Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Air Taxi Registration via One-Page Form
Under 14 CFR part 298, small air taxi operators seeking on-demand passenger service may obtain economic authority by filing a one-page, front-and-back OST Form 4507 (Air Taxi Operator Registration and Amendments). The regulation exempts these small operators from certain provisions of the Federal statute to permit registration via that form.
Insurance Filing Required to Operate
If you are an air carrier, 49 U.S.C. 41112 and 14 CFR part 205 require you to file evidence that you possess accident liability insurance using OST Form 6410 (U.S. carriers) or OST Form 6411 (foreign carriers). DOT states an air carrier may not be issued or continue to hold air carrier authority unless it has filed this evidence of insurance.
Paperwork Time Burden and Filings
DOT expects about 2,279 total insurance certificate responses annually (1,284 from U.S. carriers and 429 from foreign carriers, plus amended filings) with a total annual burden of 599 hours. The agency estimates each form takes about 15–30 minutes to complete, with about 5 percent (114 responses) handwritten taking 30 minutes and the remaining 95 percent (2,165 responses) using fillable forms.
