No. 310
Issue Date: 1/1/2014
Effective Date: Immediately

As a party to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Treaty), the United States is obligated to provide the International Civil Aviation Organization (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).

Over 99% of the data filed with ICAO is supplied from the Form 41 financial data and the T-100 traffic data.  With this data and the BTS Form EF data, the OAI staff compiles 8 different ICAO reports for the Group II and III carriers (carriers with annual operating revenues over $100 million), as identified in Accounting and Reporting Directive No. 309 for the calendar year 2014.

To meet ICAO needs for electronic submissions and to eliminate the task of manually entering data, BTS requires carriers to e-submit their ICAO Financial BTS Supplemental Form E-F data in the comma separated values (CVS) file format.  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 submit the BTS Supplemental Form E-F report, go to the website: https://esubmit.rita.dot.gov/ and following the instructions for creating an account and submitting reports. The Supplemental Form E-F data is due at OAI on March 30.

The file format for CSV reporting of ICAO Financial BTS Supplemental Form E-F is attached.

This action is taken under authority delegated by 14 CFR 385.19(h).
