Summary: This rulemaking requires
airplanes operated under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part
121, U.S.-registered multiengine airplanes operated under 14 CFR part 129,
and multiengine airplanes used in scheduled operations under 14 CFR part 135
to undergo inspections and records reviews by the Administrator or a designated
representative after their 14th year in service and at specified intervals
thereafter. These inspections and records reviews will ensure that the
maintenance of these airplanes' age-sensitive parts and components has been
adequate and timely. The final rule also prohibits operation of these
airplanes after specified deadlines unless damage-tolerance-based inspections
and procedures are included in their maintenance or inspection programs.
Operators of airplanes initially certificated with nine or fewer passenger
seats, however, may incorporate service-history-based inspections instead of
damage-tolerance-based inspections and procedures in those airplanes'
maintenance or inspection programs. This final rule does not apply to
airplanes operated between any point within the State of Alaska and any other
point within the State of Alaska. This rule represents a critical step toward
compliance with the Aging Aircraft Safety Act of 1991 and helps to ensure the
continuing airworthiness of aging airplanes operating in scheduled service. |

Summary: This rulemaking would require
that the maintenance or inspection programs for all airplanes operated under
part 121 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, all U.S. -registered
multiengine airplanes operated in common carriage by foreign air carriers or
foreign persons under 14 CFR part 129, and all multiengine airplanes used in
scheduled operations under 14 CFR part 135 include FAA-approved corrosion
prevention and control programs. Such programs are needed because existing
maintenance and inspection programs may not provide comprehensive, systematic
measures to prevent and control corrosion. The rulemaking would form a part
of the FAA's response to the Aging Aircraft Safety Act of 1991. These actions
are intended to control the detrimental effects of corrosion and the
resulting airplane structural material loss. |

Summary: In this rulemaking, the FAA will
respond to NTSB recommendations. FAA is seeking information on air tour and
sightseeing operations that are currently allowed to operate under less
stringent regulations than those applied to other types of commercial
operations. Over the past decade, the number of these operations, and the
number of accidents and incidents associated with these operations, have
increased. Hot air balloons and gliders would not be included. (Note: This
rulemaking was formerly called "Sightseeing Operations.") |

Summary: This final rule would improve
participant safety during full-scale emergency evacuation demonstrations of
transport category airplanes by permitting certain alternative procedures
that would allow a person conducting the demonstrations to react more readily
should a mishap occur. The rule would not impose any additional cost. The
purpose of the rule is to make full-scale emergency evacuation demonstrations
safer for participants, to codify exisiting practices, and to ensure that
each operator demonstrates the effectiveness of crewmember training by conducting
at least a partial evacuation demonstration. |

Summary: This rulemaking would have banned
the transportation in certain aircraft of devices designed to chemically
generate oxygen that pose a risk of fire. The ban applies to
newly-manufactured chemical oxygen generators that have never been filled
with chemicals and those that have been discharged to reduce human error in
identifying which canisters are dangerous. This rule complements a December 1996
RSPA rulemaking prohibiting the transportation of these generators in
passenger carrying aircraft. It is being withdrawn because RSPA action has
eliminated need for rulemaking. |

Summary: In June 1996, the FAA adopted a
policy for evaluating the reasonableness of landing fees and other charges
paid by air carriers to airports. The current action is to consider
replacement provisions for the portions of the 1996 Policy Statement vacated
by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. The Court disallowed a portion
of the policy that had to do with historic cost valuation of airport
property. FAA has determined that the issues in this policy statement should
be addressed in conjunction with the issues involved in congestion pricing in
airports. |

transportation have been trained as required by the Deparment of
Transportation's Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs). The FAA is updating
its regulations because hazmat transport and the aviation industry have
changed significantly since the FAA promulgated its hazmat training standards
to ensure uniform compliance with training requirements. |

Summary: This rulemaking is in response to
a recommendation by the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and
Security and to a Congressional mandate in the Federal Aviation
Reauthorization Act of 1996. The rulemaking was intended to improve the
screening of passengers, accessible property, checked baggage, and cargo and
to provide standards for consistent high performance and increased screening
company accountability. The rulemaking is being withdrawn because of changed
circumstances. TSA assumed responsibility for the issues in this rulemaking,
but terminated further actions in RIN 2110-AA16, published Nov. 5, 2002, 67

external fire into the airplane. The new standards are intended to reduce the
incidence and severity of cabin fires, particularly those in inaccessible
areas where thermal/acoustic insulation materials are typically installed.
They would also provide an increased level of safety in post-crash fires by
delaying entry of flames into the cabin. The new standards would apply to new
type designs and newly manufactured airplanes. |

Summary: This rule would revise the
airport certification regulation and establish certification requirements for
airports serving scheduled air carrier operations in aircraft designed for
more than 9 passenger seats but less than 31 passenger seats. In addtion,
this rule would amend a section of an air carrier operation regulation to
conform with changes to airport certification requirements. The FAA
Reauthorization Act of 1996 authorized the FAA to certificate airports (with
the exception of those in Alaska) that serve scheduled passenger operations
of air carriers operating aircraft designed for more than 9 passenger seats
but fewer than 31. The Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st
Century mandated that the FAA issue an NPRM on operating certificates for
such airports within 60 days (of April 5, 2000) and a final rule 1 year after
the close of the NPRM comment period . |

Summary: This rulemaking would extend SFAR
71, which established certain procedural, operational and equipment
requirements for air tour operators in the State of Hawaii. The FAA intends
to issue a national air tour safety proposal in the near future, but until
that rulemaking becomes final, there is a need to extend SFAR 71 to ensure
the continuing safe environment for conducting air tours in Hawaii. During
the 9 year period between 1982 and 1991, there were 11 air tour accidents
with 24 fatalities in Hawaii. The apparent causes of the accidents ranged
from engine power loss to encounters with adverse weather. On September 26,
1994, the FAA published an emergency final rule as SFAR 71. The rule
established additional operating procedures, including minimum safe altitudes
(and associated increases in visual flight rules weather minimums), minimum
equipment requirements and operational limitations for air tour aircraft in
the State of Hawaii. SFAR 71 was subsequently extended until October 26,
2003. |

Summary: This rulemaking would update and
revise the regulations governing operations by aircraft in fractional
ownership programs. This action is undertaken because the FAA has determined
that current regulations do not adequately define fractional ownership
programs and do not clearly allocate responsibility and authority for safety
and compliance with the regulations. The revisions would define fractional
ownership programs and their various participants, allocate responsibility
and authority for safety of flight operations for purposes of compliance with
the regulations, and ensure that fractional ownership program aircraft
operations maintain a high level of safety. Elements of this rulemaking would
provide in certain of the regulations applicable to fractional ownership
programs a level of safety equivalent to certain regulations that apply to
on-demand operators. The rulemaking would also change some regulations that
apply to on-demand operators meeting certain criteria to permit these
operators an alternate means of compliance for certain commercial operations. |

Summary: This rulemaking would establish
requirements for the certification, operation, and maintenance of light-sport
aircraft, including powered parachutes and weight-shift-control aircraft. For
the operation of light-sport aircraft, the rulemaking would establish a sport
pilot certificate and a flight instructor certificate with a sport pilot
rating. It would also establish requirements for student pilots and private
pilots to operate these aircraft, and to revise the recreational pilot
certificate to align it with privileges proposed for the new sport pilot
certificate. It would also establish a new repairman certificate with ratings
for individuals who would inspect and maintain light-sport aircraft. In
addition, it would create a new category of special airworthiness certificate
for light-sport aircraft that meet a consensus standard. This action is
necessary to address advances in sport and recreational aviation technology,
gaps in the existing regulations, and several petitiions for rulemaking. The
intended effect of this action is to provide a safe and economical means to
certificate light-sport aircraft and the pilots who fly them. |

Summary: This rulemaking would amend the
passenger facility charge (PFC) regulation by changing the amount and unit of
collection that a carrier may retain for collecting and handling (including
remitting) PFC revenue. It would allow carriers to keep $0.10 of each PFC
they collect in calendar years 2002 through 2004. From 2005 forward, the
amount would increase to $0.11 for each PFC collected. This action is
necessary to implement the statutory requirement that the Secretary of
Transportation (whose authority has been delegated to the Administrator of
FAA) establish by regulation a uniform amount that carriers may retain that
reflects the average necessary and reasonable expenses for collecting and
handling PFCs. |

flag, and supplemental operations. Specifically, the rulemaking would require
affected airplanes to have the capability to help assure immediate activation
of the designated air traffic control (ATC) hijack alert code, and continuous
transmission of that code to ATC during a hijack situation. This action would
respond to the heightened threat to U.S. civil aviation. The FAA believes
that this capability would help provide ATC personnel with more time to
initiate a national security response to a potential airplane hijack
situation. |

Summary: The Transportation Equity Act for
the 21st Century (TEA-21) requires the Secretary of Transportation and the
Secretary of each appropriate Federal land management agency to develop, to
the extent appropriate, safety, bridge, pavement, and congestion management
systems for roads funded under the Federal Lands Highway Program (FLHP). The
Secretary of Transportation has delegated the authority to the FHWA to serve
as the lead agency within the U.S. DOT to implement the FLHP. The roads
funded under the FHLP include park roads and parkways, forest highways,
refuge roads, and Indian reservation roads. This rulemaking would provide for
the development of pavement, bridge, safety, and congestion management
systems for transportation facilities providing access to and within the
National Forests and highways funded under the FLHP. |

Summary: This rule would revise FHWA
regulations to implement design-build contracting as mandated by the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). TEA-21 requires the
Secretary to issue regulations to allow design-build contracting for selected
projects. This regulation would list the criteria and procedures that will be
used by the FHWA in approving the use of design-build contracting by State
Transportation Departments (STDs). This regulation would not require the use
of the design-build contracting, but would allow STDs to use it as an
optional technique in addition to traditional contracting methods. |

Summary: This rulemaking would examine
whether to revise the regulation on National Bridge Inspection Standards
(NBIS) to incorporate current, state-of-the-art bridge inspection practices
that public authorities may be using. It has been fourteen years since the
NBIS regulations were updated. The experience, material, and technology
changes over time dictate that the FHWA take a fresh look at these
regulations. The FHWA has received some unsolicited comments from engineers,
inspectors, transportation planners, and others recommending a number of
changes to the FHWA's NBIS regulations. In revising these regulations the
FHWA is considering incorportating a number of the FHWA policy memorandums
and technical advisories into the regulation. |

Summary: The Truck and Bus Regulatory
Reform Act of 1988 required the DOT Secretary to issue regulations
establishing minimum uniform standards for a biometric identification system
for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operators. In 1989, the agency (then the
Federal Highway Administration) published an ANPRM to request comments on a
pilot demonstration project using biometric identifiers that included retinal
eye scans and fingerprint technologies. After considering comments to the
ANPRM, the FHWA determined that technology had not progressed to the point
where a nationwide identification system could be cost-effective and provide
the benefits for which a system was intended. In 1991 the FHWA published a Notice
of Information summarizing the results of the pilot study and the comments to
demonstrate how the technologies studied fell short of the demands in the
commercial licensing environment at the time. Section 4011(c) of the TEA-21,
49 USC 31308 amended, requires each commercial driver's license (CDL) issued
by the States after January 1, 2001, to have unique identifiers (which may
include biometric identifiers). The FMCSA established a pilot study to
collect over 16,000 sample digital facial images and sets of fingerprints
from volunteers in California, Georgia and West Virginia. California provided
the lead for this study. The pilot study has been completed , and the
contractor is finalizing the study results. The final report is expected in
November 2002. |

Summary: As part of a review of the
medical qualification standards applicable to interstate CMV drivers, the
agency (then the Federal Highway Administration)requested comments on the
need, if any, to amend its driver qualification requirements relating to the
vision standard. A temporary waiver program was initiated and was concluded
on March 31, 1996, to permit the FHWA to observe and collect data on the
driving experience of a group of vision-deficient drivers who meet certain
preconditions. The agency considered further research to develop
comprehensive performance-based visual standards for all commercial drivers.
Information about the proposed research plan and public hearing on the
subject was published in the Federal Register on June 5, 1996, at 61 FR
28547. The FMCSA entered into a contract with a medical center to develop
medically-based recommendations for amending the current Federal vision
requirements. Recommendations were delivered in October 1998. The FMCSA is
further evaluating and considering these recommendations to decide what, if
any, further proposals should be made concerning the vision standard. Based
on the findings of the medical panel, the FMCSA anticipates publishing an
NPRM to amend its regulation governing the visual field requirement in the
vision standard. Section 4007 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st
Century (TEA-21, Public Law 105-178) enacted effective June 9, 1998, changes
the agency's authority to issue waivers and exemptions. Procedures to
implement the new authority were published on December 8, 1998 (63 FR 67600).
FMCSA is now considering all requests for exemptions from the vision
requirements in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. |

addresses the establishment of motor carrier safety permit regulations for
motor carriers transporting Class A or B explosives, liquefied natural gases,
hazardous materials designated as extremely toxic by inhalation, or highway
route controlled quantity radioactive materials. Section 5105 requires
inspection of vehicles transporting those radioactive materials before each
trip. The rulemaking would incorporate those provisions into the safety

Summary: The current regulation is little
changed from the original rule adopted in 1936. The American Civil Liberties
Union (ACLU) has written to the Department asserting that the regulation, as
written, is overly broad and subject to arbitrary enforcement, causing
potential interference with constitutional guarantees of due process and
equal protection. The ACLU requested an opportunity to submit a comprehensive
analysis of this issue. The ANPRM was intended to provide the ACLU with such
an opportunity and to open this issue for public comment. The rulemaking
would modify the current FMCSA regulation to require drivers to possess the
basic functional communication/comprehension ability necessary to ensure
safety, consistent with applicable law. |

Summary: This rulemaking changes FMCSA
regulations to govern applications by Mexican carriers to operate beyond
municipalities and commercial zones at the United State-Mexico border. It
also revises the application form, OP-1MX, to be filed by these Mexican motor
carriers. The revised form requires additional information about the
applicant's business and operating practices to allow the FMCSA to determine if
the applicant could meet the safety standards established for operating in
interstate commerce in the United States. Carriers that had previously
submitted an application would have to submit the updated form. These changes

396 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations (FMCSRs) that place upon
motor carriers the responsibility for maintaining intermodal container
chassis and trailers. These regulations provide the requirements for the
inspection, repair and maintenance of commerical motor vehicles. The agency
is considering conducting a negotiated rulemaking for this rule. |

enforcement proceedings, motor carrier safety ratings, driver qualification
proceedings and the schedule of penalties for violations of the FMCSRs and
the Hazardous Materials Regulations. It would also add provisions on
investigative authority and procedures and general motor carrier
responsibilities. These rules would increase the efficiency of the
procedures, enhance due process and the awareness of the public and regulated
community, and accommodate recent programmatic changes. The rules would apply
to all motor carriers, other business entities, and individuals involved in
motor carrier safety and hazardous materials administrative actions on the

Analysis Reporting System (FARS) analysts concerning fatal crashes/accidents.
Currently, only the FMCSA and State officials with regulatory authority over
the employer or any of its drivers may obtain information concerning
controlled substances and alcohol testing results and records. This
rulemaking would propose to require employers to provide information to FARS
analysts, irrespective of their State authority, working under contract with
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The information
employers would be required to submit to the analysts would enable the NHTSA,
working in conjunction with the FMCSA, to compile and analyze data on the
incidence of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers who test positive for
controlled substances and/or alcohol use in post-accident tests conducted
after fatal crashes. The data would also be used by the FMCSA to help assess
the effectiveness of its controlled substances and alcohol testing
regulations. This action is intended to improve the FMCSA's and NHTSA's CMV
crash data and assess the need for new initiatives to further reduce the use
of controlled substances and alcohol by CMV drivers. |

Summary: This rulemaking would amend the
Federal Motor Carrier Safey Regulations (FMCSRs) to incorporate the
requirement, codified in parts 365 and 385 of the agency's regulations, that
all commercial motor vehicles operated by Mexico-domiciled motor carriers
holding authority to transport property or passengers beyond the commercial
zones of U.S. municipalities on the United States-Mexico border display a
Commercial Vehicle Safety Allieance (CVSA) decal issued by the CVSA-certified
inspector. Adding this requirement to part 396 will enable FMCSA to assess
civil penalties against Mexico-domiciled long-haul motor carriers that
operate vehicles without the necessary CVSA decal. This rule would also
clarify that carriers will be required to obtain the necessary inpsection
decal before proceeding beyond border ports of entry. By providing for more
effective enforcement of the inspection and decal requirements, this rule
will help ensure that these motor carriers operate safe vehicles in the
United States. |

Summary: This emergency rulemaking would
amend FMCSA regulations to require that a motor carrier subject to the
registration requirements under 49 U.S.C. 13902 may not operate a commercial
motor vehicle in interstate commerce unless it has registered with FMCSA.
Motor carriers would be further prohibited from operating beyond the scope of
their registration. If an unregistered carrier's motor vehicle is discovered
in operation or being operated beyond the scope of the carrier's
registration, such motor vehicle will be placed out-of-service and the
carrier may be subject to additional penalties. The States are currently
required to enforce these registration requirements as a condition for
receipt of Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program funds. Amending the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to specifically include the
out-of-service (OOS) provisions will help ensure that all carriers subject to
49 U.S.C. 13902: (1) are apprised of and comply with applicable FMCSR's,(2)
operate only within the scope of registration, and (3) operate safe vehicles
within the United States. This would also allow the agency to more accurately
identify and monitor the safety fitness of motor carriers. |

considering withdrawing this rulemaking and evaluating whether (1) the risks
presented by school bus fires pose a minimal safety problem, (2) the agency's
upgrading of Standard No. 217's emergency exit requirements will allow faster
evacuation from school buses and will reduce the already minimal safety
problem due to fire, (3) significant costs would have resulted from upgrading
Standard No. 302, and (4) further research would have been necessary before a
test protocol and criteria regarding the conditions vital for survivability
in a fire could have been proposed, utilizing scarce agency resources which
could be put to more effective uses elsewhere. |

Summary: This rulemaking would upgrade the
standard for head restraints for passenger cars and for light multipurpose
vehicles, trucks and buses. The rule would establish higher minimum height
requirements for head restraints and add a requirment limiting backset, i.e.,
the distance between a person's head and his or her head restraint. The
proposal would also extend the requirement for head restraints to rear
outboard designated seating positions; establish new strength requirements
for head restraints; and place limits on the size of gaps and openings in
head restraints. In addition, it would modify the dynamic compliance test and
amend test procedures. The rulemaking would harmonize the standard with the
counterpart regulation of the Economic Commission for Europe to an extent. |

Summary: This rulemaking would establish a
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard for high speed frontal offset crash
testing. The frontal offset test is a crash test for automobiles and light
trucks in which the subject vehicles are run into a deformable honeycomb
barrier. The barrier contacts only 40 percent of the front of the vehicle
stimulating an off-center frontal collision. The agency is considering adding
the offset test to the frontal occupant protection standard to measure
vehicle structural integrity and reduce the number and severity of lower-body
injuries. |

Summary: This rulemaking would improve the
labeling of tires to assist consumers in identifying tires that may be the
subject of a safety recall. It also would increase public awareness of the
importance and methods of observing motor vehicle tire load limits and
maintaining proper tire inflation levels for the safe operation of a motor
vehicle. It would apply to all new and retreaded tires for use on vehicles
with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less and to all
vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10, 000 pounds or less, except
for motorcycles and low speed vehicles. This rulemaking is being issued in response
to the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation

Summary: In response to TREAD, NHTSA has
added a new requirement that tire pressure monitoring systems be installed in
passenger cars, and in light trucks, multipurpose passenger vehicles, and
buses. The rule is in two parts. During the period between November 1, 2003,
and October 31, 2006, manufacturers may choose between two methods of
compliance. The second part of this final rule will be issued by March 1,
2005, and will establish performance requirements for the period beginning on
November 1, 2006. In the meantime, NHTSA will leave the rulemaking docket
open for the submission of new data and analyses concerning the performance
of TPMSs. NHTSA also will conduct a study comparing the tire pressures of
vehicles without any TPMS to the pressures of vehicles with TPMSs. |

Summary: This rulemaking would make a
number of revisions to the Federal safety standard for child restraint
systems, including new dynamic side impact protection requirements, updated
test dummy specifications and test procedures used to test child restraints,
and extension of the standard so that it would apply to child restraints
recommended for use by children up to 65 pounds. This action is intended to
make child restraints even more effective in protecting children from the
risk of death or serious injury in motor vehicle crashes. This rulemaking
responds to the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and
Documentation Act of 2000, which directed NHTSA to initiate a rulemaking
proceeding by November 1, 2001, for the purpose of improving the safety of
child restraints. |

Summary: The Transportation Equity Act for
the 21st Century (TEA-21) established a grant program under which states
could qualify for incentive funds if they enacted and enforced a law that
provides that any person with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent or
greater while operating a motor vehicle in the state is deemed to have
committed a per se offense of driving while intoxicated or an equivalent per
se offense. NHTSA published a final rule implementing that incentive grant
program. Section 351 of the Department of Transportation (DOT) Appropriations
Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 2001 (PL 106-346) contains a new provision requiring
the withholding of certain Federal aid highway funds from a state, beginning
in fiscal year 2004, if the state has not enacted and is not enforcing such a
law. The rulemaking would amend the regulation implementing the incentive
grant program established in TEA-21 to reflect the new sanctions provisions
established in the DOT appropriations act for FY 2001. |

Summary: Over the past several years,
NHTSA has been actively involved with Event Data Recorders (EDRs) in motor
vehicles. EDRs collect vehicle and occcupant-based crash information. The
agency's involvement has included sponsoring two working groups, using data
from EDRs in crash investigations, and conducting research and development.
Particularly since one working group has completed its work and the other is
nearing completion of its work, NHTSA is requesting comments on what future
role the agency should take related to the continued development and
installation of EDRs in motor vehicles. |

Summary: The Transportation Recall
Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation Act of 2000 requires NHTSA to
develop a dynamic test on rollovers by motor vehicles for the purposes of a
consumer information program, to carry out a program of conducting such tests,
and, as these tests are being developed, to conduct a rulemaking to determine
how best to disseminate test results to the public. In response, this
rulemaking is using the results of NHTSA's evaluation of numerous driving
maneuver tests for the dynamic rollover consumer information program that
Congress mandated for the American public beginning in the 2003 model year.
NHTSA also is considering several alternative methods for using the dynamic
rollover test results in its consumer information for vehicle rollover
resistance |

Summary: The Transportation Recall
Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act of 2000 directed NHTSA to
initiate a rulemaking for the purpose of improving the safety of child
restraints and specified various elements that must be considered in the
rulemaking. NHTSA has two rulemaking proceedings that together address all
but side and rear impact protection requirements for children in child
restraint systems. NHTSA is addressing side impact protection in this
rulemaking, starting with an ANPRM because there are uncertainities in too
many areas to issue an NPRM. These areas include: (a) the determination of
child injury mechanisms in side impacts, and crash characteristics associated
with serious and fatal injuries to children in child restraints; (b)
development of test procedures, a suitable test dummy and appropriate injury
criteria; and (c) identification of cost-beneficial countermeasures.
Uncertainties in these areas, together with the statutory schedule for this
rulemaking, make it difficult for the agency to assess and make judgments
concerning the benefits and costs of a rulemaking on side impact protection.
Though the ANPRM, the agency expects to obtain additional information that
will help it decide whether it is possible and appropriate to issue an NPRM
in the near future and/or identify additional work that needs to be done.
Also in response to the Act, the ANPRM requests comments on the
appropriateness of proposing to incorporate a rear impact test procedure into
Standard No. 213, for rear-facing child restraints systems. Note: This
rulemaking used to be part of RIN 2127-AI34. |

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

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 will implement
the Sanitary Food Transportation Act of 1990 requirement that DOT issue regulations
to: (1) prohibit use of a tank, rail tank car, or cargo tank to transport
food if such vehicle is also used to transport a nonfood product other than a
nonfood product determined by the Secretary to be acceptable; (2) prohibit
use of any other rail or motor vehicle to transport food, if such vehicle is
also used to transport nonfood products determined by the Secretary to be
unacceptable; and (3) require the use of dedicated vehicles to transport
asbestos and extremely dangerous products. DOT submitted draft legislation to
Congress in April of 1997 that would make the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) of HHS, rather than DOT, the lead agency on this topic. DOT would have
retained highway and rail inspection responsibilities and notified FDA of apparent
problems. This proposed legislation was part of DOT's NEXTEA II bill and was
introduced as H.R. 1720 and S. 1234 in 1997. |

prepare hazardous materials for movement in commerce by persons who offer a
hazardous material for transportation or cause a hazardous material to be
transported. Transportation functions are functions performed as part of the
actual movement of hazardous materials in commerce, including loading,
unloading, and storage of hazardous materials that is incidental to their
movement. RSPA also proposes to clarify that "transportation in
commerce," for purposes of applicability of the HMR, begins when a
carrier takes possession of a hazardous material and continues until the
carrier delivers the package containing the hazardous material to its
destination as indicated on shipping papers. |

Summary: This rulemaking transfers the

amends those rules to enhance security as required by recent legislation.
This rulemaking also requires additional qualifications, training, and
testing of individuals who screen persons and property that are carried in
passenger aircraft. It is intended to improve the quality of screening
conducted by aircraft operators and foreign air carriers. This rule is being
adopted to improve the qualifications of individuals performing screening,
and thereby to improve the level of security in air transportation. This will
help ensure a smooth transition of aviation security from the FAA to TSA and
avoid disruptions in air transportation due to any shortage of qualified
screeners. |

Summary: This document amends aviation
security requirements concerning passenger and accessible property screening
in certain private charter passenger operations. TSA issued the existing
standard in June 2002, which requires private charter operators using
aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 95,000 pounds or more,
to ensure that passengers and their carry-on baggage are screened prior to
boarding. TSA is amending the rule to adopt an international standard, and so
now private charter operations in aircraft with a maximum certificated
takeoff weight greater than 45,500 kg (100,309.3 pounds), or with a passenger
seating configuration of 61 or more will be subject to this rule. As a result
of this change, additional aircraft are now covered by the rule that were not
previously subject to it. TSA is establishing a new compliance date for
operators of these aircraft, in order to provide them sufficient time to
develop procedures required by this rule and the security program. Also,
under this amendment, non-TSA screeners are permissible in certain
circumstances. Finally, if an operator cannot complete the required training
for screeners by December 1, 2002, the rule now provides for an extension of
time to complete the training. |

"escorting" to reduce the likelihood that persons under escort in
secured areas could threaten or endanger security. It would respond to a
statutory mandate and it would enhance aviation security. |

make several revisions to the regulation. In addition, in order to implement
its new statutory authority to protect sensitive security information in all

cover information in all modes regulated by the Department of Transportation
and relevant entities in those modes that may create and receive SSI. |

Summary: This rulemaking requires escort
vessels for certain oil tankers transmitting Prince William Sound, Alaska,
and Puget Sound, Washington. It is mandated by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990
(OPA 90). The regulations will reduce the chances of a tanker running aground
or colliding as a result of loss of propulsion or steering control, thereby
potentially reducing the risk of an oil spill. On November 1, 1994, the
crash-stop provision in 33 CFR 168.50(g)(2)was suspended and comments
requested. This rulemaking will beclosed out by a final notice. Comments
received on the final rule and the crash stop suspension will be addressed in
a new rulemaking. Earlier, Coast Guard had scheduled an SNPRM that was to be
published by June 2, 2003. That schedule will be met by a new NPRM under a
new RIN to be assigned shortly. |

Summary: The Coast Guard suspended the
effective dates of portions of the vessel oil spill response plan final rule
(61 FR 1052; 1/12/96, 2115-AD81) because of confusion and widespread
misunderstanding regarding the regulatory language. This action will better
define the terms "salvage expertise and equipment" and "vessel
firefighting capability" requirements. It will also reconsider the
24-hour deployment requirements of the final rule. |

Summary: This rulemaking would consider potential
safety measures that the Coast Guard could take to improve marine safety in
Puget Sound-area waters. The potential measures include extended tug escort
requirements for certain vessels and a dedicated pre-positioned rescue
vessel. This project is being treated as a long term action so that Coast
Guard can focus on the new security rules. |

Summary: Congress, in the Nonindigenous
Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990 (NANPCA), as amended by
the National Invasive Species Act of 1996 (NISA), directed the Coast Guard to
issue regulations and guidelines for ballast water management. This
rulemaking would define a ballast water treatment goal and an interim
performance standard for all ballast water methods being considered for use
as an alternative to mid-ocean ballast water exchange. It is one of several
Coast Guard efforts related to the overall regulation of ballast water
management. |

Summary: This rulemaking will implement an
Automatic Identification System (AIS) carriage requirement pursuant to The
International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). It will cover
SOLAS vessels and non-SOLAS vessels operating on designated waters (i.e.,
Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) areas, coastal zones, inland waterways and other
major waterways). AIS automatically exchanges navigational and positional
information in ship-to-ship and ship-to shore-to ship modes. Safety of Life
at Sea (SOLAS) is a treaty, to which the U.S. is a signatory. |

Summary: This rulemaking would establish
penalties (as enunciated in NISA) for failure to submit Ballast Water
Management Reports, required under 33 CFR 151, Subpart D. It would also
broaden the class of vessels needing to submit reports, in order to gain
better understanding of how Ballast Water Management is working at preventing
the spread of aquatic invasive species. |
