Accounting and Reporting Directive
No. 301
Issue Date: 2/22/2011
Effective Date: Immediately
As a party to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Treaty), the United States is obligated to provide ICAO with financial and statistical data on operations of U.S. air carriers (Article 67). The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Office of Airline Information (OAI) administers this program for the Department of Transportation (DOT).
To meet ICAO needs for electronic submissions and to eliminate the task of manually entering data (keypunching), BTS is requiring carriers to e-submit the ICAO Financial Supplement BTS Form EF using comma separated values (CVS) file formats. Each data element is separated by a comma. One thousand is reported as 1000 not as 1,000 as the comma indicates a new data element. To enter the BTS Form EF, carriers will go to the website https://esubmit.rita.dot.gov/ and following the instruction for e-submit.
The file format for CSV reporting of BTS form EF is attached.
This action is taken under authority delegated by 14 CFR 385.14(h).
