Background: The
Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on January
29, 2026, (91 FR 3976). On October 5, 2018, Congress enacted Public Law 115-254, the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (“the
Act”). Section 551 of the Act required air carriers operating under 14 CFR part 121 to submit to the FAA for review and acceptance
an Employee Assault Prevention and Response Plan (EAPRP) related to the customer service agents of the air carrier that is
developed in consultation with the labor union representing such agents. Section 551(b) of the Act contains the required contents
of the EAPRP, including reporting protocols for air carrier customer service agents who have been the victim of a verbal or
physical assault.

On May 16, 2024, Congress enacted Public Law 118-63. In the 2024 reauthorization act, section 434, states the requirement
for air carriers operating under part 121 to submit a plan pursuant to 2018 reauthorization act, section 551. It then goes
on to say, “any air carrier formed after the date of enactment of this Act should develop and implement an Employee Assault
Prevention and Response Plan.”

Respondents: 9 Part 121 Air Carriers.

Frequency: Once for a new submission or revision of plan.

Estimated Average Burden per Response: 20 hours for a new plan, 2 hours for a revision.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: $3,868.
