    Abstract: Public Law 101-604 (entitled the Aviation Security 
Improvement Act of 1990, or ``ASIA 90,'' and later codified as 49 
U.S.C. 44909) requires that certificated air carriers and large foreign 
air carriers collect the full name of each U.S. citizen traveling on 
flight segments to or from the United States and solicit a contact name 
and telephone number. In case of an aviation disaster, airlines would 
be required to provide the information to the Department of State and, 
in certain circumstances, to the National Transportation Safety Board. 
Each carrier would develop its own collection system. The Passenger 
Manifest Information, Final Rule (14 CFR 243) was published in the 
Federal Register, Vol. 63, No. 32 (February 18, 1998). The rule was 
effective March 20, 1998.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether this collection of information 
(third party notification) is necessary for the proper performance of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including through the use of automated techniques or other 
forms of information technology.
    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.

Director, Office of Aviation Analysis.
