SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3507 of Title 44 of the United

States Code, as adopted by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

requires that agencies prepare a notice for publication in the Federal

Register, listing those information collection requests submitted to

OMB for approval or renewal under that Act. OMB reviews and approves

agency submissions in accordance with criteria set forth in that Act.

must be renewed at least once every three years.

Title: Passenger Manifest.

OMB Control Number: 2105--new.

Type of Request: New collection.

Affected Public: U.S. and foreign carriers, travel agents and the

traveling public.

Abstract: In some international aviation disasters in the past, the

State Department did not have a complete and accurate passenger

manifest information for use in notifying the families of victims in a

timely manner. This information collection requirement would require U.

S. air carriers, foreign air carriers, and travel agents to collect

complete and accurate passenger manifest information for U.S. citizens

and lawful permanent residents in order that the families can be

notified in a timely manner.

Need for Information: U.S. And foreign air carries will be able to

provide the passenger manifest information for U.S. citizens and lawful

permanent residents to Department of Transportation and Department of

State in the case of an aviation accident no later than three hours

following notification of the disaster.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1.1 to 1.4 million

hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th Street, NW,

Washington, DC 20503, Attention DOT Desk Officer.

Comments are Invited on: whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of

the Department, including whether the information will have practical

utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the

proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility

and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize

the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including

the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of

information technology.

Issued in Washington, D.C. on November 26, 1996.
