Summary: Airlines are required by 49
USC ß41510, formerly section 403 of the Federal Aviation Act, to file
tariffs with the Department that state their passenger fares, cargo rates,
and associated charges in foreign air transportation. On October 21, 1988,
the Department issued an NPRM (53 FR 41353) in response to concerns raised
by travel agents concerning rebating of international airline prices. The
NPRM proposed to establish an enforcement policy concerning the rebating
of international airline prices. Since publication of the NPRM, many
conditions in the airline industry related to rebating have changed. For
example, the United States has increasingly negotiated with success for
liberal pricing regimes in our bilateral agreements with foreign nations.
Therefore, this action would withdraw the proposed enforcement
policy. | |||||||||||||||||

Summary: The Department's Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) final rule, published September 6, 1991,
reserved portions of the rule concerning passenger vessels. The ADA covers
passenger vessels, but issuing accessibility requirements for vessels
involves complex issues unlike those affecting land transportation. This
rulemaking would address these issues and propose feasible requirements to
make passenger vessels accessible to, and usable by, individuals with
disabilities. Timing of this rulemaking is dependent on action by the
Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board)
to adopt accessibility guidelines for passenger vessels. The Access Board
has advised DOT that its guidelines on passenger vessels will be delayed,
at least through 2004, as it completes other, higher
priorities. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Summary: This rulemaking requested
information concerning operational and cost issues related to U.S. air
carriers collecting basic information (e.g., full name, date of birth
and/or social security number, emergency contact and telephone number)
from passengers traveling on flights within the United States. This
rulemaking responds to difficulties with notification in the aftermath of
domestic aviation crashes, would implement new requirements for family
assistance, and would fulfill a recommendation contained in the final
report of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security that
urges the Department to explore immediately the costs and effects of a
comprehensive passenger manifest requirement on the domestic aviation
system. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Summary: This rulemaking will
determine whether DOT should continue or modify its existing rules
governing airline computer reservations systems (CRSs). Among other
things, this rulemaking will address the impact of changes to the industry
and consider whether to adopt rules governing the use of the Internet for
airline distribution. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Summary: This rulemaking requested
public comments from reporting carriers and aviation data users on the
nature, scope, source, and means for collecting, processing, and
distributing airline traffic, fare, and financial data. Specifically, it
invited comments on whether existing airline traffic, fare, and financial
data should be amended, supplemented, or replaced; whether selected forms
and reports should be retained, modified, or eliminated; whether the
Department should require all aviation data to be filed electronically;
and how the aviation data system should be reengineered to enhance
efficiency and to reduce costs for both the Department and the airline
industry. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Summary: This action implemented
changes to OMB Circular A-110 that were issued by OMB on October 8, 1999,
providing uniform guidance for administering grants to institutions of
higher education, hospitals, and other nonprofit organizations. The change
provides guidance on making data produced under awards available to the
public. The regulation is essentially a word-for-word issuance of the
requirements in OMB Circular A-110. An Interim Final Rule was issued
because of the limited ability to change the requirements from those in
the Circular. We are awaiting guidance from OMB as to what, if any,
changes are needed in the government-wide common final rule. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
