, 2009). You may obtain further information by
examining the MCAI in the AD docket.
    Since we issued AD 2009-06-18, we have received notice that
additional suspect air-driven generators may have been installed
between the effective date of Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-2008-
10, dated February 5, 2008, and the effective date of the equivalent
FAA AD, AD 2009-06-18. Therefore, we have determined that the actions
required by paragraph (f)(1) of AD 2009-06-18 are also required for
Model CL-600-2C10 airplanes having serial numbers 10266 through 10273
inclusive, and Model CL-600-2D15 and CL-600-2D24 airplanes having
serial numbers 15163 through 15223 inclusive.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Support for the NPRM

    The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) supports the
intent of the NPRM.

Request To Allow Previously Approved AMOCs

    American Eagle Airlines (American Eagle) requests that we allow
alternative methods of compliance (AMOCs) previously approved for AD
2009-06-18. American Eagle states that including a statement allowing
previously approved AMOCs will prevent the need for duplicate requests
for the same issue.
    We agree with the commenter's request. We have determined that
AMOCs previously approved for AD 2009-06-18 are acceptable for
compliance with the corresponding requirements of this AD. We have
added a statement to paragraph (h)(1) of this AD to allow AMOCs
approved previously in accordance with AD 2009-06-18.

Explanation of Change Made to This AD

    We have revised this AD to identify the legal name of the
manufacturer as published in the most recent type certificate data
sheet for the affected airplane models.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes do not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase
the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the

MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Explanation of Change to Costs of Compliance

    Since issuance of the original NPRM, we have increased the labor
rate used in the Costs of Compliance from $80 per work-hour to $85 per
work-hour. The Costs of Compliance information, below, reflects this
increase in the specified hourly labor rate.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 304 products of U.S.
registry. The actions that are required by AD 2009-06-18 and retained
in this AD take about 5 work-hours per product, at an average labor
rate of $85 per work hour. Required parts cost about $0 per product.
Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S.
operators to be $129,200, or $425 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    Following in-flight test deployments on CL-600-2B19 aircraft,
several Air-Driven generators (ADGs) failed to come online.
Investigation revealed that, as a result of a wiring anomaly that
had not been detected during ADG manufacture, a short circuit was
possible between certain internal wires and their metallic over-
braided shields, which could result in the ADG not providing power
when deployed. This directive mandates checking of the ADG and
modification of the ADG internal wiring, if required. It also
prohibits future installation of unmodified ADGs.

The unsafe condition is failure of the ADG, which could lead to loss
of several functions essential for safe flight.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 95

[Docket No. 31237; Amdt. No. 544]

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required
IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for
certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a
minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This
regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the
safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument
conditions in the affected areas.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 28, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. Nichols, Flight Procedures
and Airspace Group, Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, Flight
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:
FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Flight Procedures and Airspace
Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Registry Bldg., 29 Room 104,
Oklahoma City, OK 73125. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 95 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes IFR
altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a
specified route or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover
points (COPs) for Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as
prescribed in part 95.

The Rule

    The specified IFR altitudes, when used in conjunction with the
prescribed changeover points for those routes, ensure navigation aid
coverage that is adequate for safe flight operations and free of
frequency interference. The reasons and circumstances that create the
need for this amendment involve matters of flight safety and
operational efficiency in the National Airspace System, are related to
published aeronautical charts that are essential to the user, and
provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. In
addition, those various reasons or circumstances require making this
amendment effective before the next scheduled charting and publication
date of the flight information to assure its timely availability to the
user. The effective date of this amendment reflects those
considerations. In view of the close and immediate relationship between
these regulatory changes and safety in air commerce, I find that notice
and public procedure before adopting this amendment are impracticable
and contrary to the public interest and that good cause exists for
making the amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2105-0576.
    Title: Traveling by Air with Service Animals.
    Type of Request: Request for emergency extension of existing
information collections.
    Background: The U.S. Department of Transportation (Department or
DOT) published a final rule to amend the Department's Air Carrier
Access Act (ACAA) regulation on the transport of service animals by air
in the Federal Register on December 10, 2020 (85 FR 79742). 14 CFR
382.75 allows airlines to require passengers traveling with service
animals to provide airlines with the following two forms of
documentation developed by the Department as a condition of travel. The
first form published in the rule, the U.S. Department of Transportation
Service Animal Air Transportation Form (``Behavior and Health
Attestation Form''), is designed to ensure and inform airlines of the
service animal's good health, disability-related task training, and
good behavior; to educate passengers traveling with service animals on
how service animals in air transportation are expected to behave; and
to inform passengers traveling with service animals of the consequences
of service animal misbehavior. The second form published in the rule,
the U.S. Department of Transportation Service Animal Relief Attestation
Form (``Relief Attestation Form''), may only be required by airlines
when a passenger is traveling with service animals on a flight segment
scheduled to take 8 hours or more. The purpose of this form is to
provide assurances to airlines that the service animal will not need to
relieve itself on the flight or that the animal can relieve itself in a
way that does not create a health or sanitation issue, and to educate
passengers of the consequences should an animal relieve itself on the
aircraft in an unsanitary way.
    The Behavior and Health Attestation Form and the Relief Attestation
Form are the only forms that airlines are permitted to require from
passengers traveling with service animals as a condition of transport,
except in rare

circumstances when additional documentation may be necessary to comply
with requirements on transport of animals by a Federal agency, a U.S.
territory, or a foreign jurisdiction. Currently, OMB authorization of
the information collections expire on December 31, 2023.

1. Requirement To Prepare and Submit to Airlines the DOT Air
Transportation Service Animal Behavior and Health Attestation Form

    Respondents: Passengers with disabilities traveling on aircraft
with service animals.
    Number of Respondents: The Department estimates that 310,145
respondents will complete the Service Animal Health and Attestation
form. This estimate was calculated by using the same analysis used by
the Department in its 2021 Service Animal Regulatory Impact Analysis
(RIA), where the Department estimated that 319,000 respondents would
use the Service Animal Health and Attestation Form.
    In the RIA, the Department relied on 2017 passenger data and
estimates provided from Airlines for America on the number of service
animals transported by U.S. air carriers in 2017 \1\ to estimate the
number of respondents that would use the Service Animal Health and
Attestation form. DOT estimated that in 2017, 281,000 service animals
were transported by U.S. carriers on flights to, within, and from the
United States, and 38,000 were transported by foreign air carriers on
flights to and from the United States.\2\ Assuming that only one
passenger with a disability travels with a service animal, the
Department determined in 2021 that 319,000 respondents (281,000 +
38,000) would use the service animal form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Comment from A4A, https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=DOT-OST-2018-0068-4288. A4A estimates that 281,000
service animals were transported on U.S. airlines in 2017. DOT
estimates that 38,000 service animals were transported by foreign
airlines on flights to and from the U.S. in 2017 based on air
carrier passenger data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics,
available at https://www.bts.gov/newsroom/2017-traffic-data-us-airlines-andforeign-airlines-us-flights.
    \2\ See, Traveling by Air with Service Animals (FR)--Regulatory
Impact Analysis (November 2020); https://www.regulations.gov/document/DOT-OST-2018-0068-32399.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the purposes of this renewal, the Department relied on 2022
enplanement data to estimate the number of respondents that would
complete the service animal forms. In 2022, U.S. passenger enplanements
increased by .5 percent and foreign carrier enplanements decreased by
27 percent.\3\ Thus, DOT estimates that 282,405 service animals were
transported by U.S. carriers to, from, or within the U.S. in 2022 and,
if foreign carriers had a similar proportion of passengers traveling
with service animals, foreign carriers transported 27,740 service
animals to or from the U.S. in 2022. Assuming that only one passenger
with a disability travels with a service animal, 310,145 respondents
(282,405 + 27,740) would complete the service animal behavior and
health attestation form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Bureau of Transportation Statistics (2022). ``2022 Traffic
Data for U.S. Airlines and Foreign Airlines U.S. Flights.'' https://www.transtats.bts.gov/Data_Elements.aspx?Data=4. The number of
passengers on foreign carriers (84.5 million) was 9.9 percent of the
number on domestic carriers (852.8 million).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: We estimate that
completing the form would require 15 minutes (.25 hours) per response,
including the time it takes to retrieve an electronic or paper version
of the form from the carrier's website, reviewing the instructions, and
completing the questions. Passengers would spend a total of 77,536
hours annually (0.25 hours x 310,145 passengers) to retrieve and
complete an accessible version of the form. Passengers would fill out
the forms on their own time without pay. To estimate the value of this
uncompensated activity, we use median wage data from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.\4\ We use a post-tax wage estimate of $18.48 ($22.26
median for all occupations minus a 17% percent estimated tax rate). The
estimated annual value of this time is $1,432,865 ($18.48 x 77,536
hours).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For a discussion of estimating the value of uncompensated
activities, see ``Valuing Time in U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services Regulatory Impact Analyses: Conceptual Framework and
Best Practices'' from the Department of Health and Human Services,
available at https://aspe.hhs.gov/system/files/pdf/257746/VOT.pdf.

Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates: United States.'' https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#00-0000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Requirement To Prepare and Submit to Airlines the DOT Service Animal
Relief Attestation Form

    Respondents: Passengers with disabilities traveling on aircraft
with service animals on flight segments scheduled to take 8 hours or
more.
    Number of Respondents: The Department estimates that 5 percent of
service animal users would be on flight segments scheduled to take 8
hours or more and would also have to complete the Relief Attestation
Form, for a total of 15,507 respondents (310,145 x 0.05).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: We estimate that
completing the form would require 15 minutes (.25 hours) per response,
including the time it takes to retrieve an electronic or paper version
of the form from the carrier's website, reviewing the instructions, and
completing the questions. Passengers would spend a total of 3,877 hours
annually (0.25 hours x 15,507 passengers) to retrieve an accessible
version of the form and complete the form. Passengers would fill out
the forms on their own time without pay, as they would with the Animal
Behavior and Health Attestation Form. The estimated annual value of
this time is $71,647 ($18.48 x 3,877 hours).

Comments Invited

    We invite comments on: (a) Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of
the proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents.
    All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of
public record on the docket.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended; and 59 CFR 1.48.
