BILLING CODE 4910-13-P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration [Docket No. FAA-2024-2351] Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Disclosure of Seat Dimensions To Facilitate the Use of Child Safety Seats on Airplanes During Passenger-Carrying Operations AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Notice and request for comments. SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites the public to make public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)approval to renew an information collection. The **Federal Register** Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on September 17, 2024. In accordance with Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 121.311, the collection of data requires passenger carrying air carriers to make available on their websites the width of the narrowest and widest passenger seat in each class of service for each make, model and series of airplane used in passenger-carrying operations. The collected information will be utilized to support the use of child restraint systems on airplanes. DATES: Written comments should be submitted by July 12, 2025. ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to *www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.* Find this particular information collection by selecting “Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments” or by using the search function. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Näleé D. Romero by email at: *Nalee.romero@faa.gov,* phone:
(213)986-8138. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Public Comments Invited:* You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including
(a)Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance;
(b)the accuracy of the estimated burden;
(c)ways for FAA to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and
(d)ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information. *OMB Control Number:* 2120-0760. *Title:* Disclosure of Seat Dimensions to Facilitate the Use of Child Safety Seats on Airplanes During Passenger-Carrying Operations. *Form Numbers:* None. *Type of Review:* Renewal of an information collection. *Background:* The **Federal Register** Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on September 17, 2024 (89 FR 76177). Section 412 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-95) specifically required the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA)to conduct rulemaking “[T]o require each air carrier operating under part 121 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations to post on the internet website of the air carrier the maximum dimensions of a child safety seat that can be used on each aircraft operated by the air carrier to enable passengers to determine which child safety seats can be used on those aircraft.” As a result, the FAA amended 14 CFR 121.311, which requires passenger carrying air carriers to make available on their websites the width of the narrowest and widest passenger seat in each class of service for each make, model and series of airplane used in passenger-carrying operations. Section 412 of Public Law 112-95 requires that all air carriers provide this required information on their internet websites. The vast majority of this burden occurred on a one-time basis as air carriers initially provided information on their websites to comply with the regulation. After initial implementation, the only time air carriers need to update their websites after initial implementation is when a new airplane make, model, or series is introduced to an air carrier's fleet, or when an air carrier replaces the widest or narrowest seats installed on an existing airplane make, model, or series with wider or narrower seats. The purpose of this collection is to facilitate the use of child restraint systems onboard airplanes by providing greater information to caregivers to help them determine whether a particular child restraint system will fit in an airplane seat. *Respondents:* 47 Part 121 Air Carriers. *Frequency:* As Required by Regulation. *Estimated Average Burden per Response:* Varies per Requirement. *Estimated Total Annual Burden:* 348 hours. Issued in Washington, DC, on June 13, 2025. Paul A. Ramirez, Manager, Integration & Implementation Group, Air Transportation Division. [FR Doc. 2025-11156 Filed 6-16-25; 8:45 am]
